Context — The Parable of the Wicked Tenantsgenerated
Matthew 21:35 describes how the tenants of a vineyard mistreated the servants sent by the landowner to collect his share of the harvest. This parable serves as a metaphor for Israel's rejection of the prophets and ultimately of Jesus himself, reflecting a broader theme of accountability and judgment found throughout the Scriptures. The preceding verses set the stage for this narrative by illustrating the landowner's patience and the tenants' increasing violence, culminating in their treatment of the owner's son in subsequent verses.

The Key Word — δοῦλος (II), doulosgenerated
The word δοῦλος (doulos) means 'servant' or 'slave' and indicates a person in a position of subjection or service. In this context, it refers to the servants sent by the landowner, representing the prophets sent by God.
This term carries significant weight in the New Testament, often highlighting the relationship between God and His messengers. The use of δοῦλος emphasizes the authority of the landowner and the disrespect shown by the tenants.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, the verse is primarily examined through the lens of the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses the term servants. Other translations, such as the ASV, KJV, and WEB, also use servants, maintaining consistency in this key term.
However, the NET Bible opts for slaves, which introduces a different nuance regarding the status of these individuals. The translations diverge further in their rendering of the verbs, with some choosing to emphasize the action more vividly than others.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of a main clause governed by the verb λαβόντες (having taken), which introduces the actions of the tenants. The structure includes a series of actions performed on the servants, each connected by conjunctions.
The actions are sequentially detailed: they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third, illustrating the escalating violence of the tenants. This structure highlights the tenants' rejection of the authority of the landowner, mirroring Israel's rejection of God's messengers.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The term δοῦλος has a parallel in the Septuagint, where it is used to translate the Hebrew word for 'slave' or 'servant' (עֶ֫בֶד, ebed), indicating a similar concept of subjugation and service. This connection underscores the longstanding biblical theme of servitude and obedience to God's will.
The actions described in this verse resonate with various Old Testament narratives where servants or prophets face rejection or violence, reinforcing the continuity of this theme throughout Scripture.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Matthew 21:35 tells us that the tenants of a vineyard violently attacked the servants sent by the landowner. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. This parable illustrates how Israel rejected the prophets God sent to them, culminating in the rejection of Jesus.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
The parable illustrates the consequences of rejecting God's messengers and highlights the accountability of those who are entrusted with His message.
The tenants' actions reflect a rejection of authority and a desire to keep the fruit of the vineyard for themselves, symbolizing Israel's rejection of God's prophets.
This parable foreshadows the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus, who is the ultimate messenger sent by God.
We should be mindful of how we respond to God's teachings and messengers in our lives, ensuring that we do not reject or ignore their guidance.

The language of our Lord in Matthew 23:30; Matthew 23:34, not less than that of Heb 11:37, implies that the prophets, as a class, had no light or easy task, and were called upon, one by one, to suffer persecution for the faithful exercise of their office.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

λαμβάνω (lambanō) means both 'to take' and 'to receive,' covering a wide range of applications from literal actions like grasping or seizing to more abstract uses such as accepting ideas or concepts. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts involving physical actions (e.g., taking bread in Mt 26:26) or receiving something (e.g., receiving a message in Jn 6:21). The lexicons note that the word can also imply a sense of violence or urgency in some contexts.

Counted over the 650 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The Greek word γεωργός (georgos) means 'husbandman' or 'farmer,' derived from roots meaning 'earth' and 'to work.' It is used in the New Testament to refer to a land-worker or vine-dresser, appearing in passages like 2 Timothy 2:6 and James 5:7. The term has a broad application, including various types of agricultural workers, and is noted for its historical usage in both classical and biblical texts.

[in LXX for אִכָּר, etc.;]
a husbandman: II Ti 2:6, Ja 5:7.

Theaet. p. 178 d.; al.]) in Mt. xxi. 33 sqq.; Mk. xii. 1 sq. 7,9; Lk. xx. 9 sq. 14, 16; Jn. xv. 1.

δοῦλος (doulos) means a slave or servant, often indicating a person in a state of subjection. It can refer to both male and female slaves, with δούλη (doulē) specifically denoting a female slave. The term is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including literal servitude and metaphorical senses of spiritual bondage, as seen in Romans 6:19 and John 8:34.
THE only passage in the N. T. in which θεράπων occurs is Heb. iii. 5: ‘‘ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant” (ὡς θεράπων). The allusion here to Num. xii. 7 is manifest, where the Septuagint has given θεράπων as its rendering of 12; it has done the same elsewhere (Exod. iv. 10; Deut. iii. 24; Josh. i. 2), yet has not made this its constant rule, frequently rendering it not by θεράπων, but by δοῦλος, out of which latter rendering, no doubt, we have at Rev. xv. 8, the phrase, Μωῦσῆς ὃ δοῦλος τοῦ Θεοῦ. It will 1 Lampe: ‘Christus est Vitis vera, ... et qua talis preponi, quin et opponi, potest omnibus aliis qui etiam sub hoe symbolo in scriptis propheticis pinguntur.’ Six) SYNONYUS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. 20 not follow that there is no difference between δοῦλος and θεράπων ; nor yet that there may not be occasions when the one word would be far more fitly employed…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word μέν is a particle that typically indicates a contrast with a following clause, often paired with δέ. It can express certainty or affirmation, but is frequently left untranslated. In the New Testament, it appears in various constructions, such as ὁ μὲν ... ὁ δέ (the one ... the other) and τοῦτο μὲν ... τοῦτο δέ (partly ... partly). Its usage is less common than in classical Greek.
μέν,
conjunctive particle (originally a form of μήν), usually related to a following δέ or other adversative conjunction, and distinguishing the word or clause with which it stands from that which follows.
It is generally untranslatable and is not nearly so frequent in NT as in cl. Like δέ, it never stands first in a clause.
μέν, a weakened form of μήν, and hence properly a particle of affirmation: truly, certainly, surely, indeed, —its affirmative force being weakened, yet retained most in Ionic, Epic, and Herodotus, and not wholly lost in Attic and Hellenistic writers (μέν ‘confirmative’; ef. 4 Mace. xviii. 18). Owing to this its original meaning it adds a certain force to the terms and phrases with which it is connected, and thus contrasts them with or distinguishes ther. from others. Accordingly it takes on the character of a concessive and very often of a merely distinctive particle, which stands related to a following δέ or other adversative conjunction, either expressed or understood, and in a sentence composed of several members is so placed as to point out the first member, to which a second, marked by an adversative particle, is added or opposed. It corresponds to the Lat. quidem, indeed, Germ.…

