drb @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 . drb @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 . drb @Matthew:21:35 @And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants , beat one , and killed another , and stoned another . drb @Matthew:21:36 @Again he sent other servants more than the former ; and they did to them in like manner . drb @Matthew:21:37 @And last of all he sent to them his son , saying : They will reverence my son . drb @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 . drb @Matthew:21:39 @And taking him , they cast him forth out of the vineyard , and killed him . drb @Matthew:21:40 @When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come , what will he do to those husbandmen ? drb @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 . drb @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 . drb @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 . drb @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 . drb @Matthew:21:45 @And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables , they knew that he spoke of them . drb @Matthew:21:46 @And seeking to lay hands on him , they feared the multitudes : because they held him as a prophet .
