Mark 12:7

Mark 12:7

5 And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, ^abeating some and killing some.

6 Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

7 But those vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8 So they took him and ^akilled him and cast him out of the vineyard.

9 “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.

<< Mark 12:6

Mark 12:8 >>

This is the heir - So they appear to have acknowledged in their consciences that this was the Messiah, the heir of all things.

The inheritance shall be ours - By slaying him we shall maintain our authority, and keep possession of our revenues.
