MARK 12:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.”
What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others — the owner's response is the parable's judgment oracle: he will come himself (the personal return that the servants' missions anticipated), destroy the tenants (the judgment on Jerusalem that the 70 CE destruction fulfilled), and give the vineyard to others (the extension of the kingdom community to the Gentile mission). The judgment is precise and the transfer is complete.
