Contextual Overview

9 Then began hee to speake to the people this parable: A certaine man planted a vineyard, and let it foorth to husbandmen, and went into a farre countrey for a long time. 10 And at the season, hee sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruit of the vineyard, but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away emptie. 11 And againe hee sent another seruant, and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away emptie. 12 And againe he sent the third, and they wounded him also, & cast him out. 13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be they will reuerence him when they see him. 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselues, saying, This is ye heire, come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard doe vnto them? 16 Hee shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall giue the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 17 And hee beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders reiected, the same is become the head of the corner? 18 Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to powder.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And again he sent another servant,.... Or set of prophets in after times, and yet before the Babylonish captivity:

and they beat him also; as they had done the other; they continued in their malpractices, yea increased in them:

and entreated him shamefully; putting him to open shame, using him in a very ignominious and shameful manner, which it was a shame to relate, and which was shameful for them to do:

and sent him away empty; as they had done the other.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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