Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not read this scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone: 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? 12 They sought to arrest him, but feared the crowd, for they knew he had spoken the parable against them.

Why, when I looked for it to bring forth grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? 5 And now, I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down: 6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor dug; but briers and thorns shall come up: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but behold, oppression; for righteousness, but behold, a cry.
