00:00:00.999 --> 00:00:03.700
Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740
taking this journey together to read the Bible

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:08.820
in a year. Today's reading is from the Gospel

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:31.929
of Mark, Chapter 12. from the vinedressers. And

00:00:31.929 --> 00:00:34.210
they took him, and beat him, and sent him away

00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:37.250
empty -handed. Again he sent them another servant.

00:00:37.509 --> 00:00:40.329
And at him they threw stones, wounded him in

00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:42.929
the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

00:00:43.289 --> 00:00:45.829
And again he sent another, and him they killed,

00:00:46.009 --> 00:00:49.049
and many others, beating some and killing some.

00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:52.429
Therefore, still having one son, his beloved,

00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:55.750
he also sent him to them last, saying, They will

00:00:55.750 --> 00:00:58.630
respect my son. But those vinedressers said among

00:00:58.630 --> 00:01:01.750
themselves, this is the heir come let us kill

00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:04.489
him and the inheritance will be ours so they

00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:06.810
took him and killed him and cast him out of the

00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:09.189
vineyard therefore what will the owner of the

00:01:09.189 --> 00:01:11.609
vineyard do he will come and destroy the vine

00:01:11.609 --> 00:01:14.109
dressers and give the vineyard to others have

00:01:14.109 --> 00:01:16.590
you not even read this scripture the stone which

00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:19.489
the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone

00:01:19.489 --> 00:01:22.689
this was the lord's doing and it is marvelous

00:01:22.689 --> 00:01:25.989
in our eyes and they sought to lay hands on him

00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:28.730
but feared the multitudes, for they knew he had

00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:31.129
spoken the parable against them. So they left

00:01:31.129 --> 00:01:33.909
him and went away. Then they sent to him some

00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:36.469
of the Pharisees and the Herodians to catch him

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:39.230
in his words. When they had come, they said to

00:01:39.230 --> 00:01:42.469
him, Teacher, we know that you are true and care

00:01:42.469 --> 00:01:45.209
about no one, for you do not regard the person

00:01:45.209 --> 00:01:48.430
of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is

00:01:48.430 --> 00:01:51.530
it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Shall

00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:54.920
we pay or shall we not pay? But he, knowing their

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.840
hypocrisy, said to them, Why do you test me?

00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:01.200
Bring me a denarius, that I may see it. So they

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.459
brought it. And he said to them, Whose image

00:02:03.459 --> 00:02:06.439
and inscription is this? They said to him, Caesar's.

00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:09.460
And Jesus answered and said to them, Render to

00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:11.860
Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God

00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:14.860
the things that are God's. And they marveled

00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:17.719
at him. Then some of the Sadducees, who say there

00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.259
is no resurrection, came to him, and they asked

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:23.319
him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us that

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.340
if a man's brother dies and leaves his wife behind

00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:29.360
and leaves no children, his brother should take

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.060
his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

00:02:32.259 --> 00:02:35.020
Now there were seven brothers. The first took

00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:38.240
a wife, and dying, he left no offspring. And

00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.879
the second took her, and he died, nor did he

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.159
leave any offspring. And the third likewise.

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.620
So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last

00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:51.020
of all, the woman died also. Therefore, in the

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:53.539
resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will

00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:57.280
she be? For all seven had her as wife. Jesus

00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.680
answered and said to them, Are you not therefore

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.159
mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures,

00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.479
nor the power of God? For when they rise from

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.419
the dead, they neither marry nor are given in

00:03:08.419 --> 00:03:11.599
marriage, but are like angels in heaven. But

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.219
concerning the dead, that they rise, have you

00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:16.689
not read in the book of Moses? In the burning

00:03:16.689 --> 00:03:19.770
bush passage, how God spoke to him saying, I

00:03:19.770 --> 00:03:22.110
am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and

00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:24.590
the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead,

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:27.169
but the God of the living. You are therefore

00:03:27.169 --> 00:03:30.250
greatly mistaken. Then one of the scribes came,

00:03:30.449 --> 00:03:33.270
and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving

00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:36.189
that he had answered them well, asked him, Which

00:03:36.189 --> 00:03:39.150
is the first commandment of all? Jesus answered

00:03:39.150 --> 00:03:42.289
him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear,

00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:45.210
O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:48.069
And you shall love the Lord your God with all

00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:50.610
your heart, with all your soul, with all your

00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:53.430
mind, and with all your strength. This is the

00:03:53.430 --> 00:03:56.150
first commandment. And the second, like it, is

00:03:56.150 --> 00:03:58.909
this. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

00:03:59.310 --> 00:04:02.030
There is no other commandment greater than these.

00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:04.770
So the scribe said to him, Well said, teacher.

00:04:05.009 --> 00:04:07.909
You have spoken the truth. For there is one God,

00:04:08.090 --> 00:04:11.210
and there is no other but He. And to love him

00:04:11.210 --> 00:04:13.370
with all the heart, with all the understanding,

00:04:13.569 --> 00:04:15.729
with all the soul, and with all the strength,

00:04:15.889 --> 00:04:19.149
and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more

00:04:19.149 --> 00:04:22.149
than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

00:04:22.750 --> 00:04:25.670
Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he

00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:28.009
said to him, You are not far from the kingdom

00:04:28.009 --> 00:04:31.490
of God. But after that, no one dared question

00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:35.230
him. Then Jesus answered and said, While he taught

00:04:35.230 --> 00:04:38.490
in a temple, how is it that the scribes say that

00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:41.129
the Christ is the son of David? For David himself

00:04:41.129 --> 00:04:44.550
said by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my

00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:47.810
Lord, Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies

00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:51.029
your footstool. Therefore David himself calls

00:04:51.029 --> 00:04:54.870
him Lord. How is he then his son? And the common

00:04:54.870 --> 00:04:57.589
people heard him gladly. Then he said to them

00:04:57.589 --> 00:05:00.470
in his teaching, Beware of the scribes who desire

00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:03.370
to go around in long robes, love greetings in

00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:06.410
the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues,

00:05:06.410 --> 00:05:09.850
and the best places at feasts. who devour widows'

00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:13.550
houses, and for pretense make long prayers. These

00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:16.350
will receive greater condemnation. Now Jesus

00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:19.230
sat opposite the treasury, and saw how the people

00:05:19.230 --> 00:05:21.550
put money in the treasury, and many who were

00:05:21.550 --> 00:05:25.009
rich put in much. Then one poor widow came and

00:05:25.009 --> 00:05:28.529
threw in two mites, which make a quadrants. So

00:05:28.529 --> 00:05:30.810
he called his disciples to himself and said to

00:05:30.810 --> 00:05:33.649
them, Assuredly I say to you that this poor widow

00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:37.009
has put in more than all those who have given

00:05:37.009 --> 00:05:39.670
to the treasury. For they all put in out of their

00:05:39.670 --> 00:05:43.370
abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in

00:05:43.370 --> 00:05:52.250
all that she had, her whole livelihood. I hope

00:05:52.250 --> 00:05:54.110
you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did,

00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:56.189
and I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow

00:05:56.189 --> 00:05:58.709
to continue on our journey. God bless you and

00:05:58.709 --> 00:05:59.389
have a great day.
