Mark 12:6-11

6 He had still one other, ¹a beloved son. ²Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

7 But those tenants said to one another, ³'This is the heir. Come, ⁴let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

8 And they took him and killed him and ⁵threw him out of the vineyard.

9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? ⁶He will ⁷come and destroy the tenants and ⁸give the vineyard to others.

10 ⁹Have you not read ¹⁰this Scripture: ¹¹"'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;^[a]

11 this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"
