Mark 12:1-12
1 And he began to speak to them in parables: "A man dug a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a pit, and built a tower, and he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out on a long journey. 2 And in time, he sent a servant to the farmers, in order to receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the farmers. 3 But they, having apprehended him, beat him and sent him away empty. 4 And again, he sent another servant to them. And they wounded him on the head, and they treated him with contempt. 5 And again, he sent another, and him they killed, and many others: some they beat, but others they killed. 6 Therefore, having still one son, most dear to him, he sent him also to them, at the very end, saying, 'For they will reverence my son.' 7 But the settlers said one to another: 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him. And then the inheritance will be ours.' 8 And apprehending him, they killed him. And they cast him out of the vineyard. 9 Therefore, what will the lord of the vineyard do?" "He will come and destroy the settlers. And he will give the vineyard to others." 10 "And so, have you not read this scripture?: 'The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made the head of the corner. 11 By the Lord has this been done, and it is wondrous in our eyes.' " 12 And they sought to take hold of him, but they feared the crowd. For they knew that he had spoken this parable about them. And leaving him behind, they went away. 2 Peter 1:2-7 2 Grace to you. And may peace be fulfilled according to the plan of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord, 3 in the same manner that all things which are for life and piety have been given to us by his Divine virtue, through the plan of him who has called us to our own glory and virtue. 4 Through Christ, he has given us the greatest and most precious promises, so that by these things you may become sharers in the Divine Nature, fleeing from the corruption of that desire which is in the world. 5 But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge; 6 and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety; 7 and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
