[Mark records the parable of "The Wicked Vinedressers" (Mk 12:1-12), its meaning quite clear...]
"Kiss (i.e., pay homage to) the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little.
"Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him."So obvious was Jesus' meaning and intent in telling this parable, that the religious leaders' would have arrested Him at that moment had it not been for the people (Mk 12:12).
Indeed, as Jesus said...
"For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more." - Lk 12:48
