37 But laste of all, he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying: they wyll stande in awe of my sonne. 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. 39 And they caught hym, and thrust him out of the vineyarde, and slewe hym . 40 When the Lorde therfore of the vineyarde commeth, what wyll he do vnto those husbande men? 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. 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. 43 Therefore saye I vnto you, the kyngdome of God shalbe taken from you, & geuen to a nation bryngyng foorth the fruites therof. 44 And whosoeuer falleth on this stone, shalbe broken in peeces: but on whomsoeuer it falleth, it shal all to grynd him. 45 And when the chiefe priestes and pharisees had heard his parables, they perceaued that he spake of them. 46 And they went about to laye handes on hym, but they feared the multitudes, because they toke him as a prophet.
