Mark 12:1-11
The Parable of the Tenants
12 And
he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a
vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a
tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. 2 When the season came, he sent a servant[a] to the
tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they took him and beat him and sent him away
empty-handed. 4 Again he sent to them
another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully.
5 And he sent another, and him they killed. And
so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. 6 He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he
sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But
those tenants said to one another, ‘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 out of the vineyard. 9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will
come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not read this Scripture:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has
become the cornerstone;[b]
11 this was the Lord's doing,
and
it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
