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 When the time came to gather the grapes, he sent a slave to the tenants to receive from them his share of the harvest. But the tenants beat the slave and sent him back without a thing.

11 So he sent another slave; but the tenants beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him back without a thing.

12 Then he sent a third slave; the tenants wounded him, too, and threw him out.

13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, "What shall I do? I will send my own dear son; surely they will respect him!'

14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to one another, "This is the owner's son. Let's kill him, and his property will be ours!'
