Mark 12:1-9 And He began to speak to them in parables, "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He began to speak to them in parables, "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. ² And, at the season, he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits 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 him they wounded in the head, and dishonored. ⁵ And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others, beating some, and killing some. ⁶ He had yet one, a beloved son; he sent him to them last, saying, 'They will pay deference to my son.' ⁷ But those husbandmen said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' ⁸ And, taking him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. ⁹ What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do! He will come, and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
