New International Reader's Version

Luke 20:15-18 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. So they threw him out of the vineyard. And they killed him. "What will the owner of the vineyard do to the renters?

16. He will come and kill them. He will give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "We hope this never happens!"

17. Jesus looked right at them and said, "Here is something I want you to explain the meaning of. It is written, " 'The stone the builders didn't accept has become the most important stone of all.' (Psalm 118:22)

18. Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But the stone will crush anyone it falls on."
