Mark 12:11-14
The Message
9-11 “What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? Right. He’ll come and get rid of everyone. Then he’ll assign the care of the vineyard to others. Read it for yourselves in Scripture:
That stone the masons threw out

13-14 They sent some Pharisees and followers of Herod to bait him, hoping to catch him saying something incriminating.

Tell us: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
