Reference: Matt. 21:33-44

Matthew 21:33: Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Matthew 21:34: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Matthew 21:35: And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Matthew 21:36: Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Matthew 21:37: But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Matthew 21:38: But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Matthew 21:39: And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Matthew 21:40: When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Matthew 21:41: They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Matthew 21:42: Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Matthew 21:43: Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Matthew 21:44: And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
