Mark 12:8

Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

“For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

“It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.

Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns.

Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a pure and faithful seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

Say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

“Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

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

saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat.

Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,

Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;

You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
