dourh - Matthew:21:33-44

dourh@Matthew:21:33 @ Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.

dourh@Matthew:21:34 @ And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.

dourh@Matthew:21:35 @ And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

dourh@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.

dourh@Matthew:21:37 @ And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.

dourh@Matthew:21:38 @ But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.

dourh@Matthew:21:39 @ And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

dourh@Matthew:21:40 @ When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?

dourh@Matthew:21:41 @ They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.

dourh@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.

dourh@Matthew:21:43 @ Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.

dourh@Matthew:21:44 @ And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
