Gill's Notes on the Bible

What 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 Matthew 21:40,

Matthew 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; Matthew 21:40- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this parable explained in the notes at Matthew 21:33-46.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Mark 12:9. And will give the vineyard unto others. — The vineyard must not perish with the husbandmen; it is still capable of producing much fruit, if it be properly cultivated. I will give it into the care of new vine-dressers, the evangelists and apostles. - And under their ministry, multitudes were brought to God before the destruction of Jerusalem.
