Mark 12:4-9

4 aAgain bhe sent to them another servant, and cthey struck him on the head and dtreated him shamefully. 5 eAnd he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. 6He had still one other, fa beloved son. gFinally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7But those tenants said to one another, hThis is the heir. Come, ilet us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8And they took him and killed him and jthrew him out of the vineyard. 9What will the owner of the vineyard do? kHe will lcome and destroy the tenants and mgive the vineyard to others.
