Luke 20:16 - Barnes' Notes

Luke 20:16

14 But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the ^aheir. Come, ^blet us kill him, that the inheritance may be ^cours.’

15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and ^akilled him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16 He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to ^aothers.” And when they heard it they said, “Certainly not!”

17 Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
^a‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone’?

18 Whoever falls on that stone will be ^abroken; but ^bon whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

19 And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they¹ feared the people —for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.
