Context of Mark 12:10

8So they grabbed him and murdered him and threw his body out of the vineyard. 9“What do you suppose the owner of the vineyard will do?” Jesus asked. “I’ll tell you—he will come and kill those farmers and lease the vineyard to others.

But they were afraid of the crowd, so they left him and went away.
