Contextual Overview

9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time. 10 When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed. 11 So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out. 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son; perhaps they will respect him.' 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir; let's kill him so the inheritance will be ours!' 15 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 destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "May this never happen!" 17 But Jesus looked straight at them and said, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘ The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone '? 18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls will be crushed."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And again he sent the third,.... Perhaps after the return of the Jews from captivity, and between that time and the coming of Christ, in which interval many good men were used in a very inhuman manner, Hebrews 11:37

and they wounded him also; by casting stones at him; see

Mark 12:4

and cast him out; of the vineyard.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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