Luke 20:9-18
And he
began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out
to tenants and went into another country for a long while. 10 When the time
came, he sent a servant[b] to the tenants, so that they would give him some of
the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away
empty-handed. 11 And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated
him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 And he sent yet a third.
This one also they wounded and cast out. 13 Then the owner of the vineyard
said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect
him.’ 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the
heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ 15 And they threw
him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the
vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy those tenants and give the
vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But he
looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’? [c]
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to
pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
