Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 20:9-18

123. The wicked vineyard keepers (Matthew 21:33-46; Mark 12:1-12; Luke 20:9-18)This parable pictures Israel as a vineyard, God as the owner of the vineyard, and the Jewish religious leaders as the tenants who looked after it.

Luke 20:13. It may be they will— Numberless predictions in the Old and New Testament, as well as the nature of Deity, plainly shew that the Divine Nature foresaw Christ's death as a certain event: this therefore like many others is merely an ornamental circumstance, which cannot, without absurdity, be applied in the interpretation of the parable. The reader will refer to Matthew 21:33; Matthew 21:46. read more
