Luke 20:12 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:12

And again he sent the third
Perhaps after the return of the Jews from captivity, and between that time and the coming of Christ, in which interval many good men were used in a very inhuman manner, ( Hebrews 11:37 Hebrews 11:38 )

and they wounded him also;
by casting stones at him; see ( Mark 12:4 )

and cast him out;
of the vineyard.

10 And at the right time he sent a servant to the workers to get part of the fruit from the vines; but the workmen gave him blows and sent him away with nothing.

11 And he sent another servant, and they gave blows to him in the same way, and put shame on him, and sent him away with nothing.

12 And he sent a third, and they gave him wounds and put him out.

13 And the lord of the garden said, What am I to do? I will send my dearly loved son; they may give respect to him.

14 But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.
