Illustrate a digital art representation of the biblical parable from Mark 12:1-12. Illustrate a man preparing a vineyard, surrounded by a wall, with an excavated pit for the winepress, and a watchtower. Show him renting out the land to a group of diverse male and female farmers of different descents such as Caucasian, Hispanic, and South Asian. Then, a series of servants sent by the man, being turned away or mistreated one after another. The man then sends his beloved son, who is seen as the heir and is killed by the tenants. Then visualize the return of the owner and the reassignment of the vineyard. Incorporate the scripture passage about the rejected stone becoming the cornerstone into the scene. Conclude with the onset of law keepers and elders discussing, set against the backdrop of a wary crowd.

Mark 12:1-12 - "He then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed. He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away."
