Matthieu 21:45 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:45

And when the chief priests and Pharisees
Which latter, though not before mentioned, were many of them of the grand sanhedrim, as well as the chief priests, scribes, and elders: "had heard his parables"; that of the two sons being sent into the vineyard, and that of the letting out the vineyard to husbandmen,

they perceived that he spake of them:
they plainly saw that they were designed by the son, that promised to go into the vineyard, but did not; only talked of works, but did not do them: and that they were the husbandmen that acted the ungrateful part to the householder, and the cruel one to his servants, and would to his son, their own consciences told them they were the men. They knew that the whole was levelled against them, and designed for them, and exactly hit their case.

Matthieu 21:45 In-Context

43 C'est pourquoi je vous dis que le royaume de Dieu vous sera ôté, et qu'il sera donné à une nation qui en rendra les fruits.

44 Celui qui tombera sur cette pierre sera brisé; et celui sur qui elle tombera, elle l'écrasera.

45 Et quand les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens eurent entendu ces paraboles, ils reconnurent qu'il parlait d'eux;

46 Et ils cherchaient à se saisir de lui; mais ils craignirent le peuple, parce qu'il regardait Jésus comme un prophète.
