MATTHEW 21:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.”
And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. The tenants' treatment of the servants — beating, killing, stoning — is the history of Israel's treatment of the prophets. Matthew 23:37 will address Jerusalem's killing of the prophets directly. The pattern of rejection is consistent: the messengers who call for the covenant's fruit are mistreated.
Church Fathers on Matthew 21:35
aug ht him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
