Matthew 21:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 They said unto him, He will [a]cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall deliver him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus said unto them, Read ye never in the Scriptures, (A)The stone which the [b]builders refused, the same is [c]made the [d]head of the corner? [e]This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
