SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 12:1-12

1 Jesus began to use stories to teach the people. He said, "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it and dug a hole for a winepress and built a tower. Then he leased the land to some farmers and left for a trip.

2 When it was time for the grapes to be picked, he sent a servant to the farmers to get his share of the grapes.

3 But the farmers grabbed the servant and beat him and sent him away empty handed.

4 Then the man sent another servant. They hit him on the head and showed no respect for him.

5 So the man sent another servant, whom they killed. The man sent many other servants; the farmers beat some of them and killed others.

6 The man had one person left to send, his son whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

7 But the farmers said to each other, 'This son will inherit the vineyard. If we kill him, it will be ours.'

8 So they took the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9 So what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those farmers and will give the vineyard to other farmers.

10 Surely you have read this Scripture: 'The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone.

11 The Lord did this, and it is wonderful to us.' "

12 The Jewish leaders knew that the story was about them. So they wanted to find a way to arrest Jesus, but they were afraid of the people. So the leaders left him and went away.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
