“Here is the heir: come! let's kill him! " 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Matthew (21, 33-43. 45-46) 

At that time, Jesus was saying to the high priests and the elders of the people, “Hear this parable: A man was the owner of an estate; he planted a vineyard, surrounded it with a fence, dug a wine press and built a watchtower. Then he rented this vineyard to wine growers, and went on a journey. When the time for fruit came, he sent his servants to the tenants to receive the produce of his vineyard. But the tenants seized the servants, struck one, killed the other, and stoned the third. Again the owner sent more servants than the first; but they were treated the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them, saying to himself, “They will respect my son.” But seeing the son, the vine growers said to each other: “This is the heir: come! let's kill him, we will have his inheritance! ” They grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Well ! when the master of the vineyard comes, what will he do to these winegrowers? He is answered: "These wretches, he will destroy them miserably." He will rent the vineyard to other winegrowers, who will give him the product in due course. "Jesus said to them:" Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone: this is the work of the Lord, the wonder before our eyes! So I say to you: The kingdom of God will be taken from you to be given to a nation that will cause it to bear fruit. " he will destroy them miserably. He will rent the vineyard to other winegrowers, who will give him the product in due course. "Jesus said to them:" Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone: this is the work of the Lord, the wonder before our eyes! So I say to you: The kingdom of God will be taken from you to be given to a nation that will cause it to bear fruit. " he will destroy them miserably. He will rent the vineyard to other winegrowers, who will give him the product in due course. "Jesus said to them:" Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone: this is the work of the Lord, the wonder before our eyes! So I say to you: The kingdom of God will be taken from you to be given to a nation that will cause it to bear fruit. " The kingdom of God will be taken from you to be given to a nation that will cause it to bear fruit. " The kingdom of God will be taken from you to be given to a nation that will cause it to bear fruit. "

Hearing the parables of Jesus, the high priests and the Pharisees clearly understood that he was talking about them. As they tried to stop him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they thought he was a prophet.
