³³ Listen to another parable: There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a hedge around it and dug a wine vat in it and built a watchtower. Then he let it out to tenants and went into another country. ³⁴ When the fruit season drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. ³⁵ But the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first time, and they treated them the same way. ³⁷ Finally he sent his own son to them, saying, They will respect and give heed to my son. ³⁸ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, This is the heir; come on, let us kill him and have his inheritance. ³⁹ And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. ⁴⁰ Now when the owner of the vineyard comes back, what will he do to those tenants? ⁴¹ They said to Him, He will put those wretches to a miserable death and rent the vineyard to other tenants of such a character that they will give him the fruits promptly in their season. ⁴² Jesus asked them, Have you never read in the Scriptures: The very Stone which the builders rejected and threw away has become the Cornerstone; this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? ⁴³ I tell you, for this reason the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce the fruits of it. ⁴⁴ And whoever falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom It falls will be crushed to powder .
