PARABLE 11 OF 22
The Wicked Tenants
Mattityahu 21:33–46
PARABLE · TO THE LEADERS
Tenants beat the landowner's servants and finally murder his son to seize the inheritance.
The vineyard is Israel; the servants are the prophets; the son is Yeshua Himself, telling His killers what they are about to do. He quotes Psalm 118 — the rejected stone has become the cornerstone. The leaders heard the parable and recognised themselves. They tried to arrest Him anyway.
