Matthew 21:40-44

40“When the owner of the vineyard returns,” Jesus asked, “what do you think he will do to those farmers?”

41The religious leaders replied, “He will put the wicked men to a horrible death and lease the vineyard to others who will give him his share of the crop after each harvest.”

42Then Jesus asked them, “Didn’t you ever read this in the Scriptures? ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.’

43I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit.

44Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.”
