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.

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.
