Matthew 21:33-41

Parable of the Vine‑Growers

33 “Listen to another parable. ^aThere was a ¹landowner who ^bplanted a ^cvineyard and put a ²wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to ³vine-growers and ^dwent on a journey. 34 Now when the ¹harvest time approached, he ^asent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his fruit. 35 And the vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third. 36 Again he ^asent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them. 37 But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 Therefore when the ¹owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?” 41 They *said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and ^awill rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”

Matthew 23:31-37

31 So you bear witness against yourselves, that you ^aare ¹sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You serpents, ^ayou brood of vipers, how ¹will you escape the ²sentence of ³^bhell?
34 “^aOn account of this, behold, ^bI am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will ^cflog in your synagogues, and ^dpersecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous ^aAbel to the blood of Zechariah, the ^bson of Berechiah, whom ^cyou murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon ^athis generation.

Lament over Jerusalem

37 “^aJerusalem, Jerusalem, who ^bkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, ^cthe way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you did not want it.

Luke 13:33

33 Nevertheless ^aI must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not possible that a ^bprophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.
