Mark 12:2-8

Living_Oracles(i) 2 The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive his portion of the fruits of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 Again, he sent to them another servant, whom they wounded in the head with stones, and sent back with disgrace. 5 He sent another, whom they killed; and of many more that he sent, some they beat, and some they killed. 6 At last, having an only son, whom he loved, he sent him also to them; for he said, They will reverence my son. 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own. 8 Then they laid hold on him, and having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him.
