Mark 12:5-15

5 And again he sent another; and him they killed , and many others * ; beating some , and killing some .
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying * , They will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This * is the heir; come , let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do ? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is * become the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord's doing * , and it is marvellous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way .
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 And when they were come , they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and * carest * for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give , or shall we not give ? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
