Mark 12
Intro: Parable of the vineyard -- Tribute money -- Neither marrying nor giving in marriage in the resurrection -- The great commandment -- Widow's mite.

1 And Jesus began to speak unto them by parables, saying,

2 A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged the wine vat, and build a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

3 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

4 And they caught the servant and beat him, and sent him away empty.

5 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

6 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

7 Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

8 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

9 And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
