Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Mark 12
⁷ But those vinedressers said among themselves, ’This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
⁸ So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
⁹ Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.
¹⁰ Have you not even read this Scripture: ’The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.
¹¹ This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?"
¹² And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.
¹³ Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.
¹⁴ When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
¹⁵ Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."
¹⁶ So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar’s."
¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s." And they marveled at Him.
