The
Parables of JESUS
The
Vineyard and Husbandman
(Parable
of the Tenants)
Matthew 21: 33-46 / Mark 12:
1-13 / Luke 20: 9-27
****
Matthew 21: 33-46
21:33 Hear another
parable:
There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard,
and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower,
and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near,
he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of
it.
21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one,
and killed another, and stoned another.
21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first:
and they did unto them likewise.
21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,
They will reverence my son.
21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves,
This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the
vineyard, and slew him.
21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what
will he do unto those husbandmen?
21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men,
and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen,
which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
21:42 Jesus saith unto them,
Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
corner:
this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
21:43 Therefore say I unto you,
The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth
the fruits thereof.
21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken:
but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables,
they perceived that he spake of them.
21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him,
they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Mark 12:
1-13
12:1 And he began to
speak unto them by parables.
A certain man planted a vineyard,
and set an hedge about it,
and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower,
and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant,
that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant;
and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away
shamefully handled.
12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others;
beating some, and killing some.
12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto
them, saying,
They will reverence my son.
12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves,
This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do?
he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
12:10 And have ye not read this scripture;
The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people:
for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them:
and they left him, and went their way.
12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians,
to catch him in his words.
Luke 20: 9-27
20:9 Then began he to speak
to the people this parable;
A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth
to husbandmen,
and went into a far country for a long time.
20:10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen,
that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard:
but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
20:11 And again he sent another servant:
and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him
out.
20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do?
I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
20:14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying,
This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
20:16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to
others.
And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
20:17 And he beheld them, and said,
What is this then that is written,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
corner?
20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken;
but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on
him;
and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable
against them.
20:20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign
themselves just men,
that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto
the power and authority
of the governor.
20:21 And they asked him, saying,
Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly,
neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why
tempt ye me?
20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and
superscription hath it?
They answered and said, Caesar's.
20:25 And he said unto them,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be
Caesar's,
and unto God the things which be God's.
20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people:
and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
20:27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any
resurrection;
and they asked him,
