Context

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

¹¹So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.¹²Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

Summary

In this parable shared by Jesus, the owner of a vineyard sends several servants to collect fruit from the tenants, but they are mistreated and sent away empty-handed. Finally, the owner sends his beloved son, thinking they will respect him, but the tenants conspire to kill him in order to claim his inheritance. This story foreshadows the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus by the religious leaders of that time, illustrating the hardness of their hearts and their refusal to acknowledge Him as the Son of God. It serves as a warning against rejecting God's messengers and His ultimate message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

But when the husbandmen saw him,.... In human nature, heard him preach, and observed the miracles done by him: they reasoned among themselves; as the Scribes and Pharisees, and elders of the people often did: saying, this is the heir; the heir of God, being his Son; and so the Ethiopic version; "this Son is his heir", or the heir of the vineyard; being, by appointment, heir of all things, and by his descent from David heir to the kingdom of Israel; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. The Arabic and Persic versions render it, "and his inheritance shall be ours": the nation, city, temple, and all the emoluments and benefits thereof. The word "come" is left out in the Alexandrian copy, and in the Gothic and Vulgate Latin versions.
