Mark 12:2-8

Moffatt(i) 2 When the season came round he sent a servant to the vine dressers to collect from the vine dressers some of the produce of the vineyard, 3 but they took and flogged him and sent him off with nothing. 4 Once more he sent them another servant; him they knocked on the head and insulted. 5 He sent another, but they killed him. And so they treated many others; some they flogged and some they killed. 6 He had still one left, a beloved son; he sent him to them last, saying, 'They will respect my son.' 7 But these vinedressers said to themselves, 'Here is the heir; come on, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.' 8 So they took and killed him, and threw him outside the vineyard.
