Luke 20:9-18

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 20:9-12

The parable of the wicked husbandmen: v. 9. Then began He to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. v. 10. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. v. 11. And again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 20:13-18

The climax of the story and its application: v. 13. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will relevance him when they see him. v. 14. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. v. 15. So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? v. 16. He shall come and... read more

B. Controversial Discourses against His Enemies. Luke 20:01. The Closing Controversy with the Pharisees and the Chief of the People concerning the Authority of Jesus (Luke 20:1-19)(In part parallel with Matthew 21:23-27; Matthew 21:33-46; Mark 11:27-33; Mark 12:1-12.)1And it came to pass, that on one of those1 days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests [the priests2] and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2And spake unto him, saying, Tell us,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 20:9-19

Luke TENANTS WHO WANTED TO BE OWNERS Luk_20:9 - Luk_20:19 . As the crisis came near, Jesus increased His severity and plainness of speech. This parable, which was spoken very near the end of the protracted duel with the officials in the Temple, is transparent in its application, and hit its mark immediately. The rulers at once perceived that it was directed against them. The cap fitted too well not to be put on. But it contains prophecy as well as history, and the reference to Jesus’... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 20:9-18

“The Stone Which the Builders Rejected” Luke 20:9-18 The vineyard represents the privileges and blessings of the Hebrew race. The servants are evidently the prophets and others sent from God. Whatever our position in life, God expects a revenue from it. We are not owners, but tenants; not proprietors, but stewards. Are you sure that you are giving God the dues which He may justly claim? Notice how our Lord severs Himself from all human messengers, as the Son. When He said my beloved Son ,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 20:1-47

This chapter records the remarkable happenings gathered around our Lord's entrance into the Temple. By a parable He revealed the awful sin and failure of the Hebrew nation, culminating in His own rejection, showing, moreover, that that sin must result ultimately in the breaking into pieces of the sinning people. The closing conflicts between the rulers and Jesus constitute the saddest revelation of the depravity of the human heart. Jesus' teaching had driven them into a comer from which there... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 20:15

THE WICKED HUSBANDMEN‘What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?’ Luke 20:15 Notice— I. The vineyard. (a) Its owner (see Isaiah 5:7). (b) What the owner did with it (see Isaiah 5:1-Exodus :). II. The husbandmen. (a) Their privileges and how they used them. (b) Their rebellion and how it ended.The Jewish Church had served its end. The Jews thought it was to last for ever; but a great Church was to arise which should embrace all nations, Jews and Gentiles. And who was to be the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:1-47

Jesus Preaches In The Temple (19:47-21:38). Having driven the traders out of the Temple in His prophetic zeal Jesus then revealed the greatness of His great courage by returning daily to that same Temple in order to teach the people. As the traders, who would quickly have returned, watched with baleful eyes, and the Temple police stood by alert for trouble, Jesus boldly entered the Temple again, and ignoring both, proceeded to address the crowds gathered there. Indeed the great crowds that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:9

‘And he began to speak to the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.” ’ Jesus’ words are spoken to the people, but as ever among these were a number of antagonists, including chief priests and Scribes. The idea of Israel as a vineyard is found regularly in the Old Testament. In Isaiah 5:1-7 we have a similar opening to this, ‘My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill’ (Isaiah 5:1). And there the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:9-19

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants of a Vineyard (20:9-19). But Jesus did not leave it there, He riposted with a parable that connected His accusers with the slayers of the prophets, by this confirming their connection with others in the past who had been unable to recognise those who came from God, and at the same time remarkably laying down His claim to being the unique and only Son of God, thus answering their question about the source of His authority indirectly, which is one reason why in... read more
