¹ Jesus began to use stories to teach the people. He said, "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it and dug a hole for a winepress and built a tower. Then he leased the land to some farmers and left for a trip. ² When it was time for the grapes to be picked, he sent a servant to the farmers to get his share of the grapes. ³ But the farmers grabbed the servant and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. ⁴ Then the man sent another servant. They hit him on the head and showed no respect for him. ⁵ So the man sent another servant, whom they killed. The man sent many other servants; the farmers beat some of them and killed others. ⁶ "The man had one person left to send, his son whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.' ⁷ "But the farmers said to each other, ‘This son will inherit the vineyard. If we kill him, it will be ours.' ⁸ So they took the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. ⁹ "So what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those farmers and will give the vineyard to other farmers. ¹⁰ Surely you have read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone.

Numbers 23:23, Habakkuk 1:5, Acts 2:12, Acts 2:32-36, Acts 3:12-16, Acts 13:40, Acts 13:41, Ephesians 3:8-11, Colossians 1:27, 1 Timothy 3:16

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.
