Mark 12 Intro: Parable of the vineyard -- Tribute money -- Neither marrying nor giving in marriage in the resurrection -- The great commandment -- Widow's mite.
1 And Jesus began to speak unto them by parables, saying,
2 A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged the wine vat, and build a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
3 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
4 And they caught the servant and beat him, and sent him away empty.
5 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
6 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
7 Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
8 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
9 And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
10 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? Lo, he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
