And He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge round it, and dug a wine-trough; and built a tower, and he gave it out to husbandmen, and went away. And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard: and they taking him, beat him, and sent him away empty. read more.
And again he sent to them another servant; and stoning him they wounded him in the head, and sent him away dishonored. And again he sent another; and they slew him, and many others beating some, killing others. Then having still one son, his own beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying; That they will reverence my son. And those husbandmen said to one another; This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. And taking him they slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What then shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read the Scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? And they were seeking to arrest Him; and they feared the multitude; for they knew that He spoke the parable against them. And leaving Him they went away.

Hear ye another parable. A man was a landlord, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a wine-trough in it, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away. And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits; and the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, and stoned another. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. And afterward he sent to them his own son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of his inheritance. And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him. Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen? They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says, Have you not read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I say unto you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. OMITTED TEXT And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing His parables, knew that He speaks concerning them. And seeking to arrest Him, they feared the multitudes, since they held Him as a prophet.

And He began to speak to the people this parable, A man planted a vineyard and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away a long time. And in season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard, and the husbandmen beating him, sent him away empty.

And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence him. And the husbandmen, seeing him, reasoned among themselves saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, in order that the inheritance may be ours. And casting him out from the vineyard they slew him; what then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing, they said, Let it not be so. And looking upon them, He said, What is that which has been written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner. Every one having fallen on that stone will be dashed to pieces; and on whomsoever it may fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands on Him at this hour, and feared the people; for they knew that He spoke this parable against them. And laying in wait for Him, they sent sharpers, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might catch his word, in order to turn Him over to the government and authority of the proconsul.
