Luke 20    And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country for a long while.  [10] When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.  [11] And he sent another servant; him also they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.  [12] And he sent yet a third; this one they wounded and cast out.  [13] Then the owner of the vineyard said, `What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.'  [14] But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'  [15] And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?  [16] He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "God forbid!"  [17] But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner'? [18] Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one it will crush him."  [19]  The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people; for they perceived that he had told this parable against them.

Luke.19  1-10
[1]  He entered Jericho and was passing through.  [2] And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.  [3] And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.  [4] So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.  [5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."  [6] So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.  [7] And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."  [8] And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."  [9] And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.  [10] For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."
