Contextual Overview

⁹ And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: - A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time. ¹⁰ And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty. ¹¹ And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty. ¹² And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out. ¹³ And the lord of the vineyard said - What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, - It may be, that, him, they will respect. ¹⁴ But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying - This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance. ¹⁵ And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them? ¹⁶ He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said - Far be it! ¹⁷ But, he, looking at them, said - What, then, is this that is written, - A stone which the builders' rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner? ¹⁸ Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said the Lord of the vineyard,.... Who planted it, and let it out to husbandmen, and expected fruit from it, and sent his servants from time to time for it:

what shall I do? or what can be done more than has been done? Isaiah 5:4 who else can be sent that is likely to do any good with such an ungrateful and unfruitful people?

I will send my beloved Son; the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who lay in his bosom, was the darling of his soul, and the delight of his heart; him he determined to send, and him he did send to the lost sheep of the house of Israel:

it may be they will reverence him, when they see him: it might be thought after the manner of men, that considering the greatness of his person, as the Son of God, the nature of his office, as the Redeemer and Saviour of men, the doctrines which he preached, the miracles which he wrought, and the holiness and harmlessness of his conversation, and the great good he did both to the bodies and souls of men, that he would have been had in great esteem and veneration with the men, to whom he was sent, and among whom he conversed: but, alas! when they saw him, they saw no beauty, comeliness, and excellency in him, and nothing on account of which he should be desired by them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
