13. “The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What will I do now? I will send my son. I love my son very much. Maybe the farmers will respect my son.’
14. When the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the owner’s son. This vineyard will be his. If we kill him, it will be ours.’
15. So the farmers threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him. “What will the owner of the vineyard do?
16. He will come and kill those farmers. Then he will lease the land to some other farmers.” When the people heard this story, they said, “This should never happen!”
17. But Jesus looked into their eyes and said, “Then what does this verse mean: ‘The stone that the builders refused to accept became the cornerstone’? Psalm 118:22
18. Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken. If that stone falls on you, it will crush you!”
