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
9 And He began to speak this parable to the people: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to vinedressers. And he left the country for long periods of time . Isa. 5:1, 2 10 And in season, he sent a slave to the vinedressers, that they might give him the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers sent him away empty, beating him . 11 And he again sent another slave. But they also sent that one away empty, beating and insulting him . 12 And he again sent a third. But they also threw this one out, wounding him . 13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps, having seen this one, they will respect him . 14 And having seen him, the vinedressers reasoned with themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come let us kill him so that the inheritance may become ours. 15 And throwing him out of the vineyard, they killed him . Therefore, what will the lord of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and will destroy these vinedressers and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing this, they said, Let it not be! 17 And looking at them He said, What then is this which has been written, "The stone that the builders rejected, this one came to be for the Head of the Corner"? Psa. 118:22 18 Everyone falling on that Stone will be broken in pieces but 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.
