noyes@Mark:12:1 @ And he began to speak to them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a winevat, and built a tower; and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
noyes@Mark:12:2 @ And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
noyes@Mark:12:3 @ And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded.
noyes@Mark:12:4 @ And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and treated shamefully.
noyes@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
noyes@Mark:12:6 @ Still he had one beloved son; he sent him last to them, saying, They will respect my son.
noyes@Mark:12:7 @ But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
noyes@Mark:12:8 @ And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
noyes@Mark:12:9 @ What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
noyes@Mark:12:10 @ And have ye not read this scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone;
noyes@Mark:12:11 @ from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes"?
noyes@Mark:12:12 @ And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And they left him, and went away.
