web@Mark:12:1 @ He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
web@Mark:12:2 @ When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
web@Mark:12:3 @ They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
web@Mark:12:4 @ Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
web@Mark:12:5 @ Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
web@Mark:12:6 @ Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
web@Mark:12:7 @ But those farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
web@Mark:12:8 @ They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
web@Mark:12:9 @ What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
web@Mark:12:10 @ Haven't you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.
web@Mark:12:11 @ This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes'?" {Psalm strkjv@118:22-23}
web@Mark:12:12 @ They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.
