Mark 12:1-9 And He began to speak to them by parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a fence about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and he let it out to vinedressers, and went away.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He began to speak to them by parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a fence about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and he let it out to vinedressers, and went away. ² And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, so that he might receive from the vinedressers the fruit of the vineyard. ³ And taking him, they beat him and sent him away empty. ⁴ And again he sent to them another servant. And stoning that one, they struck him in the head, and sent him away, insulting him. ⁵ And again he sent another. And they killed him, and many others, beating some and killing some. ⁶ Therefore, still having one son, his own beloved, he also sent him to them last of all, saying, They will respect my son. ⁷ But those vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir! Come, let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours. ⁸ And they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard. ⁹ Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers and will give the vineyard to others.
