Matthew 21:33 - 46
21:33 -
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and
hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country:
21:34 -
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they
might receive the fruits of it.
21:35 -
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned
another.
21:36 -
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
21:37 -
But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
21:38 -
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come,
let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
21:39 -
And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
21:40 -
When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
21:41 -
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard
unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
21:42 -
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders
rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is
marvellous in our eyes?
21:43 -
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a
nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
21:44 -
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
21:45 -
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he
spake of them.
21:46 -
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him
for a prophet.
Mark 12:1 - 11
12:1 -
And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an
hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country.
12:2 -
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the
husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
12:3 -
And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
12:4 -
And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him
in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
12:5 -
And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing
some.
12:6 -
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They
will reverence my son.
12:7 -
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the
inheritance shall be our's.
12:8 -
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
12:9 -
What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen,
and will give the vineyard unto others.
12:10 -
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the
head of the corner:
12:11 -
This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Luke 20:9 - 18
20:9 -
Then 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.
20:10 -
And 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.
20:11 -
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and
sent him away empty.
20:12 -
And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
20:13 -
Then 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.
20:14 -
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 ours.
20:15 -
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the
vineyard do unto them?
20:16 -
He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And
when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
20:17 -
And 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?
20:18 -
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
