Luke 19
41And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,
42saying, "Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side
44and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,
46saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."
47And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him,
48but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.
Luke 20
1One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up
2and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority."
3He answered them, "I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,
4Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?"
5And they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."
7So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
8And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
9And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.
10When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.
13Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'
14But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.'
15And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "Surely not!"
17But he looked directly at them and said, "What then is this that is written: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him."
