New Testament
Mark 12:1-12
The Parable of the Wicked Tenants
121Jesus began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenant farmers and went on a journey. 2When it was time, he sent a servant to the tenants to receive his share of the vineyard's produce. 3They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. 4Again, he sent another servant to them. But they hit him on the head and treated him shamefully. 5Then he sent another servant, but they killed that one. He also sent many others; some they beat, and others they killed. 6He still had one left, a dearly loved son. Finally, he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7But those tenant farmers said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8They seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9So what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others. 10Have you not read this Scripture:
The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
12They were looking for a way to arrest him, because they knew that he had spoken the parable against them. But they feared the crowd, so they left him and went away.
