28

ButG1161 whatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG4771? AG444 certain manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5043; andG2532 he cameG4334 to the firstG4413, and saidG3004, SonG5043, goG5217 workG2038 to dayG4594 inG1722 myG1473 vineyardG3588G290. 29He answeredG3588G611 and saidG3004, I willG2309 notG3756: butG1161 afterwardG5305 he repentedG3338, and wentG565. 30AndG2532 he cameG4334 to the secondG1208, and saidG3004 likewiseG5615. AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG3004, IG1473 go, sirG2962: andG2532 wentG565 notG3756. 31WhetherG5101 ofG1537 them twainG1417 didG4160 the willG3588G2307 ofG3588G3962 his fatherG3588G3962? They sayG3004 unto himG846, The firstG4413. JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 the publicansG3588G5057 andG2532 the harlotsG3588G4204 goG4254 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 beforeG4254 youG4771. 32ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 inG1722 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 the publicansG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG3588G4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG1161 yeG4771, when ye had seenG3708 it, repentedG3338 notG3756 afterwardG5305, thatG3588 ye might believeG4100 himG846.

33HearG191 anotherG243 parableG3850: There wasG1510 a certainG5100 householderG3617, whichG3748 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 hedgedG5418 itG846 round aboutG4060, andG2532 diggedG3736 a winepressG3025 inG1722 itG846, andG2532 builtG3618 a towerG4444, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 outG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589: 34AndG1161 whenG3753 the timeG3588G2540 of the fruitG3588G2590 drew nearG1448, he sentG649 hisG846 servantsG3588G1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG3588G1092, that they might receiveG2983 the fruitsG3588G2590 of itG846. 35AndG2532 the husbandmenG3588G1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG3588G1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739. 36AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 unto themG846 likewiseG5615. 37ButG1161 last of allG5305 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 hisG846 sonG3588G5207, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG1473 sonG3588G5207. 38ButG1161 whenG3708 the husbandmenG1092 sawG3708 the sonG3588G5207, they saidG3004 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG1510 the heirG3588G2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 let us seizeG2722 onG3588G2817 hisG846 inheritanceG3588G2817. 39AndG2532 they caughtG2983 himG846, and castG1544 him outG1854 of the vineyardG3588G290, andG2532 slewG615 him. 40WhenG3752 the lordG3588G2962 thereforeG3767 of the vineyardG3588G290 comethG2064, whatG5101 will he doG4160 untoG3588G1092 thoseG1565 husbandmenG3588G1092? 41They sayG3004 unto himG846, He willG622 miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG3588G290 untoG1092 otherG243 husbandmenG1092, whichG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG3588G2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG3588G2540. 42JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, Did yeG314 neverG3763 readG314 inG1722 the scripturesG3588G1124, The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137: thisG3778 isG1096 the Lord’sG2962 doingG3844, andG2532 it isG1510 marvellousG2298 inG1722 ourG1473 eyesG3788? 43ThereforeG1223 say IG3004 unto youG4771, The kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 shall be takenG142 fromG575 youG4771, andG2532 givenG1325 to a nationG1484 bringing forthG4160 the fruitsG3588G2590 thereofG846. 44AndG2532 whosoever shall fallG4098 onG1909 thisG3778 stoneG3588G3037 shall be brokenG4917: butG1161 onG1909 whomsoeverG3739 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039.
