Contextual Overview

1 Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad. 2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes. 3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully. 5 Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others. 6 He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "`They will treat my son with respect.' 7 "But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "`Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.' 8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard. 9 What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others." 10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "`The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they caught him,.... This clause is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions, though it seems proper to be retained; and denotes the rudeness and violence with which the prophets of the Lord were used by the Jewish nation:

and beat him: either with their fists, or with rods, and scourges, till the skin was flayed off:

and sent him away empty; without any fruit to carry with him, or give an account of, to the owner of the vineyard.
