Mark 12:1-9 And He begins to speak to them in parables: "A vineyard a man is planting, and he places about it a stone dike, and excavates a vat, and builds a tower, and leased it to farmers, and travels."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He begins to speak to them in parables: "A vineyard a man is planting, and he places about it a stone dike, and excavates a vat, and builds a tower, and leased it to farmers, and travels." ² And he dispatches to the farmers, at the season, a slave, that from the farmers he may be getting from the fruits of the vineyard." ³ And taking him, they lash him and dispatch him empty." ⁴ And again he dispatches to them another slave, and that one, pelting with stones, they hit his head and dispatch him in dishonor." ⁵ And again another he dispatches, and that one they kill, and many others, lashing these, indeed, yet killing those." ⁶ Still one had he, a son, his beloved. He dispatches him also, last, to them, saying that 'They will be respecting my son.'" ⁷ Yet those farmers say to themselves that 'This is the enjoyer of the allotment. Hither! We should be killing him, and the enjoyment of the allotment will be ours!'" ⁸ And, taking him, they kill him and cast him outside of the vineyard." ⁹ What, then, will the lord of the vineyard be doing? He will be coming and destroying the farmers and will be giving the vineyard to others."