The combination μὲν οὖν in narrative, summing up what precedes, or introducing what follows (Ac 18, 9%, αἰ. : cf. Blass Gr. p. 273), is seen in such passages as P Petr II. 13 (19) (mid. iii/B.c.)

μέν,
Particle, used partly to express certainty on the part of the speaker or writer; partly, and more commonly, to point out that the word or clause with which it stands is correlative to another word or clause that is to follow, the latter word or clause being introduced by δέ.

δέρω (derō) means to skin or flay, often used in a metaphorical sense to mean to beat or thrash. It appears in various New Testament passages, including Matthew 21:35 and Mark 12:3. The word has roots in both physical and figurative contexts, with some lexicons noting its colloquial use to mean 'thrash.' There is a slight variation in how some lexicons interpret its metaphorical applications.
δέρω; 1 aor. ἔδειμα : 2 fut. pass. δαρήσομαι; 1. to flay, skin: Hom. II. 1,459; 23, 167, ete. 2. to beat, thrash, smite, (cf. Germ. durchgerben, [low Eng. hide]), so sometimes in prof. auth. fr. Arstph. ran. 619 [ef. vesp. 485] down: τινά, Mt. xxi. 35; Mk. xii. 3,5; Lk. xx. 10 sq-; xxii. 63; Jn. xviii. 23; Acts v. 40; xvi. 37; xxii. 19; εἰς πρόσωπον δέρειν τινά, 2 Co. xi. 20; ἀέρα δέρειν (see ἀήρ), 1 Co. ix. 26; Pass.: Mk. xiii. 9; Lk. xii. 47 (δαρήσεται πολλάς, sc. πληγάς, will be beaten with many stripes) ; 48, (ὀλίγας, cf.

δέρω. P Oxy III. 653 (4) (before Ap. 161) shows us this word in its colloquial sense—first found in Aristophanes—of SObeatecn ‘‘thrash” instead of ‘‘flay.” In the account of a trial regarding a mortgage upon the property of Voltimus which had been seized by the creditor, Sempronius Orestinus, the Praefect informs the latter that unless he makes restitution - οὐ μόνον κατακριθήσει ἀλλὰ Kal δαρήσίει. So in Sy// 7379 (c.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent.

It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ἀποκτείνω (i.e., *apokteino*) means 'to kill' or 'to put to death.' It is derived from the prefix ἀπό (meaning 'away') and the root κτείνω (to slay). The term appears in various contexts, including literal killing and metaphorical uses, such as spiritual condemnation (e.g., Romans 7:11). It is noted for its frequent occurrence in the New Testament.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

λιθοβολέω is built from λίθος (stone) and βάλλω (to throw). It means to pelt with stones or to kill by stoning, appearing in several New Testament passages such as Matthew 21:35 and Acts 7:58. The term is noted for its rarity outside Biblical contexts.
λιθο-βολέω, -ὦ ; impf. 3 pers. plur. ἐλιθοβόλουν; 1 aor. ἐλιθοβόλησα ; Pass., pres. λιθοβολοῦμαι ; 1 fut. λιθοβοληθήσομαι ; (λιθοβόλος, and this fr. λίθος and βάλλω [cf. W. 102 (96); 25, 26]); Sept. for 279 and 039; i. g. λιθάζω (q- v-), to stone; i. 6. a. to kill by stoning, to stone (of a species of punishment, see λιθάζω) : τινά, Mt. xxi. 355; xxill. 37; Lk. xiii. 34; Acts vii. 58 sq.; pass., Jn. viii. 5; ΗΘ. xii. 20. b. to pelt with stones: τινά, Mk. xii. 4 [Rec.]; Acts xiv.5. ([Diod. 17, 41, 8]; Plut. mor. p. 1011 e.)
λιθοβολέω. With this compound, which is rare outside Biblical Greek (cf. Anz Suébsidia, p. 366), we may compare λιθοκοπέω (not found in LS), for which Mayser (G7. p. 461) cites P Vat F?° (Mai V. 356) (B.c. 157), 2d. E?® (Mai V. 354), although in both places Mai reads λιθοκοπετέω.
