40:021:033 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: 40:021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 40:021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 40:021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 40:021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 40:021:038 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. 40:021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40:021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 40:021:041 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. 40:021:042 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? 40:021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 40:021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 40:021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 40:021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. 40:022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 40:022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 40:022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 40:022:004 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 40:022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 40:022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
