The Parable of the Tenants

1 ¹And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted ²a vineyard ³and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and ⁴leased it to tenants and ⁵went into another country.

2 When the season came, he sent a servant^a to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

3 ⁶And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

4 ⁷Again ⁸he sent to them another servant, and ⁹they struck him on the head and ¹⁰treated him shamefully.

5 ¹¹And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed.

6 He had still one other, ¹²a beloved son. ¹³Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son. ’

7 But those tenants said to one another, ¹⁴‘This is the heir. Come, ¹⁵let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. ’

8 And they took him and killed him and ¹⁶threw him out of the vineyard.

9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? ¹⁷He will ¹⁸come and destroy the tenants and ¹⁹give the vineyard to others.

10 ²⁰Have you not read ²¹this Scripture: ²²“‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; ^b

11 this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? ”

12 And ²³they were seeking to arrest him ²⁴but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they ²⁵left him and went away.
