Mark 12:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 So the farmers took the son and they killed him. Then they threw his dead body out of the garden.’[a]
9 Jesus then asked, ‘What will the master of the garden do then? I tell you, he will come and he will kill those farmers. Then he will give the garden to other people to take care of it. 10 I am sure that you have read these words in the Bible:[b]
“The builders refused to use a certain stone. [c]
They thought that it had no value.
But now that stone has become the most important stone at the corner of the building.
Footnotes
- 12:8 The farmers were cruel to the man's servants because the farmers did not want to obey the man. They killed his son for the same reason. They are like people who do not want to obey God. God may give them many chances to change their minds. But if they do not obey God, he will certainly punish them in the end.
- 12:10 See Psalms 118:22-23.
- 12:10 The stone is like Jesus. The leaders did not think that he was important. But God decided that Jesus was important. In the end, he will rule over everybody and over everything.
