*
But when the tenants saw the son ,
they said to themselves , `
This is the heir ;
come ,
let us kill him and have his inheritance .'
*
And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard ,
and killed him .
*
When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes ,
what will he do to those tenants ?"
*
They said to him , "
He will put those wretches to a miserable death ,
and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons ."
*
Jesus said to them , "
Have you never read in the scriptures : `
The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner ;
this was the Lord '
s doing ,
and it is marvelous in our eyes '?
*
Therefore I tell you ,
the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it ."
*
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables ,
they perceived that he was speaking about them .
*
But when they tried to arrest him ,
they feared the multitudes ,
because they held him to be a prophet .
