21:33 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"Listen R1070 to another parable. There R1071 was a landowner F449 who PLANTED R1072 A VINEYARD R1073 AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers F450 and went R1074 on a journey.
21:34 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"When R1075 the harvest F451 time approached, he sent R1076 his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.
21:35 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"The R1077 vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.
21:36 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"Again R1078 he sent R1079 another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.
21:37 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"But R1080 afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
21:38 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"But R1081 when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'
21:39 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"They R1082 took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
21:40 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"Therefore R1083 when the owner F452 of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?"
21:41 - [In Context |Original Greek ]They *said to Him, "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will R1084 rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the {proper} seasons."
21:42 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Jesus *said to them, "Did R1085 you never read in the Scriptures, 'THE R1086 STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS R1087 BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER {stone;} R1088 THIS R1089 CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND R1090 IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?
21:43 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"Therefore R1091 I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, F453 producing the fruit of it.
