Mark 12:7-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. “But those tenant farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours! ’

8. So they seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9. “Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers and give the vineyard to others.

10. Haven’t you read this Scripture: The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone.

11. This came from the Lord and is wonderful in our eyes? ”

12. Because they knew He had said this parable against them, they were looking for a way to arrest Him, but they were afraid of the crowd. So they left Him and went away.
