Bible verse
But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
Mark 12:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 12.
3 But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
5 He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
6 Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7 But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
11 This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
