Contextual Overview
9 Then Jesus told the people this story: "A man planted a vineyard. He leased the land to some farmers. Then he went away for a long time. 10 Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent a servant to those farmers so that they would give him his share of the grapes. But they beat the servant and sent him away with nothing. 11 So the man sent another servant. They beat this servant too and showed no respect for him. They sent the servant away with nothing. 12 So the man sent a third servant to the farmers. They hurt this servant badly and threw him out. 13 "The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What will I do now? I will send my son. I love my son very much. Maybe the farmers will respect my son.' 14 When the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the owner's son. This vineyard will be his. If we kill him, it will be ours.' 15 So the farmers threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the owner of the vineyard do? 16 He will come and kill those farmers. Then he will lease the land to some other farmers." When the people heard this story, they said, "This should never happen!" 17 But Jesus looked into their eyes and said, "Then what does this verse mean: ‘The stone that the builders refused to accept became the cornerstone'? 18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken. If that stone falls on you, it will crush you!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he beheld them,.... Looked very earnestly and wistly at them, speaking as it were by his looks, signifying, that verily so it would be, as he had said; that they would reject the Messiah, and put him to death, and bring utter ruin upon themselves, and deprive their posterity of many advantages and privileges:
and said, what is this then that is written; that is, what else is the meaning of such a Scripture? is not the sense of that perfectly agreeable to what has been said, that the Messiah shall be rejected by the principal men among the Jews in church and state, and yet he shall be exalted, who will then take vengeance on them?
the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? The passage is in Psalms 118:22.
