Matthew 21:33-46 — Parable of the Wicked Tenants
Matt.21.33-46
33Hear another parable: A man , a master of a household, planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it to tenants, and went away. 34When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit. 35And the tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36Again he sent other servants, more than the first group, and they did the same to them. 37Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' 38But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take possession of his inheritance.' 39So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants? 41They said to him, 'He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and he will lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruit in its seasons.' 42Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone . This came from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes”?' 43Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruit. 44Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but when it falls on anyone, it will crush him to powder. 45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them. 46And though they were seeking to seize him, they feared the crowds, because they regarded him as a prophet.
