Episode 528 The Parable of the Tenants (Mark 12:1-17)
Manage episode 402798575 series 3239592
Today BibleWorm reads Mark 12:1-17. Jesus is in Jerusalem, in the last week of his life, when he pulls upon Isaiah’s well-known image of Israel as a vineyard to offer another parable - one in which those sent on behalf of the landowner are rejected over and over again by the proverbial management. What does it mean in this context to say that the one that was rejected will be the cornerstone - or does he mean foundation stone? And how does all of this tie into Jesus’s famously clever instruction to pay to the emperor the things that are his, and to God the things that are God’s? Oh – and we also announce our summer series!
