10 When the time came, he sent a servant[a] to the tenants, so that (A)they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. (B)But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 (C)And (D)he sent another servant. But they also beat and (E)treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 (F)And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out. 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my (G)beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, (H)‘This is the heir. (I)Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ 15 And they (J)threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 (K)He will (L)come and destroy those tenants and (M)give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But he (N)looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
18 (P)Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls (Q)on anyone, it will crush him.”

10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love;(A) perhaps they will respect him.’
14 “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants(B) and give the vineyard to others.”
When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”
17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”(D)
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him(E) immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.(F)

14 But they would not listen, (E)but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the Lord their God. 15 They despised his statutes (F)and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after (G)false idols (H)and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the (I)Lord had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16 And they abandoned all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made for themselves metal images of (J)two calves; and they (K)made an Asherah and (L)worshiped all the host of heaven and served (M)Baal. 17 (N)And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings[a] and used (O)divination and (P)omens and (Q)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. None was left but (R)the tribe of Judah only.
19 (S)Judah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. 20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them (T)and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
21 (U)When he had torn Israel from the house of David, (V)they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord (W)and made them commit great sin. 22 The people of Israel walked in all the sins that Jeroboam did. They did not depart from them, 23 until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, (X)as he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. (Y)So Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day.

13 The Lord warned(A) Israel and Judah through all his prophets and seers:(B) “Turn from your evil ways.(C) Observe my commands and decrees, in accordance with the entire Law that I commanded your ancestors to obey and that I delivered to you through my servants the prophets.”(D)
14 But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked(E) as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God. 15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant(F) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols(G) and themselves became worthless.(H) They imitated the nations(I) around them although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”
16 They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves,(J) and an Asherah(K) pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts,(L) and they worshiped Baal.(M) 17 They sacrificed(N) their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sought omens(O) and sold(P) themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.
18 So the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from his presence.(Q) Only the tribe of Judah was left, 19 and even Judah did not keep the commands of the Lord their God. They followed the practices Israel had introduced.(R) 20 Therefore the Lord rejected all the people of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hands of plunderers,(S) until he thrust them from his presence.(T)
21 When he tore(U) Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat their king.(V) Jeroboam enticed Israel away from following the Lord and caused them to commit a great sin.(W) 22 The Israelites persisted in all the sins of Jeroboam and did not turn away from them 23 until the Lord removed them from his presence,(X) as he had warned(Y) through all his servants the prophets. So the people of Israel were taken from their homeland(Z) into exile in Assyria, and they are still there.
