33"Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who
planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a
watchtower. Then he leased it to tenants and went to another country.
34When the harvest time had come, he sent his slaves
to the tenants to collect his produce. 35But the
tenants seized his slaves and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36Again he sent other slaves, more than the first; and
they treated them in the same way. 37Finally he sent
his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to
themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.'
39So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard,
and killed him. 40Now when the owner of the vineyard
comes, what will he do to those tenants?" 41They said
to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and lease the vineyard
to other tenants who will give him the produce at the harvest
time."

(Matthew scripture) Spoken the day after
Jesus cleansed the Temple ...
42Jesus said to
them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is
amazing in our eyes'? 43Therefore I tell you, the
kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces
the fruits of the kingdom. 44The one who falls on this
stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it
falls."
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his
parables, they realized that he was speaking about them.
46They wanted to arrest him, but they feared the
crowds, because they regarded him as a
prophet.
