Luke 20:9-18

91And He beganG757 to tellG3004 the peopleG2992 thisG3778 parableG3850: “A manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290 and rentedG1554 it out to 2vine-growersG1092, and wentG589 on a journeyG589 for a longG2425 timeG5550. 10At the harvest timeG2540 he sentG649 a slaveG1401 to the vine-growersG1092, soG2443 that they would giveG1325 him some of the produceG2590 of the vineyardG290; but the vine-growersG1092 beatG1194 him and sentG1821 him awayG1821 empty-handedG2756. 11And he proceededG4369 to sendG3992 anotherG2087 slaveG1401; and they beatG1194 him alsoG2548 and treatedG818 him shamefullyG818 and sentG1821 him awayG1821 empty-handedG2756. 12And he proceededG4369 to sendG3992 a thirdG5154; and thisG3778 oneG3778 alsoG2532 they woundedG5135 and castG1544 out. 13The 3ownerG2962 of the vineyardG290 saidG3004, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? I will sendG3992 my belovedG27 sonG5207; perhapsG2481 they will 4respectG1788 him.’ 14But when the vine-growersG1092 sawG3708 him, they reasonedG1260 with oneG240 anotherG240, sayingG3004, ‘ThisG3778 is the heirG2818; let us killG615 him soG2443 that the inheritanceG2817 will be oursG1473.’ 15SoG2532 they threwG1544 him out of the vineyardG290 and killedG615 him. WhatG5101, thenG3767, will the 5ownerG2962 of the vineyardG290 doG4160 to them? 16He will comeG2064 and 6destroyG622 theseG3778 vine-growersG1092 and will giveG1325 the vineyardG290 to othersG243.” WhenG1161 they heardG191 it, they saidG3004, “7May it neverG3361 be!” 17But 8Jesus lookedG1689 at them and saidG3004, “WhatG5101 thenG3767 is thisG3778 that is writtenG1125: ‘9The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, ThisG3778 becameG1096 10the chiefG2776 cornerG1137 stone’? 1811EveryoneG3956 who fallsG4098 on that stoneG3037 will be brokenG4917 to piecesG4917; but on whomeverG3739G302 it fallsG4098, it will scatterG3039 him likeG3039 dustG3039.”
