The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

Mark 12:1-12

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

1
And he began to speak to them in similes: `A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-wine-vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;
2
and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
3
and they, having taken him, did severely beat him , and did send him away empty.
4
`And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded him in the head, and sent away--dishonoured.
5
`And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6
`Having yet therefore one son--his beloved--he sent also him unto them last, saying--They will reverence my son;
7
and those husbandmen said among themselves--This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;
8
and having taken him, they did kill, and cast him forth without the vineyard.
9
`What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10
And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:
11
from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.'
12
And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;
