Contextual Overview
9 But He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard and leased it to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time. 10 "At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him his share of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 "And he proceeded to send another slave; but they beat him also and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 "And he proceeded to send a third; but this one too they wounded and threw out. 13 "Now the owner of the vineyard said, 'What am I to do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'14 "But when the vine-growers saw him, they discussed with one another, saying, 'This is the heir; let's kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.' 15 "And so they threw him 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 vine-growers to death, and will give the vineyard to others." However, when they heard this, they said, "May it never happen!" 17 But Jesus looked at them and said, "Then what is this statement that has been written: 'A STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE'? 18 "Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will crush him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said the Lord of the vineyard,.... Who planted it, and let it out to husbandmen, and expected fruit from it, and sent his servants from time to time for it:
what shall I do? or what can be done more than has been done? Isaiah 5:4 who else can be sent that is likely to do any good with such an ungrateful and unfruitful people?
I will send my beloved Son; the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who lay in his bosom, was the darling of his soul, and the delight of his heart; him he determined to send, and him he did send to the lost sheep of the house of Israel:
it may be they will reverence him, when they see him: it might be thought after the manner of men, that considering the greatness of his person, as the Son of God, the nature of his office, as the Redeemer and Saviour of men, the doctrines which he preached, the miracles which he wrought, and the holiness and harmlessness of his conversation, and the great good he did both to the bodies and souls of men, that he would have been had in great esteem and veneration with the men, to whom he was sent, and among whom he conversed: but, alas! when they saw him, they saw no beauty, comeliness, and excellency in him, and nothing on account of which he should be desired by them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
