Matthew 21:33

Listen to another parable. This also scolds the Jewish leaders for their unbelief. There was a landowner. God. The details of the parable show how he had worked with Israel. Who planted a vineyard. He placed Israel in the rich land of Palestine. Put a fence around it. The Law which preserved the identity of Israel. Dug a hole for the winepress. Two tub-shaped holes. Grapes were put in the higher one, crushed by walking on them with bare feet, the juice then running out a hole in the side into the lower of the two holes. The winepress is used to harvest the grapes. Built a watchtower. Where guards could keep out intruders. Then he rented the vineyard. The Jewish leaders are the tenants. Left home on a trip. God gave Israel time, to see what they Would do with his blessings.
