wmth Luke:20:9-19
wmth@Luke:20:9 @ Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. »There was a man,« He said, »who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
wmth@Luke:20:10 @ At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
wmth@Luke:20:11 @ Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
wmth@Luke:20:12 @ Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
wmth@Luke:20:13 @ Then the owner of the vineyard said, »`What am I to do? I will send my son–my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'
wmth@Luke:20:14 @ »But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said,« `This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
wmth@Luke:20:15 @ »So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?«
wmth@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others.« »God forbid!« exclaimed the hearers.
wmth@Luke:20:17 @ He looked at them and said, »What then does that mean which is written,
wmth@Luke:20:18 @ Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed.«
wmth@Luke:20:19 @ At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.
