* Another parable , hear ye : A man there was , a householder , who planted a vineyard , and , a wall around it , placed , and digged in it a wine-vat , and built a tower , and let it out to husbandmen , and left home . * And , when the season of fruits drew near , He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits . * And the husbandmen , taking his servants , one , indeed , they beat , and , another , slew , and , another , stoned . * Again , sent he forth other servants , more than the first , and they did unto them , likewise . * Afterwards , however , he sent forth unto them his son , saying , They will pay deference unto my son ! * But , the husbandmen , seeing the son , said among themselves , This , is , the heir : Come on ! Let us slay him , and have his inheritance . * And , taking him , they cast him forth outside the vineyard , and slew him . * When therefore the master of the vineyard shall come , what will he do unto those husbandmen ? * They say unto him Miserable men ! Miserably , will he destroy them ; and will let out , the vineyard , to other husbandmen , who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons . * Jesus saith unto them Have ye , never , read in the Scriptures , A stone which the builders rejected , the same , hath become , head of the corner : From the Lord , hath this come to pass , and is marvellous in our eyes . * Wherefore I say unto you , The kingdom of God , will be taken away from you , and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof : * And , he that falleth on this stone , will be sorely bruised ; but , on whomsoever it may fall , it will utterly destroy him .
