Mark 12:1-12 And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey. ² And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard. ³ But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie. ⁴ And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled. ⁵ And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some. ⁶ Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne. ⁷ But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours. ⁸ So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. ⁹ What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others. ¹⁰ Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner. ¹¹ This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes. ¹² Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.
