Mark 12:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ The man then sent another servant, but the farmers killed this servant. He sent many other servants to them. The farmers hit some of these servants with sticks and they killed other servants.

⁶ The man had only one person that he could still send. This was his own son. The man loved him very much.^[a] So, last of all, he sent his son to the farmers. He thought, “The farmers will surely respect my son.”

⁷ But those farmers said to each other, “This is the son of our master. The garden will belong to him when his father dies. We should kill the son and then the garden will be ours.”
