Mark 12:1-11

Good News Translation GNT

1 Then Jesus spoke to them in parables: "Once there was a man who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a hole for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to tenants and left home on a trip.

2 When the time came to gather the grapes, he sent a slave to the tenants to receive from them his share of the harvest.

3 The tenants grabbed the slave, beat him, and sent him back without a thing.

4 Then the owner sent another slave; the tenants beat him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5 The owner sent another slave, and they killed him; and they treated many others the same way, beating some and killing others.

6 The only one left to send was the man's own dear son. Last of all, then, he sent his son to the tenants. "I am sure they will respect my son,' he said.

7 But those tenants said to one another, "This is the owner's son. Come on, let's kill him, and his property will be ours!'

8 So they grabbed the son and killed him and threw his body out of the vineyard.

9 "What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do?" asked Jesus. "He will come and kill those tenants and turn the vineyard over to others.

10 Surely you have read this scripture? "The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all.

11 This was done by the Lord; what a wonderful sight it is!' "

New International Version NIV

1 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’?”
