KJV — word by word

This -- (WW) This pronoun is in the the subject of the clause, but it is not a demonstrative pronoun, "this", but the regular pronoun, "it." This pronoun is important also because it shows the gender of the subject, something we don't get in the verb. The gender is feminine, so the pronoun refers to the "head" in the previous verse, Mark 12:11.

was --  This helping verb indicates that the verb is the past tense. 

missing  "from" -- (MW) The verse starts with an untranslated preposition  that means "from," "besides", "with," and "beyond." It also has a number of specialized meanings.

the -- There is no Greek word that is translated as "the" in the source.. However, this article is added to recognize that in the Hebrew verse this word was the name of God, which is Yĕhovah.

Lord's -- (WF) The word translated as "Lord" means having power. It means "lord", "master of the house," and "head of the family." Most importantly, it is the word the the Greek Septuagint uses to refer to God's name, Yĕhovah, which is how it is used here, since this is a quote from the Greek OT. This is in the possessive form because of the preposition before it. It does NOT ownership of the "doing" which is not a noun. With the untranslated preposition above, the two words means "from the Lord." It most likely modifies the capstone phrase in the previous verse, Mark 12:11.. The form is not possessive but an object of the preposition.

doing, -- (WW) The verb translated as "doing" means "to become," that is, to enter into a new state. This verb appears after the introductory phrase, "from a Lord. The form is third-person, singular so "it becomes" or "it comes into being."  The verb is in the middle voice where the subject acts on itself. This is emphasized with the pronoun that appears after it and is not translated. This has no relation to the verb usually translated as "to do" in the NT. This verb also has a number of special meanings with different prepositions. I

is -- The verb "is" here is the common form of "to be" in Greek. It means to have a certain characteristic or remain in a certain condition. It also equates terms or assigns characteristics. It is the opposite of the "was...doing" above. When the verb "to be" appears early in the clause before the subject, the sense is more like "it is" or, in the plural, "there are." 

marvelous -- "Marvelous" is an adjective that Jesus only uses twice which means "wonderful", "marvelous", "admirable", "excellent," and "to be worshipped." The gender is again feminine and refers to the "head" in the previous verse.

in -- The word translated as "in" also means "within", "with," or "among." With the accusative, it means "into," "on," and "for."

our -- The "our" is the plural possessive first-person pronoun. It follows the noun, so "of ours."
