Mark 12:1-9

1ThenG2532 Jesus beganG756 to speakG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: “A manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290. He putG4060 a wall around itG5418, dugG3736 a wine vatG5276, andG2532 builtG3618 a watchtowerG4444. ThenG2532 he rented it outG1554G846 to some tenantsG1092 andG2532 went away on a journeyG589.

2

At harvest timeG2540, he sentG649 a servantG1401 toG4314 theG3588 tenantsG1092 toG2443 collectG2983 his share ofG575 theG3588 fruitG2590 of theG3588 vineyardG290. 3ButG2532 they seizedG2983 the servant, beatG1194 him, andG2532 sent him awayG649 empty-handedG2756.

4ThenG2532 he sentG649 themG846 anotherG243 servantG1401, andG2548 they struck him over the headG2775 andG2532 treated him shamefullyG818.

5

He sentG649 still anotherG243, and this oneG2548 they killedG615.

He sent manyG4183 othersG243; someG3739 they beatG1194 andG1161 others they killedG615.

6FinallyG2089G2078, havingG2192 oneG1520 belovedG27 sonG5207, he sentG649 himG846 toG4314 themG846. ‘They will respectG1788 myG1473 sonG5207,’ he saidG3004.

7ButG1161 the tenantsG1092 saidG2036 toG4314 one anotherG1438, ‘ThisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 heirG2818. ComeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 theG3588 inheritanceG2817 will beG1510 oursG1473.’ 8SoG2532 they seizedG2983 the son, killedG615 himG846, andG2532 threwG1544 himG846 outG1854 of theG3588 vineyardG290.

9WhatG5101 thenG3767 will theG3588 ownerG2962 of theG3588 vineyardG290 doG4160? He will comeG2064 andG2532 killG622 those tenantsG1092 andG2532 giveG1325 theG3588 vineyardG290 to othersG243.
