[21:33] “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.
[21:34] When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit.
[21:35] And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
[21:36] Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.
[21:37] Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
[21:38] But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’
[21:39] And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
[21:40] When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
[21:41] 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.”
[21:42] Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
[21:43] Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.
[21:44] And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
[21:45] When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.
[21:46] And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.
