20:9Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

20:10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

Selected passage

20:11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

20:12And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

20:13Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

20:14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

20:15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

20:16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

20:17And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

20:18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
