[27] And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
\n[28] And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
\n[29] And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
\n[30] The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
\n[31] And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
\n[32] But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
\n[33] And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
\n[1] And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
\n[2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
\n[3] And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
\n[4] And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
\n[5] And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
\n[6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
\n[7] But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
\n[8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
\n[9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
\n[10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
\n[11] This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
\n[12] And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
