The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers

1 Then aHe began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to1 vinedressers and went into a far country.  
2 Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers.
3 And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Again he sent them another servant,1 and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.  
5 And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, abeating some and killing some.  
6 Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 But those vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’  
8 So they took him and akilled him and cast him out of the vineyard.  
9 “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.
10 Have you not even read this Scripture:
a‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
