Context of Mark 12:11
9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10Have you not read this scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?” 12Now they wanted to arrest him (but they feared the crowd), because they realized that he told this parable against them. So they left him and went away. 13Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to trap him with his own words.
