Mar 12:8 . Mk. says: the son and heir they killed and cast out of the vineyard. Mt. and Lk. more naturally, as it seems: they cast out and killed. We must understand Mk. to mean cast out dead (Meyer, Weiss, Schanz), or with Grotius we must take καὶ ἐξέβαλον as = ἐκβληθέντα .

8. and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard] The order is reversed in the first and third Gospels, which remind us of Naboth, whom they “carried forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones that he died” (1Ki_21:13), and of Him, Who suffered without the gate (Heb_13:12-13; Joh_19:17). The second Evangelist represents them as first killing the son, and then flinging forth the body and denying it the ordinary rites of sepulture.

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him, out of the vineyard. They sent their officers and servants, and apprehended him in the garden; they delivered him to the Gentiles, who were without the vineyard, and by whom, at their instigation, he was put to death, even to the death of the cross. The Ethiopic version reads it in the same order as in Matthew; "they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed hin"; See Gill on Mat 21:39.

Mark 12:9

mar 12:9

mar 12:9

mar 12:9What shall therefore the Lord of the vineyard do?.... The Arabic and Ethiopic versions add, to them; that is, to the husbandmen, as is expressed in Mat 21:40; see Gill on Mat 21:40,

he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. As the former clause contains a question put by Christ upon his having finished the parable, this is an answer to it, given by the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, in whose presence, and for whose sake it was delivered; See Gill on Mat 21:41.

They cast the heir, Jesus Christ, out of the vineyard, by leading him out of Jerusalem to be crucified. (Theophylactus) --- They had before cast him out by calling him a Samaritan and demoniac; (St. John, Chap. viii.) and again by refusing to receive him, and turning him over to the Gentiles. (St. Jerome)

They seized him

"The vine growers seized the son"

Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do?

Jesus asks a question and then gives the answer to teach the people. The question may be written as a statement. AT: "So I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do." (See: Rhetorical Question)

Therefore

Jesus has finished telling the parable and is now asking the people what they think will happen next. (See: Connecting Words)

destroy

kill

will give the vineyard to others

The word "others" refers to other vine growers who will care for the vineyard. AT: "he will give the vineyard to vine growers to care for it" (See: Assumed Knowledge and Implicit Information)

8. καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτόν. They flung out his corpse to the birds and beasts; a last act of defiance and insult. Mt. and Lk. make the casting out precede the slaying, possibly because Christ was crucified outside Jerusalem. Naboth was taken outside the city to be stoned (1Ki 21:13); also Stephen (Act 7:58).
