Luke 20:9 ESV

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.

Luke 20:10 ESV

When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Luke 20:11 ESV

And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

Luke 20:12 ESV

And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.

Luke 20:13 ESV

Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’

Luke 20:14 ESV

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.’

Luke 20:15 ESV

And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

Luke 20:16 ESV

He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”

Luke 20:17 ESV

But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

Luke 20:18 ESV

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
