Mark 12:1-9 Then he addressed them in parables, saying, A man planted a vineyard, and hedged it about, and dug a wine lake, and built a tower, and let it to tenants, and went to a distant country.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then he addressed them in parables, saying, A man planted a vineyard, and hedged it about, and dug a wine lake, and built a tower, and let it to tenants, and went to a distant country. ² And at the vintage season he sent a servant to the tenants, that he might receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. ³ But they, having seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty. ⁴ Again he sent to them another servant; and him they attacked with stones, and wounded on the head, and sent back with disgrace. ⁵ Again he sent another, whom they killed; and many others, some of whom they beat, and some they killed. ⁶ Therefore, at last, having an only son, his beloved, he sent him also to them, saying, They will reverence mv son. ⁷ But the tenants said among themselves, This is the heir. Come; let us kill him; and the inheritance will be our own. ⁸ So having seized him, they killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. ⁹ What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these tenants, and give the vineyard to others.
