Mark 12:1-2

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Parable of the Vineyard Owner

12 Then^(A) He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard,^(B) put a fence around it, dug out a pit for a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went away. ² At harvest time he sent^(C) a slave^(D) to the farmers to collect some of the fruit^(E) of the vineyard from the farmers.
