Matthew 21:33-43

CLV(i) 33 Another parable hear: A man who was a householder plants a vineyard and places a stone dike about it, and excavates a trough in it, and builds a tower, and leased it to farmers, and travels." 34 Now when the season of the fruits draws near, he dispatches his slaves to the farmers to be getting his fruits." 35 And the farmers, taking his slaves, indeed, lash one, yet kill one, yet pelt one with stones." 36 Again he dispatches other slaves, more than the first. And they do to them similarly." 37 Yet subsequently he dispatches to them his son, saying, 'They will be respecting my son.'" 38 Yet the farmers, perceiving the son, said among themselves, 'This is the enjoyer of the allotment. Hither! We should be killing him and have the enjoyment of his allotment.'" 39 And taking him they cast him out of the vineyard and kill him. 40 Whenever, then, the lord of the vineyard may be coming, what will he be doing to those farmers? 41 They are saying to Him, "Evil men! Evilly will he be destroying them, and the vineyard will he be leasing to other farmers, who will be rendering the fruits to him in their seasons." 42 Jesus is saying to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which is rejected by the builders, This came to be for the head of the corner. From the Lord came this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? 43 Therefore am I saying to you that the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you and shall be given to a nation producing its fruits.
