isv - Matthew:21:33-44

isv@Matthew:21:33 @ “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a wall around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went abroad.

isv@Matthew:21:34 @ When harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenant farmers to collect his produce.

isv@Matthew:21:35 @ But the farmers took his servants and beat one, killed another, and attacked another with stones.

isv@Matthew:21:36 @ Again, he sent other servants to them, a greater number than the first, but the tenant farmerstreated them the same way.

isv@Matthew:21:37 @ Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’

isv@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him and get his inheritance!’

isv@Matthew:21:39 @ So they grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

isv@Matthew:21:40 @ Now when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those farmers?”

isv@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, “He will put those horrible men to a horrible death. Then he will lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at harvest time.”

isv@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them,“Have you never read in the Scriptures,‘The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing,and it is amazing in our eyes’?

isv@Matthew:21:43 @ That is why I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce fruit for it.

isv@Matthew:21:44 @ The person who falls over this stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
