Mark 12 : 1 - 11
Chapter 12
| 1 | Then He began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.
|
| 2 | Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers.
|
| 3 | And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
|
| 4 | Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
|
| 5 | And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
|
| 6 | Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, "They will respect my son.'
|
| 7 | But those vinedressers said among themselves, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
|
| 8 | So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
|
| 9 | "Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.
|
| 10 | Have you not even read this Scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.
|
| 11 | This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?"
