According to Mark 12: 1-12: The Parable of the Vineyard and the Tenants
1 And he began to speak to them in parables, "A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around (it) and dug a trough under the winepress and built a watchtower and rented it to tenant farmers and went on a journey. 2 And he sent a servant* to the tenant farmers in the season so that he might recieve from the tenants (some) of the fruit of the vineyard; 3 and taking him they beat (him) and sent (him) away empty-handed. 4 And again he sent another servant* to them: and that (one) they beat over the head and treated (him) shamefully. 5 And he sent another: and that (one) they killed, and (he sent) many others, whom indeed they beat, and whom they killed. 6 Now he had one beloved son: he sent him last to them saying that 'They will respect my son.' 7 But those tenants said to themselves that 'This is the heir: come let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 And they took him and killed (him) and threw him outside the vineyard. 9 What [therefore] will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and kill the tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Nor have you read this writing,
The stone which the builders rejected this has become the keystone; 11 by the lord this has happened and it is amazing in our eyes?"
12 And they sought to arrest him, and they feared the crowd, for they knew that he told the parable to them. And leaving him they departed.
*This word can also be translated 'slave'

According to Mark 12: 13-17: Paying Taxes to Caesar
13 And they send some of the Pharisees and Herodians to him so that they might trap him with a word. 14 And coming they say to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and nothing concerns you*; for you do not see into the face of men, but with truth you teach the way of God: is it lawful to give tax to Caesar or not? May we give or not give?" 15 But seeing their hypocrisy he said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius that I may see." 16 And they brought (it). And he says to them, "Whose (is) this image and the inscription?" And they said to him, "Caesar's." 17 And Jesus told them, "Pay Caesar what (is) Caesar's and God what (is) God's. And they were amazed about him.
*Literally 'it is of concern to you about nothing'

According to Mark 12: 18-27: The Question about the Resurrection
18 And Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection come to him, and ask him saying, 19 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if anyone's brother is killed and a wife is left ehind, and children are not left, that his brother may take the woman and he has children for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife and dying did not leave descendants; 21 and the second took her and died(,) not leaving descendants behind; and the third likewise; 22 and the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman died. 23 In the resurrection [when they rise] whose of them will the woman be? For the seven had the same wife." 24 Jesus said to them, "Are you decieved(,) not seeing the scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead they do not marry nor give in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 And about the dead when they rise(,) didn't you read in the book of Moses before the thornbush how God spoke to him saying, "I (am) the God of Abraham and [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob? 27 He is not God of the dead but of the living: you have been much decieved."

According to Mark 12: 28-34: The Great Commandment
28 And one of the scribes approached (and) heard them arguing, (and) seeing that he had answered them well asked him, "Which is the first commandment of all?" 29 Jesus answered that 'First is, "Hear, Israel, the lord your God is one lord, 30 and you will love the lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength." 31 Second (is) this, "You wil love your neighbor as yourself." Another commandment is not greater than these.' 32 And the scribe said to him, "Rightly, teacher, you say in truth that he is one and there is not another except him; 33 and to love him with the whole heart and the whole understanding and the whole strength and to love the neighbor as onself is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices." 34 And Jesus seeing [him] that he answered wisely said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dares to ask him anything.

According to Mark 12: 35-37: The Question about David's Son
35 And answering Jesus said(,) teaching in the temple, "How do the scribes say that the Christ is David's son? 36 David himself said in the holy spirit,
The lord said to my lord, sit at my right, until I put your enemies under your feet.
37 David himself calls him lord, and how is he his son?" And [the] great crowd heard him gladly.

38 And in his teaching he said, "Look away from the scribes who want to walk in long robes and be greeted in the marketplaces 39 and (to be in) the place of honor in the synagogues and the seat of honor in feasts, 40 who devour the houses of widows and pray long with a false motive; they will recieve severest judgment."

According to Mark 12: 41-44: The Widow's Offering
41 And sitting before the offering box he saw how the crowd put* copper coin(s) into the offering box. And many rich (men) put much (in); 42 and coming one poor widow put two lepta** (in), which is a quadrans**. 43 And summoning his disciples he said to them, "Truly I tell you that this poor widow has put more (in) than all who have put (anything) into the offering box: 44 for they gave them out of their abundance but this (woman) out of her need has put all(,) as much as she has(,) her whole life***."
*Literally 'throw' **I don't know how much these are worth except that a lepton is 1/128 of a denarius and a quadrans is two lepta. ***This word, bios, probably relates more to physical life.

1 And when he walked out of the temple one of his disciples says to him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful structures." 2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great structures? Here there will certainly not be left a stone on a stone which is not knocked down."

According to Mark 13: 3-13: The Beginning of Woes
3 And when he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 "They said to us, 'When will these (things) be and what (will be) the sign when all these (things) are about to be brought about?' " 5 And Jesus began to tell them, "See that no one decieves you: 6 many will come in my name saying that 'I am (he)', and they will decieve many. 7 But when you hear wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed: it must happen, but not yet (is) the end. 8 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, there will be earthquakes* in places, there will be famines: these (are) the beginning of birth pains. 9 You see to yourselves: they will betray you to the sanhedrin and you will be beaten in the synagogues and crucified by rulers and kingdoms for my sake as a witness to them. 10 And in all nations first the good news must be preached. 11 And when they lead you handing (you) over, do not worry what you will say, but whatever is given to you in that hour(,) say this: for you will not be speaking, but rather the holy spirit. 12 And brother will betray brother to death and father child, and children will rely on parents and they will kill them; 13 and you will be hated by all because of my name. But he who remains to the end(,) this (one) will be saved.

According to Mark 13: 14-23: The Great Tribulation
14v "But when you see the abomination* of emptiness standing where it should not, let he who reads understand, then those in Judea will flee to the mountain, 15 [but] he who (is) on the housetop must not come down nor enter to pick up anything from his house, 16 and he who (is) in the field must not turn back to pick up his cloak. 17 And woe to pregnant women** and to nursing (mothers) in those days. 18 And pray that it may not be winter: 19 for those days will be of distress that has not happened from the beginning of creation which God created until now and it certainly did not happen***. 20 And unless the lord shortens**** the days, not all flesh will be**** saved; but because of the chosen whom he singled out he shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold here (is) the Christ,' 'look there,' do not believe: 22 for false christs and pseudoprophets will arise and give signs and wonders to decieve, if possible, the chosen. 23 But you see: I have told you all.

3 And when he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, when he was reclining (at the table) a woman came with* an expensive alabaster jar of oil of nard, (and) breaking the alabaster jar she poured (the oil) over his head. 4 But some were indignant in themselves, "For what has she done this destruction of the oil? 5 For she could have sold this oil (for) more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor": and they spoke harshly to her. 6 But Jesus said, "Let her go; why do you bother her? She has done a beautiful deed to me. 7 For you will always have the poor with yourselves and when you wish you can do them good, but you do not always have me. 8 She did what she had: she poured ointment on my body ahead of time for the burial. 9 And truly I tell you, wherever the good news is preached in the whole world, also what this (woman) did will be spoken for her memorial."
*Literally 'having'
