THE MASTER-TEACHER AT WORK

a. They were trying to trap Him.
b. They asked questions but not to seek answers.

3. He told this Parable that revealed the religious leaders for what they are.

THE PARABLE OF THE WICKED VINEDRESSERS

“Then He began to tell the people this parable: ‘A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out. ‘Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’ But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.’ And when they heard it they said, ‘Certainly not!’”

凶恶园户的比喻

“耶稣就设比喻对百姓说:“有人栽了一个葡萄园,租给园户,就往外国去住了许久。到了时候,打发一个仆人到园户那里去,叫他们把园中当纳的果子交给他。园户竟打了他,叫他空手回去。又打发一个仆人去,他们也打了他,并且凌辱他,叫他空手回去。又打发第三个仆人去,他们也打伤了他,把他推出去了。园主说:‘我怎么办呢?我要打发我的爱子去,或者他们尊敬他。’不料园户看见他,就彼此商量说:‘这是承受产业的。我们杀他吧,使产业归于我们!’于是把他推出葡萄园外杀了。这样,葡萄园的主人要怎样处治他们呢?他要来除灭这些园户,将葡萄园转给别人。”听见的人说:“这是万不可的!””
