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.

12 "And he proceeded to send a third; and this one also they wounded and cast out.

13 "The owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'
