The Parable of the Tenants
21:33“Listen to another parable: There was a landowner52 who planted a vineyard.53 He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Then54 he leased it to tenant farmers55 and went on a journey.
Footnotes
- 52 The term here refers to the owner and manager of a household.
- 53 The vineyard is a figure for Israel in the OT (Isa 5:1–7). The nation and its leaders are the tenants, so the vineyard here may well refer to the promise that resides within the nation. The imagery is like that in Rom 11:11–24.
- 54 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
- 55 The leasing of land to tenant farmers was common in this period.
