Mark 12:1-12
Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He
put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers
and moved to another place.
Mark 12:1-122 At harvest time he sent a servant to the
tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they
seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another
servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully.
Mark 12:1-125 He sent still another, and that one they
killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed. 6 “He
had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying,
‘They will respect my son.’
Mark 12:1-127 “But the tenants said to one another,
‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they
took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will
come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
Mark 12:1-1210 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “‘The stone the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone; 11
the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
Mark 12:1-1212 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had
spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they
left him and went away.

Isaiah 5:1-2
I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a
vineyard on a fertile hillside. 2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it
with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress
as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad
fruit.
Isaiah 5:7
The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of
distress.
