Luke:20:9-19
mnt@Luke:20:9 @ Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time.
mnt@Luke:20:10 @ "At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
mnt@Luke:20:11 @ "Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.
mnt@Luke:20:12 @ "Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.
mnt@Luke:20:13 @ "Then the master of the vineyard said. "What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.
mnt@Luke:20:14 @ "But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.
mnt@Luke:20:15 @ "So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master of the vineyard do to them?
mnt@Luke:20:16 @ "He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."
mnt@Luke:20:17 @ He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner?
mnt@Luke:20:18 @ "Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."
mnt@Luke:20:19 @ At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
