Contextual Overview

1 Jesus then told them this story: A farmer once planted a vineyard. He built a wall around it and dug a pit to crush the grapes in. He also built a lookout tower. Then he rented out his vineyard and left the country. 2 When it was harvest time, he sent a servant to get his share of the grapes. 3 The renters grabbed the servant. They beat him up and sent him away without a thing. 4 The owner sent another servant, but the renters beat him on the head and insulted him terribly. 5 Then the man sent another servant, and they killed him. He kept sending servant after servant. They beat some of them and killed others. 6 The owner had a son he loved very much. Finally, he sent his son to the renters because he thought they would respect him. 7 But they said to themselves, "Someday he will own this vineyard. Let's kill him! That way we can have it all for ourselves." 8 So they grabbed the owner's son and killed him. Then they threw his body out of the vineyard. 9 Jesus asked, "What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? He will come and kill those renters and let someone else have his vineyard. 10 You surely know that the Scriptures say, ‘The stone that the builders tossed aside is now the most important stone of all.

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.
