Luke 20:15

So they cast him out of the vineyard

the Prince of life, the Lord of glory, and heir of all things; see ( Acts 2:23 Acts 2:36 ) ( 3:15 ) ( 5:30 ) ( 10:39 )

what therefore shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them?
the husbandmen, the chief priests, elders, Scribes, and Pharisees; at whose solicitations the life of his Son, and heir, was taken away; by which he must be greatly provoked and incensed.
