Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Mark 11
³⁰ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
³¹ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
³² But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
³³ And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 12
¹ And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
² And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
³ And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
⁴ And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
⁶ Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
⁷ But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
