Mark 12:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:8

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him, out of the
vineyard.
] They sent their officers and servants, and apprehended him in the garden; they delivered him to the Gentiles, who were without the vineyard, and by whom, at their instigation, he was put to death, even to the death of the cross.

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.
