39. And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40. When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?
41. They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil men, and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42. Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
43. Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
