He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And he came to the other, and said the same thing. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>"Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to tenant farmers, and went on a journey. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his fruit. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>The tenants took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>But the tenants, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and have his inheritance.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>They told him, "He will utterly destroy those evil men, and will lease out the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him the fruit in its season."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>"Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it will fall, it will crush him."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/matthew/21-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>When they sought to seize him, they feared the crowds, because they considered him to be a prophet.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
