Matthew 21:40

40 cum ergo venerit dominus vineae quid faciet agricolis illis

Matthew 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.

38 agricolae autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se hic est heres venite occidamus eum et habebimus hereditatem eius

39 et adprehensum eum eiecerunt extra vineam et occiderunt

40 cum ergo venerit dominus vineae quid faciet agricolis illis

41 aiunt illi malos male perdet et vineam locabit aliis agricolis qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis

42 dicit illis Iesus numquam legistis in scripturis lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli a Domino factum est istud et est mirabile in oculis nostris
