Mateus 21:40 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:40

When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh
In a way of providence, to call these husbandmen to an account; not only for the fruit they were to bring to him; but for their barbarity to his servants, the prophets, time after time; and especially, for the inhuman usage and murder of his own son;

what will he do unto those husbandmen?
This question is put to the chief priests, elders, and Scribes: and they themselves, who are designed hereby, are made judges in this case, just as the inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah are, in ( Isaiah 5:4 ) which passage of Scripture our Lord had greatly in view when he spake this parable.

Mateus 21:40 In-Context

38 Mas os lavradores, vendo o filho, disseram entre si: Este é o herdeiro; vinde, matemo-lo, e apoderemo-nos da sua herança.
39 E, agarrando-o, lançaram-no fora da vinha e o mataram.
40 Quando, pois, vier o senhor da vinha, que fará �queles lavradores?
41 Responderam-lhe eles: Fará perecer miseravelmente a esses maus, e arrendará a vinha a outros lavradores, que a seu tempo lhe entreguem os frutos.
42 Disse-lhes Jesus: Nunca lestes nas Escrituras: A pedra que os edificadores rejeitaram, essa foi posta como pedra angular; pelo Senhor foi feito isso, e é maravilhoso aos nossos olhos?
