Mark 12:3

3 qui adprehensum eum ceciderunt et dimiserunt vacuum

Mark 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:3

And they caught him
This clause is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions, though it seems proper to be retained; and denotes the rudeness and violence with which the prophets of the Lord were used by the Jewish nation:

and beat him:
either with their fists, or with rods, and scourges, till the skin was flayed off:

and sent him away empty;
without any fruit to carry with him, or give an account of, to the owner of the vineyard.

Mark 12:3 In-Context

1 et coepit illis in parabolis loqui vineam pastinavit homo et circumdedit sepem et fodit lacum et aedificavit turrem et locavit eam agricolis et peregre profectus est

2 et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineae

3 qui adprehensum eum ceciderunt et dimiserunt vacuum

4 et iterum misit ad illos alium servum et illum capite vulneraverunt et contumeliis adfecerunt

5 et rursum alium misit et illum occiderunt et plures alios quosdam caedentes alios vero occidentes
