Luke 20:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Luke 20:10

8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers

9 Then He began to tell the people this parable: ^a“A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to¹ vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

10 Now at vintage-time he ^asent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

11 Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

12 And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.

13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’

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!”
