Mark 12:4-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. And again, he sent another servant to them. And they wounded him on the head, and they treated him with contempt.

5. And again, he sent another, and him they killed, and many others: some they beat, but others they killed.

6. Therefore, having still one son, most dear to him, he sent him also to them, at the very end, saying, 'For they will reverence my son.'

7. But the settlers said one to another: 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him. And then the inheritance will be ours.'

8. And apprehending him, they killed him. And they cast him out of the vineyard.

9. Therefore, what will the lord of the vineyard do?" "He will come and destroy the settlers. And he will give the vineyard to others."

10. "And so, have you not read this scripture?: 'The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made the head of the corner.

11. By the Lord has this been done, and it is wondrous in our eyes.' "

12. And they sought to take hold of him, but they feared the crowd. For they knew that he had spoken this parable about them. And leaving him behind, they went away.
