A Parable

“Hear another Parable.

There was a MASTER of a house who planted a vineyard and
put a fence around it and
dug a winepress in it and
built a tower and
leased it to tenants, and
went into another country. 

When the season for fruit drew near,
HE sent his servants to the tenants
to get his fruit.

And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

Again HE sent other servants, more than the first.

And they did the same to them.

Finally HE sent his Son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my Son.’

But when the tenants saw the Son,
they said to themselves,

‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill Him and have His inheritance.’

And they took Him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

When therefore the OWNER of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”

They said to him, “HE will put those wretches to a miserable death
and let out the vineyard to other tenants
who will give HIM the fruits in their seasons.”

Jesus said to them, "...Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of GOD will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits."

-Matthew 21:33-41,43
