Mark 12:1-9

MSTC(i) 1 And he began to speak unto them in similitudes. "A certain man planted a vineyard, and compassed it with a hedge, and ordained a winepress, and built a tower in it, and let it out to hire unto husbandmen, and went into a strange country. 2 And when the time was come, he sent to the tenants a servant that he might receive of the tenants of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they caught him and beat him and sent him again empty. 4 And moreover he sent unto them another servant, and at him they cast stones and brake his head, and sent him again all too reviled. 5 And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, beating some, and killing some. 6 "Yet had he one son whom he loved tenderly, him also sent he at the last unto them, saying, 'They will fear my son.' 7 But the tenants said amongst 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 What shall then the Lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and let out the vineyard to others.
