rkjnt - Matthew:21:33-44

rkjnt@Matthew:21:33 @ Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to farmers, and went to a far country:

rkjnt@Matthew:21:34 @ And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, that they might collect his fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:35 @ And the tenants took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:36 @ Again, he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did the same to them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:37 @ But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize his inheritance.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:39 @ And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:40 @ Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other tenants, who shall give him the fruits in their seasons.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the cornerstone: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:43 @ Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation which will bring forth its fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:44 @ And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
