Matthew 21:36 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 21:36

34 Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit.

35 ^aAnd the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.

36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.

37 Then last of all he sent his ^ason to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ^a‘This is the heir. ^bCome, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’

39 ^aSo they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
