6. He had one other to send, a beloved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’
7. But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8. So they seized him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9. What [then] will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, put the tenants to death, and give the vineyard to others.
10. Have you not read this scripture passage:‘The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone;
11. by the Lord has this been done,and it is wonderful in our eyes’?”
12. They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd, for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. So they left him and went away.
13. They sent some Pharisees and Herodians to him to ensnare him in his speech.
14. They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion.

20. Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants.
21. So the second married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise.
22. And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died.
23. At the resurrection [when they arise] whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her.”
24. Jesus said to them, “Are you not misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?
