Contextual Overview

⁹ Now Jesus turned to the people again and told them this story: "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and moved to another country to live for several years. ¹⁰ At the time of the grape harvest, he sent one of his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers attacked the servant, beat him up, and sent him back empty-handed. ¹¹ So the owner sent another servant, but they also insulted him, beat him up, and sent him away empty-handed. ¹² A third man was sent, and they wounded him and chased him away. ¹³ "‘What will I do?' the owner asked himself. ‘I know! I'll send my cherished son. Surely they will respect him.' ¹⁴ "But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they said to each other, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!' ¹⁵ So they dragged him out of the vineyard and murdered him. "What do you suppose the owner of the vineyard will do to them?" Jesus asked. ¹⁶ "I'll tell you—he will come and kill those farmers and lease the vineyard to others." "How terrible that such a thing should ever happen," his listeners protested. ¹⁷ Jesus looked at them and said, "Then what does this Scripture mean? ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.' ¹⁸ Everyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on."

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.
