Contextual Overview

1 And he began to discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance. 2 And at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard. 3 And they beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities. 5 And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed. 6 At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son. 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. 8 And they took him, and slew [fn] , and cast [fn] out of the vineyard. 9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and transfer the vineyard to others. 10 And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And again he sent another,.... That is, another servant, or set of men, it may be in the times of the Maccabees, who were used in a very inhuman manner; see Hebrews 11:37;

and him they killed; either with the sword, or by inflicting some capital punishment, as stoning, strangling, c.

and many others that is, either the owner of the vineyard sent many other servants, or the husbandmen ill used many others that were sent to them:

beating some; with their hands, or with scourges;

and killing some; in one or other of the above ways.
