WEBVTT 00:07.940 --> 00:11.360 There was once a man who planted a vineyard, 00:11.610 --> 00:13.810 rented it out to tenants, 00:14.020 --> 00:16.110 and then left home for a long time. 00:17.820 --> 00:20.690 When the time came to gather the grapes, 00:20.900 --> 00:23.090 he sent a slave to the tenants, 00:23.400 --> 00:26.610 to receive from them his share of the harvest. 00:26.980 --> 00:30.100 But the tenants beat the slave and sent him back without a thing. 00:30.440 --> 00:31.940 So he sent another slave... 00:32.520 --> 00:37.650 ...but the tenants beat him too, treated him shamefully, and sent him back without a thing. 00:38.320 --> 00:44.220 Then he sent a third slave. But the tenants wounded him too, and threw him out. 00:44.300 --> 00:50.970 Then the owner of the vineyard said to himself, "What shall I do? I will send my own dear son." 00:51.150 --> 00:54.150 "Surely they will respect him." 00:54.430 --> 00:57.770 But when the tenants saw him coming, they said to one another, 00:58.050 --> 01:00.020 "This is the owner's son. 01:00.220 --> 01:03.650 Let's kill him and his property will be ours." 01:04.440 --> 01:06.070 Tell us more, Lord! 01:06.350 --> 01:08.730 So they threw him out of the vineyard, 01:08.900 --> 01:11.940 and killed him. 01:12.070 --> 01:16.360 What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants? 01:16.590 --> 01:21.070 He will come and kill those men and give the vineyard over to other tenants. 01:22.770 --> 01:25.690 What, then, does this Scripture mean? 01:25.900 --> 01:29.060 "The stone which the builders rejected as worthless, 01:29.400 --> 01:32.560 turned out to be the most important of all." 01:32.730 --> 01:36.980 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. 01:37.150 --> 01:40.070 And if that stone falls on someone, 01:40.260 --> 01:42.440 it will crush him to dust.
