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.

Luke 20:12 In-Context

10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.

11 And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also and, treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.

12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast him out.

13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.

14 Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
