Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 12:6
He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.Sent him last ... The finality of God's solicitation Israel is in this. Christ, the beloved Son, is the final revelation of God to humanity. Rejection of the Son is the rejection of God himself and the bringing down of the wrath of heaven against the rejecter. The loving forbearance of God in his offering of Jesus Christ for the redemption of men prompted this final mission of love.They will reverence... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 12:7
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.This is the heir ...

The fact that "others" would "render him the fruits in their seasons" was also omitted by Mark. (See Matthew 21:40,41).This... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 12:10
Have ye not read even this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?Jesus here quoted Psalms 118:22,23, thus claiming for himself that he was "the head of the corner," despite the fact of his being rejected by the "builders," that is, the religious leaders. Also, by the prominence of the word "stone" in this passage, Christ called attention to the great prophecies which foretold their fall... read more
