And he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set up a hedge, and dug a winevat, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.

And having seized him, they beat him, and sent him away empty. read more.

And again he sent another, and that man they killed, and many others, beating some, and killing some. Therefore, still having his one beloved son, he also sent him to them, last, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son. But those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. And having taken him, they killed him, and cast him outside of the vineyard. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner. This happened from Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes? And they sought to seize him. And they feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And having left him, they went away.

Hear ye another parable. There was a certain man who was a house-ruler, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey. And when the time of the fruits approached, he sent his bondmen to the farmers to receive his fruits. And the farmers having taken his bondmen, they beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. read more.

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having seized him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Because of this I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it. And he who falls on this stone will be shattered, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust. And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke about them. And when they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him as a prophet.

And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man. But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours. And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen! But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner? Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust. And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour.
