Luke 20:9-19

Revised Standard Version RSV

9 And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country for a long while.

10 When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him some of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

11 And he sent another servant; him also they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

12 And he sent yet a third; this one they wounded and cast out.

13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.'

14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

15 And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16 He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "God forbid!"

17 But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner'?

18 Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one it will crush him."

19 The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people; for they perceived that he had told this parable against them.

New International Version NIV

9 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time.

10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed.

12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.

13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’

14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. “What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.”When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”

17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
