Mark:12:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And He began to speak to them in parables :
A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it ,
dug a wine vat and built a tower .
And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country .
*
And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers ,
that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers .
*
And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty .
*
And again he sent to them another servant ,
and at him they threw stones ,
wounded him in the head ,
and sent him away shamefully treated .
*
And again he sent another ,
and him they killed ;
and many others ,
beating some and killing some .
*
Therefore still having one son ,
his beloved ,
he also sent him to them last ,
saying ,
They will reverence my son .
*
But those vinedressers said among themselves ,
This is the heir .
Come ,
let us kill him ,
and the inheritance will be ours .
*
So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard .
*
Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do ?
He will come and destroy the vinedressers ,
and give the vineyard to others .
*
Have you not even read this Scripture :
The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner ;
*
this came about from the Lord ,
and it is marvelous in our eyes ?
*
And they sought to lay hold on Him ,
but feared the multitude ,
for they knew He had spoken the parable against them .
So they left Him and went away .
