40:021:032 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness,
and ye
believed
him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed
him:
and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward,
that
ye
might believe him.
40:021:033 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:
40:021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near,
he sent his servants
to
the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits
of it.
40:021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and
beat one, and killed
another,
and stoned another.
40:021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than
the first: and they
did
unto them likewise.
40:021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son,
saying, They will
reverence
my son.
40:021:038 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.
40:021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of
the vineyard, and
slew
him.
40:021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard
cometh, what will he
do
unto those husbandmen?
40:021:041 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.
40:021:042 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?
40:021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of
God shall be taken
from
you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.
40:021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone
shall be broken: but on
whomsoever
it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
40:021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees
had heard his
parables,
they perceived that he spake of them.
40:021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him,
they feared the
multitude,
because they took him for a prophet.
40:022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them
again by parables, and
said,
40:022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain
king, which made
a
marriage for his son,
40:022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them
that were bidden to
the
wedding: and they would not come.
