ylt@Matthew:21:33 @'Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
ylt@Matthew:21:34 @'And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it,
ylt@Matthew:21:35 @and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
ylt@Matthew:21:36 @'Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.
ylt@Matthew:21:37 @'And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son;
ylt@Matthew:21:38 @and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
ylt@Matthew:21:39 @and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
ylt@Matthew:21:40 @whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?'
ylt@Matthew:21:41 @They say to him, 'Evil men -- he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'
ylt@Matthew:21:42 @Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
ylt@Matthew:21:43 @'Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
ylt@Matthew:21:44 @and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.'
