Luke 20:13-16 Part 2 of 3

" 'What will I do?' the owner asked himself. 'I know! I'll send my cherished son. Surely they will respect him.' But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they said to each other, 'Here comes the heir to this estate. Let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!' So they dragged him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What do  you suppose the owner of the vineyard will do to them?" Jesus asked. "I'll tell you--he will come and kill those farmers and lease the vineyard to others."  "How terrible that such a thing should ever happen," his listeners protested.

"But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they said to each other, 'Here comes the heir to this estate. Let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!' "

Matthew 21:38  "But when the tenant farmers saw his son coming, they said to one another, 'Here comes the heir to this estate. Come on, let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!' " (see also Mark 12:7)

Hebrews 1:1-2  Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.

John 1:10-12  He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (see verses 1-18)

Romans 8:17  And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. (see verses 9-17)

1 Kings 21:13-16  Then the two scoundrels came and sat down across from him (Naboth). And they accused Naboth before all the people, saying, "He cursed God and the king." So he was dragged outside the town and stoned to death. The town leaders then sent word to Jezebel, "Naboth has been stoned to death." When Jezebel heard the news, she said to Ahab, "You know the vineyard Naboth wouldn't sell you? Well, you can have it now! He's dead!" So Ahab immediately went down to the vineyard of Naboth to claim it. (see verses 1-19; according to non-Israelite law and custom at that time, the king may confiscate the property of an executed criminal. See note on 1 Kings 21:15, ESV Study Bible)
