Mark 11,30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
Mark 11,31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

Chapter 12
Of the evil husbandmen.
(Matt. 21,33-46; Luke 20,9-19)
Mark 12,1 And he began to speak to them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
Is.5,1.2
Mark 12,2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12,3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark 12,4 And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mark 12,5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
Mark 12,6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mark 12,7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours!
Mark 12,8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Hebr 13,12
Mark 12,9 What shall therefore the master of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
Mark 12,10 Have you not read even this Scripture (Ps. 118:22,23): The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner;
Mark 12,11 This was from YAHWEH's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
Mark 12,12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
The tribute to Caesar.
(Matt. 22,15-22; Luke 20,20-26)
Mark 12,13 And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
Mark 12,14 And when they were come, they say to him, Master, we know that you are true, and care for no man: for you regard not the person of men, but teachest the way of Elohim in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Mark 12,15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt you me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
Mark 12,16 And they brought it. And he said to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar‘s!
Mark 12,17 And Yahshua answering said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar‘s, and to YAHWEH the things that are YAHWEH‘s. And they marveled at him.
Rom. 13,7
The resurrection of dead.
(Matt. 22,23-33; Luke 20,27-38)
Mark 12,18 Then come to him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Mark 12,19 Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man‘s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Mark 12,20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
Mark 12,21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
Mark 12,22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
Mark 12,23 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her to wife.
Mark 12,24 And Yahshua answering said to them, Do you not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, neither the power of YAHWEH?
Mark 12,25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Mark 12,26 But as touching the dead, that are raised; have you not read in the book of Moses, in the place concerning the Bush, how Elohim spoke to him, saying (Exodus 3:6): I am the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob.
Mark 12,27 He is not the Elohim of the dead, but the Elohim of the living: you therefore do greatly err.
The question after the first commandment.
(Matt. 22,35-40; Luke 20,39.40)
Mark 12,28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mark 12,29 And Yahshua answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear O Israel; YAHWEH is our Elohim,
YAHWEH is one / YAHWEH alone:
Mark 12,30 And you shall love YAHWEH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength (Deu. 6:4, 5): this is the first commandment.
Mark 12,31 And the second is like, You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Lev. 19:18). There is none commandment greater than these.
Mark 12,32 And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, you have said the truth, for there is one G-d/Elohim; and there is none other but he.
Mark 12,33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

(Matt. 22,41-46; Luke 20,41-44)
