Contextual Overview

1Jesus began to speak to them [the chief priests, scribes and elders who were questioning Him] in parables: "A man PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT, AND DUG A PIT FOR THE WINE PRESS AND BUILT A TOWER; and he rented it out to tenant farmers and left the country. 2"When the harvest season came he sent a servant to the tenants, in order to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3"They took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4"Again he sent them another servant, and they [threw stones and] wounded him in the head, and treated him disgracefully. 5"And he sent another, and that one they killed; then many others—some they beat and some they killed. 6"He still had one man left to send, a beloved son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' 7"But those tenants said to each other, 'This man is the heir! Come on, let us kill him [and destroy the evidence], and his inheritance will be ours!' 8"So they took him and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard. 9"What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and will give the vineyard to others. 10"Have you not even read this Scripture: 'THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REGARDED AS UNWORTHY and REJECTED, THIS [very stone] HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes. That is, the exaltation of the Messiah, after he had been so ill treated, and at last put to death by the Jews. These words are a continuation of the passage cited out of Psalms 118:22.
