Contextual Overview

9Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time [to another country]. 10"At harvest time he sent a servant [as his representative] to the tenants, so that they would give him his share of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed. 11"So he again sent another servant; they also beat him and dishonored and treated him disgracefully and sent him away empty-handed. 12"And he sent yet a third; and this one too they wounded and threw out [of the vineyard]. 13"Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will have respect for him.' 14"But when the tenants saw him, they discussed it among themselves, saying, 'This [man] is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.' 15"So they threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?16"He will come and put these tenants to death and will give the vineyard to others." When the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders heard this, they said, "May it never be!" 17But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is [the meaning of] this that is written: 'THE [very] STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE'? 18"Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken and shattered in pieces; and on whomever it falls, it will crush him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So they cast him out of the vineyard,.... Rejected him as the Messiah, even denied that he was of the Jewish nation; said he was a Samaritan, and delivered him to the Gentiles that were without, and were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; and at last had him without their city, and put him to death, as follows:

and killed him; the Prince of life, the Lord of glory, and heir of all things; see Acts 2:23

what therefore shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them? the husbandmen, the chief priests, elders, Scribes, and Pharisees; at whose solicitations the life of his Son, and heir, was taken away; by which he must be greatly provoked and incensed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this parable explained in the notes at Matthew 21:33-45.
