Our
Messiah's Parables
Householder / Vineyard Owner
| Matthew 21:33
- 46 |
| 33
"Now listen to another parable. There was a
farmer who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the
winepress and built a tower; then he rented it to tenants and left.
34
When harvest-time came, he sent his servants to the
tenants to collect his share of the crop.
35
But the tenants seized his servants -- this one they
beat up, that one they killed, another they stoned.
36
So he sent some other servants, more than the first
group, and they did the same to them.
37
Finally, he sent them his son, saying, `My son they
will respect.'
38
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each
other, `This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his
inheritance!'
39
So they grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard
and killed him.
40
Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will
he do to those tenants?"
41
They answered him, "He will viciously destroy those vicious men and
rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the
crop when it's due."
42
Yeshua said to them, "Haven't you ever read in
the Tanakh, `The very rock which the builders rejected has become the
cornerstone! This has come from ADONAI, and in our eyes it is
amazing'?
43
Therefore, I tell you that the Kingdom of God will
be taken away from you and given to the kind of people that will produce
its fruit!"
44:
Whoever falls on this stone will be broken in
pieces; but if it falls on him, he will be crushed to powder!"
45
As the head cohanim and the P'rushim listened to his stories, they saw
that he was speaking about them.
46
But when they set about to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds;
because the crowds considered him a prophet. |

Yeshua began speaking to them in parables. "A
man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine
press and built a tower; then he rented it to tenant-farmers and
left.
2
When harvest-time came, he sent a servant to the
tenants to collect his share of the crop from the vineyard.
3
But they took him, beat him up and sent him away
empty-handed.
4
So he sent another servant; this one they punched in
the head and insulted.
5
He sent another one, and him they killed; and so
with many others -- some they beat up, others they killed.
6
He had still one person left, a son whom he loved;
in the end, he sent him to them, saying, `My son they will respect.'
7
But the tenants said to each other, `This is the
heir. Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'
8
So they seized him, killed him and threw him out of
the vineyard.
9
What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will
come, destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others!
10
Haven't you read the passage in the Tanakh that
says, `The very rock which the builders rejected has become the
cornerstone!
11
This has come from ADONAI, and in our eyes it is
amazing'?"
12
They set about to arrest him, for they recognized that he had told the
parable with reference to themselves. But they were afraid of the crowd,
so they left him and went away.

Next Yeshua told the people this parable: "A
man planted a vineyard, rented it to tenant-farmers and went away for a
long time.
10
When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants
to receive his share of the crop from the vineyard; but the tenants beat
him up and sent him away empty-handed.
11
He sent another servant; they beat him too, insulted
him and sent him away empty-handed.
12
He sent yet a third; this one they wounded and threw
out.
13
"Then the owner of the vineyard said, `What am
I to do? I will send my son, whom I love; maybe they will respect
him.'
14
But when the tenants saw him, they discussed it
among themselves and said, `This is the heir; let's kill him, so that the
inheritance will be ours!'
15
And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed
him. "Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16
He will come and put an end to those tenants and
give the vineyard to others!" When the people heard this, they
said, "Heaven forbid!"
17
But Yeshua looked searchingly at them and said, "Then
what is this which is written in the Tanakh, `The very rock which the
builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
18
Whoever falls on that stone will be broken in
pieces; but if it falls on him, he will be crushed to powder!"
