Matthew 21:33-46
"Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, `They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.' And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons." Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it." When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.

An estorya dinhi sa susambingany ni Jesus kuman, mahitungod sa isa ka biyahedor na agalon na nagsalig sa mga saup nija na tagtuohan na dili moluib dija.
Pag-abot nan adlaw na suk’ton na nija an ija kabahinan gikan sa mga saup, aja man hinoon pataja nila an ija mga sinugo hangtud na hasta an ija anak, na sa pagtuo nija dili un’hon kay anak man lagi nija, inlakip man ‘sab hinoon pagpatay.
Gusto lamang seguro ipasabot dato ni Jesus kon uno na klase an pagtratar ni God sa mga suwail sanan mga rebelde na mga tawo.
Arang ka duro na an tsansa na inhatag ni God para kita maka-reyalisar nan ato mga responsibilidad Dija sanan para nato kahinulsulan an ato mga kasay’anan batok Dija.
Sa ato adlaw-adlaw na mga kinabuhi, taning’kamutan ba nato na makahimo kita nan mga aksiyon para kan Lord para sa Ija kahimayaan na may paglaum sanan kompiyansa sa Ija kadaugan?

"Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which you have given us; for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us. O most merciful redeemer, friend, and brother, may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, for your own sake."
