12:01 |
And he began to speak to them in parables. |
|
"A man
planted a vineyard, and around it he put a stone dike." |
|
"And he under-dug a vat." |
|
"And he home-made a tower." |
|
"And he leased it out to land workers." |
|
"And he
went away." |
12:02 |
And he
sent a slave to the land workers in the season, |
|
so that
he might receive from the land workers the fruits of
the vineyard. |
12:03 |
And having seized him, they skinned (him), ... |
|
and they
sent him away empty. |
12:04 |
And again,
he sent them another slave |
|
and that one they headed and insulted. |
12:05 |
And he sent out another, and that one they killed. |
|
And many others, some indeed skinning, some and killing. |
12:06 |
Then, still having his one beloved son, ... |
|
finally, he sent him before them, saying that they would respect
my son. |
12:07 |
"But those the land-workers said to themselves that, ... 'This one is the heir, come
let's kill him,' ..." |
|
"and the inheritance will be ours!" |
12:08 |
And having seized him, ... |
|
they killed him and cast him out of the vineyard. |
12:09 |
What then will the Lord of the vineyard do? |
|
He shall come and destroy the land workers, ... |
|
and he will give the vineyard to others. |
12:10 |
Have you not read this scripture? |
|
"A stone which the home-builders rejected,
... |
|
This one has come to be into a 'head of an angle." |
12:11 |
"This came to be from the Lord, ... |
|
and it is amazing in our eyes." |
12:12 |
And they were seeking to seize him. |
|
And they were afraid of the crowd,
... |
|
because they knew the parable he told was against them. |
|
And leaving him they went away. |
