33 Hear another parable. There was a certain landlord who planted a vineyard and hedged it around, and dug therein a wine lake, and built a tower, and let it to tenants and went to a distant country.
34 And when the fruit season approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to receive the fruits of it.
35 But the tenants seizing his servants, beat one and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again he sent other servants in greater number than the first, and they treated them in the same manner.
37 At last he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir. Come let us kill him and keep possession of his inheritance.
39 So, seizing him, they turned him out of the vineyard and slew him.
40 Now when the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to these tenants?
41 They say to him, "Wretches! he will put them to a wretched death: and his vineyard he will let to others; who will render him the fruits in their seasons."
42 Jesus saith to them, Have you never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the builders rejected was the very one for the head of the corner. This [salvation] was from the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes."
43 Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation producing the fruits thereof.
44 And he who falleth on that stone will be bruised, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees, when they heard his parables, knew that he spake of them:
46 but when they sought to seize him, they were afraid of the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.
