Mark 12:1-3

Jubilee Bible 2000

12 ¶ And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard and set a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat {Place where grapes are tread} and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went far away.

² And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a slave that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

³ And taking him, they beat him and sent him away empty.
