ylt @Matthew:21:33 @'Hear ye another simile : There was a certain man , a householder , who planted a vineyard , and did put a hedge round it , and digged in it a wine-press , and built a tower , and gave it out to husbandmen , and went abroad . ylt @Matthew:21:34 @'And when the season of the fruits came nigh , he sent his servants unto the husbandmen , to receive the fruits of it , ylt @Matthew:21:35 @and the husbandmen having taken his servants , one they scourged , and one they killed , and one they stoned . ylt @Matthew:21:36 @'Again he sent other servants more than the first , and they did to them in the same manner . ylt @Matthew:21:37 @'And at last he sent unto them his son , saying , They will reverence my son ; ylt @Matthew:21:38 @and the husbandmen having seen the son , said among themselves , This is the heir , come , we may kill him , and may possess his inheritance ; ylt @Matthew:21:39 @and having taken him , they cast [him ] out of the vineyard , and killed him ; ylt @Matthew:21:40 @whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come , what will he do to these husbandmen ?' ylt @Matthew:21:41 @They say to him , 'Evil men -- he will evilly destroy them , and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen , who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons .' ylt @Matthew:21:42 @Jesus saith to them , 'Did ye never read in the Writings , A stone that the builders disallowed , it became head of a corner ; from the Lord hath this come to pass , and it is wonderful in our eyes . ylt @Matthew:21:43 @'Because of this I say to you , that the reign of God shall be taken from you , and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit ; ylt @Matthew:21:44 @and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken , and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces .' ylt @Matthew:21:45 @And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes , knew that of them he speaketh , ylt @Matthew:21:46 @and seeking to lay hold on him , they feared the multitudes , seeing they were holding him as a prophet .
