Matthew 21:33-44

33Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country: 34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruits. 35And the vinedressers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner. 37But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him . 40When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those vinedressers? 41They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other vinedressers, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. 44And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
