And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it (21:34) And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another (21:35) Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise (21:36) But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son (21:37) But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. (21:38) com1 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him]. (21:39) com2 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? (21:40) com3 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons (21:41) Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (21:42) com4 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof (21:43) And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder (21:44) And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them (21:45) But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet
(21:46)
