Matthew 21v37-41

Heavenly father
give us grace today to respect Jesus

³⁷ Last of all, he sent his son to them. “They will respect my son,” he said.
³⁸ ‘But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, “This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.” 
³⁹ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
⁴⁰ ‘Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’
⁴¹ ‘He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,’ they replied, 
‘and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.’
