The Gospel of Luke, conceived 98

In those days, when Jesus had entered into the temple, he began to cast out those who were selling in it and those who were buying, saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves. And he taught every day in church. And the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, sought to destroy him, and found not what to do with him; for all the people listened unceasingly to Him.

The Gospel of Luke, conceived 100

The Lord said this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and gave it to the tenants, and went away for a long time; and in due time he sent a servant to the tenants to give him fruit from the vineyard; but the tenants, having nailed him, sent him away empty-handed. And he sent another servant; but they killed him and cursed him, and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent a third; but they wounded him and drove him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will be ashamed. But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, "This is the heir; Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance shall be ours. And they brought him out of the vineyard and killed him. What will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others. And those who heard it said, Let it not be! But he looked at them, and said, What is the meaning of this writing, that the stone which the builders rejected became the head of the corner? Whoever falls on that stone will be broken, and whoever it falls on will be crushed.
