Mark 12:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:6

Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved
The Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the one, and only Son of God his Father, his only begotten Son, for he has no other Son in the same way of filiation; and who is his dear Son, the Son of his love, who was loved by him before the foundation of the world; and whom he declared to be his beloved Son, both at his baptism, and at his transfiguration upon the mount, by a voice from heaven: this Son he having with him, in his bosom, as one brought up with him, and rejoicing before him,

he sent him also last unto them;
after all the prophets had been with them, when the last days were come, the end of the Jewish state, civil and ecclesiastical; see ( Hebrews 1:1 ) ;

saying, they will reverence my son.
The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read, "perhaps they will reverence my son", as in ( Luke 20:13 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 21:37).

Mark 12:6 In-Context

4 Then the man sent another servant. They hit him on the head and showed no respect for him.

5 So the man sent another servant, whom they killed. The man sent many other servants; the farmers beat some of them and killed others.

6 "The man had one person left to send, his son whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

7 "But the farmers said to each other, 'This son will inherit the vineyard. If we kill him, it will be ours.'

8 So they took the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
