   The Parable of the Tenants   
   12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.   
   He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower.   
   Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 2 At   
   harvest time he sent    
   a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the   
   vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4   
   Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and   
   treated him shamefully. 5 He    
   sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of   
   them they beat, others they killed.   
      
   6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,   
   saying, ‘They will respect my son.’   
      
   7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s   
   kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed   
   him, and threw him out of the vineyard.   
      
   9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those   
   tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage of   
   Scripture:   
      
   “‘The stone the builders rejected   
       has become the cornerstone;   
   11 the Lord has done this,   
       and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”   
      
   12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a   
   way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them.   
   But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.
