JESUS GIVES THE THIRD GREAT GROUP OF PARABLES.
(In the Court of the Temple. Tuesday, April 4, A. D. 30.)
Subdivision C
PARABLE OF THE WICKED HUSBANDMEN
MATT. 21:33-46
MARK 12:1-12
LUKE 20:9-19
Summary: A man establishes a house, vineyard, press, wall, and tower. He leases the land to tenants and goes to another country. When it was time for the harvest, he sent his servant to collect due fruit. The tenants beat the servants. He sent more and they beat them too. Then the owner sent his son, and they plotted to kill him so that they could gain his inheritance. So, Jesus says that the kingdom will be taken away from them and given to another and references that the "stone the builder has rejected has become the capstone" (Ps 118:22).
"Mankind mistakes the patience of God for impotence." -Courson
"Jesus frequently refers to this withdrawal of the visible presence of God from the world, always bringing out the point that the withdrawal tests faithfulness." -Fourfold
Oh! for grace to be always aware of the leaven of the Scribes and Pharisees, which the Son of God himself declares to be hypocrisy. Luk_12:1.-Hawker
"In thus bringing the story down to the immediate present, and stating a counsel which his enemies had just spoken privately in each other's ears, Jesus must have startled them greatly. He showed 189 them, too, that those things which made them deem it necessary to kill him were the very things which proved his heirship. They regarded the Jewish nation as their property, and they were plotting to kill Jesus that they might withhold it from him." -Fourfold
