THE MESSAGE
One day he was teaching the people in the Temple, proclaiming the Message. The high priests, religion scholars, and leaders confronted him and demanded, "Show us your credentials. Who authorized you to speak and act like this?" Jesus answered, "First, let me ask you a question: About the baptism of John—who authorized it, heaven or humans?" They were on the spot, and knew it. They pulled back into a huddle and whispered, "If we say ‘heaven,' he'll ask us why we didn't believe him; if we say ‘humans,' the people will tear us limb from limb, convinced as they are that John was God's prophet." They agreed to concede that round to Jesus and said they didn't know. Jesus said, "Then neither will I answer your question." Jesus told another story to the people: "A man planted a vineyard. He handed it over to farmhands and went off on a trip. He was gone a long time. In time he sent a servant back to the farmhands to collect the profits, but they beat him up and sent him off empty-handed. He decided to try again and sent another servant. That one they beat black-and-blue, and sent him off empty-handed. He tried a third time. They worked that servant over from head to foot and dumped him in the street. "Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘I know what I'll do: I'll send my beloved son. They're bound to respect my son.' "But when the farmhands saw him coming, they quickly put their heads together. ‘This is our chance—this is the heir! Let's kill him and have it all to ourselves.' They killed him and threw him over the fence. "What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? Right. He'll come and clean house. Then he'll assign the care of the vineyard to others." Those who were listening said, "Oh, no! He'd never do that!"

Contextual Overview
9Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time [to another country]. 10"At harvest time he sent a servant [as his representative] to the tenants, so that they would give him his share of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed. 11"So he again sent another servant; they also beat him and dishonored and treated him disgracefully and sent him away empty-handed. 12"And he sent yet a third; and this one too they wounded and threw out [of the vineyard]. 13"Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will have respect for him.' 14"But when the tenants saw him, they discussed it among themselves, saying, 'This [man] is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.' 15"So they threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16"He will come and put these tenants to death and will give the vineyard to others." When the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders heard this, they said, "May it never be!"17But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is [the meaning of] this that is written: 'THE [very] STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE'? 18"Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken and shattered in pieces; and on whomever it falls, it will crush him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He shall come and destroy these husbandmen,.... Which had its accomplishment at the destruction of Jerusalem: according to the other evangelists, these words are the answer of the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, to the above questions put to them by Christ, after he had delivered the parable; but here they seem to be the words of Christ, who also said the same, and confirmed what they had observed, and could not but own, that it was just and right, and what might be expected, with what follows:
and shall give the vineyard to others; the land of Judea to the Romans in particular, and the church state, with the Gospel and ordinances of it, to the Gentiles in general, sometimes called "others"; :- and
:-.
and when they heard it, they said, God forbid; though they were their own words, yet repeated and confirmed by Christ, and perceiving that they were the persons intended, deprecate the fulfilment of them; at least so far as they understood they related to the killing of the Messiah, and to the destruction of their nation, city, and temple.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this parable explained in the notes at Matthew 21:33-45.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 20:16. God forbid. — Or, Let it not be, μηγενοιτο. Our phrase, God forbid, answers pretty well to the meaning of the Greek, but it is no translation.
