Context of Mark 12:7
5And [again] he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some. 6Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son. But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours. 8And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard. 9What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7The reasoning of the tenants is unclear to us, although it was apparently clear to the original hearers, requiring no further explanation (compare Matthew 21:38; Luke 20:14). Perhaps when the son arrived, the tenants thought the father had died. They may have believed that if they killed the son, no rightful owner would remain. Then the vineyard might become theirs, since they had worked it for many years.Read the comment
