* And when he was come into the temple , the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching , and said , By what authority doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this authority ? * And Jesus answered and said unto them , I also will ask you one thing , which if ye tell me , I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things . * The baptism of John , whence was it ? from heaven , or of men ? And they reasoned with themselves , saying , If we shall say , From heaven ; he will say unto us , Why did ye not then believe him ? * But if we shall say , Of men ; we fear the people ; for all hold John as a prophet . * And they answered Jesus , and said , We cannot tell . And he said unto them , Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things . * But what think ye ? A certain man had two sons ; and he came to the first , and said , Son , go work to day in my vineyard . * He answered and said , I will not : but afterward he repented , and went . * And he came to the second , and said likewise . And he answered and said , I go , sir : and went not . * Whether of them twain did the will of his father ? They say unto him , The first . Jesus saith unto them , Verily I say unto you , That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you . * For John came unto you in the way of righteousness , and ye believed him not : but the publicans and the harlots believed him : and ye , when ye had seen it , repented not afterward , that ye might believe him . * Hear another parable : There was a certain householder , which planted a vineyard , and hedged it round about , and digged a winepress in it , and built a tower , and let it out to husbandmen , and went into a far country : * And when the time of the fruit drew near , he sent his servants to the husbandmen , that they might receive the fruits of it . * And the husbandmen took his servants , and beat one , and killed another , and stoned another . * Again , he sent other servants more than the first : and they did unto them likewise . * But last of all he sent unto them his son , saying , They will reverence my son . * But when the husbandmen saw the son , they said among themselves , This is the heir ; come , let us kill him , and let us seize on his inheritance . * And they caught him , and cast him out of the vineyard , and slew him . * When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh , what will he do unto those husbandmen ? * They say unto him , He will miserably destroy those wicked men , and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen , which shall render him the fruits in their seasons . * Jesus saith unto 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 ? * Therefore say I unto you , The kingdom of God shall be taken from you , and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof . * And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken : but on whomsoever it shall fall , it will grind him to powder . * And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables , they perceived that he spake of them . * But when they sought to lay hands on him , they feared the multitude , because they took him for a prophet .
