Contextual Overview

1And He began to speak to them in allegories: "A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad; 2and he sent to the farmers at the due time a servant, that from the farmers he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard, 3and they, having taken him, severely beat [him], and sent him away empty.4And again he sent to them another servant, and having cast stones at that one, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away—dishonored. 5And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing. 6Having yet therefore one son—his beloved—he also sent him to them last, saying, They will respect my son; 7and those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and the inheritance will be ours; 8and having taken him, they killed, and cast [him] forth outside the vineyard. 9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. 10And this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they caught him,.... This clause is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions, though it seems proper to be retained; and denotes the rudeness and violence with which the prophets of the Lord were used by the Jewish nation:

and beat him: either with their fists, or with rods, and scourges, till the skin was flayed off:

and sent him away empty; without any fruit to carry with him, or give an account of, to the owner of the vineyard.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
