Mark 12:8

Verse 8 of 44. The 12th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.

4Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

5Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.

6Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

7But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

10Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.

11This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
