Began he to speak parable, A certain man planted a vineyard and he [planted] it with the choicest vine. I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved, touching his vineyard. and my well-beloved hath digged a winepress therein the midst of [it] and also built a tower and a hedge about it, in [a] very fruitful hill and gathered out the stones thereof, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they might receive of the fruit of the vineyard. And the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent another servant and they shamefully sent him away. And again he sent, and they cast stones and wounded him and killed him. Last he sent his beloved son unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance be ours. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do unto them when he will come? And they say, Destroy those husbandmen and will give the vineyard unto others. And Jesus saith, Have ye not read scripture, 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? Whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests sought to lay hold on him for they perceived that he had spoken the parable against them, but they feared the people.
