Luke 20:9-18

BLB(i) 9 And He began to speak to the people this parable: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and rented it to farmers, and went abroad a long time. 10 And in the season, he sent a servant to the farmers, that they will give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers sent him away empty-handed, having beaten him. 11 And he proceeded to send another servant; but having beaten him and having dishonored him, they sent him away empty-handed. 12 And he proceeded to send a third; and having wounded him also, they cast him out. 13 Then the master of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ 14 And having seen him, the farmers began reasoning among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir; let us kill him, so that the inheritance might become ours.’ 15 And having cast him forth outside the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the master of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and will destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard it, they said, “Never may it be!” 17 But having looked at them, He said, “What then is this that has been written: ‘The stone which those building rejected, this has become into the head of the corner’? 18 Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it might fall, it will grind him into powder.”
