Luke 20:13-16 Part 3 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.

"So they dragged him out of the vineyard and murdered him."

But many Israelites--those for whom the Kingdom was prepared--will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (see verses 5-13)

Acts 13:46-47  Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared, "It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles. For the Lord gave us this command when he said, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.' (Isaiah 49:6)" (see verses 13-52)
