40. "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"
41. "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they replied, "and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time."
42. Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures:"'The stone the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone;the Lord has done this,and it is marvelous in our eyes' ?
