Context of Mark 12:10

8So they took him and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard. 9What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and will give the vineyard to others. Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders regarded as unworthy and rejected, This [very stone] has become the chief Cornerstone 11This came about from the Lord, And it is marvelous and wonderful in our eyes’?” 12And they were looking for a way to seize Him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they knew that He spoke this parable in reference to [and as a charge against] them. And so they left Him and went away.
