Mark 12:1-5 ▼

1 And He began to speak to them in parables: “A man PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT, AND DUG A VAT UNDER THE WINE PRESS AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

2 And at the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

3 And they took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

4 And again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

5 And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.
