Literary Analysis of a Parable
Parable of the Vine-growers
Mark 12:1-11
(1) Immediate Context: The parable of the Vine-growers in Mark 12:1-11 is one of three parables also found in Matthew 21:33-44 and Luke 20:9-18 shortly after Jesus’ triumphal entry Mark 11:1-14, cleansing of the temple Mark 11:15-18, the barren fig tree Mark 11:19-26, and Jesus’ authority being challenged Mark 11:27-33. In Matthew we have the same order of events with the exception of the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21:28-32. With the exception of Matthew, the parable of the Vine-growers came immediately after Jesus’ authority had been questioned. What I find interesting to note is that by Jesus telling this parable, He was showing how all through the Old Testament the prophets who had been sent were killed and thus in the end God sends His One and only Son who is killed as predicted would be the actions of the Scribes, Pharisees, and elders of the people. The Scribes, Pharisees, and elders of the people so well understood the language and context of the meaning in the parable and that it was spoken against them, that they wanted to seize Him, in order that they might kill Him, but they were afraid of the people and so they left.
