MATTHEW 21:37 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.”
Finally he sent his son to them, saying: they will respect my son. The father's final decision — sending the son — communicates both the escalation of the appeal and the father's hope that the son's status will produce the respect that the servants' status did not. The they will respect my son is the father's hope; the tenants' response will reveal whether the hope is realized.
Church Fathers on Matthew 21:37
