Context of Luke 20:11

9Then Jesus began to tell this story to the people. He said, ‘A man planted vines in his garden to grow grapes there. He found some farmers to work in the garden for him. Then he went away to another country and he stayed there for a long time. 10At the time for the harvest, the man sent a servant to speak to the farmers. He wanted them to give him some fruit from the garden. But the farmers hit the servant with sticks and they sent him away with nothing. The master sent another servant to go to the farmers. They hit him with sticks too, and they did other bad things to him. They also sent him away with nothing. 12The master then sent a third servant to the farmers. They hurt him badly too, and they threw him out of the garden. 13Then the master of the garden said to himself, “I know what I will do. I will send my own son to go to them. I love him very much. Perhaps they will respect him.”

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-19This story adapts Isaiah’s Song of the Vineyard (Isaiah 5:1–7) to describe the rejection of Jesus by Israel’s leaders. In Isaiah’s story, the vineyard owner represents God, and the vineyard represents Israel, which failed to produce good fruit and would be judged. Jesus added new characters to the story.
