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.
