6 Bible Verses about Rebellion, Of Israel

Hear another parable: There was a certain man, the master of a family, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and hired it out to husbandmen, and went into a distant country. But when the season for fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive his fruits. And the husbandmen took his servants, one they beat, and another they killed, and a third they stoned.read more.
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they treated them in the same manner. Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance. And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When therefore the master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these husbandmen? They say unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes." Therefore I tell you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation, producing the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken in pieces, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

AND he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. And in the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. But they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.read more.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and they cut the account short with him, by stoning him, and sent him away shamefully treated. And again he sent another; and him, they slew; and many others, some of whom they beat, and others they killed. Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son. But these husbandmen said to each other, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give his vineyard to others. Have ye never read this scripture? "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."

Then he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and delivered it to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long while. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat, and sent him away empty. And he again sent another servant: and him also they beat, and treating him with indignity, sent him away empty.read more.
And he sent yet a third: and him they also wounded, and cast out. Then said the master of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: probably when they see him, they will shew him respect. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own. So casting him out of the vineyard, they slew him. What then will the master of the vineyard do with these men? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said God forbid. Then he looked on them, and said, What is this then which is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Every one who falleth upon this stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Then he spake this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came, expecting fruit on it, and found none. Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! for three years have I come, expecting fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it render the ground thus useless? He answering said to him, Sir, let it e'en remain this year, until that I dig around it, and spread some manure:read more.
perhaps it may then produce fruit: but if it does not, afterwards thou shalt cut it down.

Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.

BUT I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat;read more.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ. Nevertheless with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were destroyed in the wilderness. Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted. Neither be ye idolaters as some of them; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport themselves." Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
