33 Hearken another similitude. There was a certayne man, an householder, which made a vineyarde, & hedged it rounde about, and made a wynepresse in it, and buylt a towre, and let it out to husbande men: and went into a strange countrey. “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.
34 And when the time of the fruite drewe neare, he sent his seruauntes to the husbande men, that they might receaue the fruites of it. When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 And the husbande men caught his seruauntes, and beatte one, killed another, and stoned another. And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Agayne, he sent other seruauntes, mo then the first: and they dyd vnto them lykewyse. Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.
37 But laste of all, he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying: they wyll stande in awe of my sonne. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 But when the husband men sawe the sonne, they sayde among them selues: this is the heire, come, let vs kyll hym, and let vs enioy his inheritaunce. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’
39 And they caught hym, and thrust him out of the vineyarde, and slewe hym . And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 When the Lorde therfore of the vineyarde commeth, what wyll he do vnto those husbande men? When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 They sayde vnto hym: He wyll miserably destroy those wicked men & wyll let out his vineyard vnto other husband men, which shall delyuer him the fruite in due seasons. They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
42 Iesus sayth vnto them. Did ye neuer reade in the Scriptures: The stone which the buylders refused, the same is become the head of the corner. This is the Lordes doing, and it is marueylous in our eyes. Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “’The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore saye I vnto you, the kyngdome of God shalbe taken from you, & geuen to a nation bryngyng foorth the fruites therof. Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
44 And whosoeuer falleth on this stone, shalbe broken in peeces: but on whomsoeuer it falleth, it shal all to grynd him. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
45 And when the chiefe priestes and pharisees had heard his parables, they perceaued that he spake of them. When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them.
46 And they went about to laye handes on hym, but they feared the multitudes, because they toke him as a prophet. And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet. They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.
