Matthew 21:37-41 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

37. So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38. But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’

39. And they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40. Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?”

41. They said to him, “He will destroy those evil men completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season.”
