Markus 12:2

12:2 At harvest time he sent a slave ¹  to the tenants to collect from them ²  his portion of the crop. ³ 

[12:2]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 10:44.

[12:2]  sn This slave (along with the others) represent the prophets God sent to the nation, who were mistreated and rejected.

[12:2]  ² tn Grk “from the tenants,” but this is redundant in English, so the pronoun (“them”) was used in the translation.

[12:2]  ³ tn Grk “from the fruits of the vineyard.”
