Contextual Overview

1 And He began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard, and set a fence around it ," and dug a winevat, "and built a tower." And he rented it to vinedressers and went away. Isa. 5:1, 2 2 And at the season, he sent a slave to the vinedressers, that he might receive from the vinedressers the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But taking him, they beat him , and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent to them another slave; stoning that one, they struck him in the head and sent him away, insulting him. 5 And again, he sent another, and they killed that one; also many others, indeed beating these, and killing these. 6 Yet having one son, his own beloved, then he sent him to them also, last of all , saying, They will have respect for my son. 7 But these vinedressers said to themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours. 8 And taking him , they killed him and threw him outside the vineyard. 9 What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and will destroy the vinedressers and will give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture: The "Stone which the builders rejected, this One came to be Head of the Corner;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved,.... The Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the one, and only Son of God his Father, his only begotten Son, for he has no other Son in the same way of filiation; and who is his dear Son, the Son of his love, who was loved by him before the foundation of the world; and whom he declared to be his beloved Son, both at his baptism, and at his transfiguration upon the mount, by a voice from heaven: this Son he having with him, in his bosom, as one brought up with him, and rejoicing before him,

he sent him also last unto them; after all the prophets had been with them, when the last days were come, the end of the Jewish state, civil and ecclesiastical; see Hebrews 1:1;

saying, they will reverence my son. The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read, "perhaps they will reverence my son", as in Luke 20:13;

Luke 20:13- :.
