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 farmers 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 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. |
