MATTHEW 21:28-46
21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, 
and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I 
go, sir: and went not.
21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The 
first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the 
harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him 
not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen 
it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
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:
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.
21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, 
and stoned another.
21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them 
likewise.
21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my 
son.
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.
21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto 
those husbandmen?
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.
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?
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.
21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever 
it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they 
perceived that he spake of them.
21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, 
because they took him for a prophet.
