Mateo 21:39 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:39

And they caught him
Seized and laid hold of him, in a rude and violent manner, as they had some of the servants before. This regards their apprehending of Christ in the garden, by a band of soldiers and officers, sent by the chief priests and Pharisees, who with swords and staves took him, bound him, and led him away:

and cast him out of the vineyard;
which is not to be understood of their casting him out of the synagogue, which is never said of them; nor does it so much relate to the leading of him without the gates of Jerusalem, where they crucified him, though this is a sense not to be despised and rejected; but rather, to the delivery of him to those, that were without the vineyard of the Jewish church and nation, to the Gentiles; to be mocked, scourged, and put to death by them:

and slew him:
for though the sentence of death was pronounced on him by Pilate, an Heathen governor, and was executed by the Roman soldiers; yet it was through the instigation and at the pressing importunity of these husbandmen, the Jewish rulers; and who were afterwards frequently charged by the apostles with the murder of him.

Mateo 21:39 In-Context

37 »Finalmente, el dueño envió a su propio hijo porque pensó: “Sin duda, respetarán a mi hijo”.

38 »Sin embargo, cuando los agricultores vieron que venía el hijo, se dijeron unos a otros: “Aquí viene el heredero de esta propiedad. Vamos, matémoslo y nos quedaremos con la propiedad”.

39 Entonces lo agarraron, lo arrastraron fuera del viñedo y lo asesinaron.

40 Jesús preguntó:

41 Los líderes religiosos contestaron:
—A los hombres malvados les dará una muerte horrible y alquilará el viñedo a otros que le darán su porción después de cada cosecha.
