noyes - Luke:20:9-18

noyes@Luke:20:9 @ And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time.

noyes@Luke:20:10 @ And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded.

noyes@Luke:20:11 @ And he sent still another servant; and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away emptyhanded.

noyes@Luke:20:12 @ And he went on to send a third; and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

noyes@Luke:20:13 @ And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.

noyes@Luke:20:14 @ But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

noyes@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

noyes@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this, they said, God forbid!

noyes@Luke:20:17 @ But he, looking upon them, said, What then is this which is written, "The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone"?

noyes@Luke:20:18 @ Every one who falleth upon that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falleth, it will grind him to powder.
