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, quando os lavradores viram o filho, disseram uns aos outros: ‘Este é o herdeiro. Venham, vamos matá-lo e tomar a sua herança’.

39 Assim eles o agarraram, lançaram-no para fora da vinha e o mataram.

40 “Portanto, quando vier o dono da vinha, o que fará àqueles lavradores?”

41 Responderam eles: “Matará de modo horrível esses perversos e arrendará a vinha a outros lavradores, que lhe deem a sua parte no tempo da colheita”.

42 Jesus lhes disse: “Vocês nunca leram isto nas Escrituras?“ ‘A pedra que os construtores rejeitaramtornou-se a pedra angular;isso vem do Senhor,e é algo maravilhoso para nós’.
