“But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.”
Mark 12:7 (BSB)
Context Reading
5He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed. 6Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. 7But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
