Luke 20:9-20

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants
And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while. When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the   of the vineyard. But the tenants   him and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him  , and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and  . Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved  ; perhaps they will   him.' But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.' And they threw him out of the vineyard and   him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to  ." When they heard this, they said, "Surely not!" But he looked directly at them and said, "What then is this that is written: 'The stone that the builders   has become the  '? Everyone who falls on that stone will be   to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will   him." The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the  . So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
