Matthew 21: 33-43 - 'This is the landlord's heir: come, let us kill him.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 755-756 (in 'Symbols of the Church') - "The Church is a cultivated field, the tillage of God. On that land the ancient olive tree grows whose holy roots were the prophets and in which the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles has been brought about and will be brought about again. That land, like a choice vineyard, has been planted by the heavenly cultivator. Yet the true vine is Christ who gives life and fruitfulness to the branches, that is, to us, who through the Church remain in Christ, without whom we can do nothing. "Often, too, the Church is called the building of God. the Lord compared himself to the stone which the builders rejected, but which was made into the comer-stone. On this foundation the Church is built by the apostles and from it the Church receives solidity and unity. This edifice has many names to describe it: the house of God in which his family dwells; the household of God in the Spirit; the dwelling-place of God among men; and, especially, the holy temple. This temple, symbolized in places of worship built out of stone, is praised by the Fathers and, not without reason, is compared in the liturgy to the Holy City, the New Jerusalem. As living stones we here on earth are built into it. It is this holy city that is seen by John as it comes down out of heaven from God when the world is made anew, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband."

- 443 (in 'The Only Son of God') - Peter could recognize the transcendent character of the Messiah's divine sonship because Jesus had clearly allowed it to be so understood. To his accusers' question before the Sanhedrin, "Are you the Son of God, then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am." Well before this, Jesus referred to himself as "the Son" who knows the Father, as distinct from the "servants" God had earlier sent to his people; he is superior even to the angels (abbreviated).

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. And today we're looking at a really interesting parable
0:16.7	that brings to life a lot of different aspects of the Old Testament and of the New Testament.
0:23.1	It's a really cool parable to do an exegesis on, so we're going to get straight into it today.
0:27.9	Matthew chapter 21, verses 33 to 46.
0:33.4	Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people,
0:37.2	Listen to another parable.
0:39.5	There was a man, a landowner who planted a vineyard. He fenced it around, dug a wine press in it,
0:46.2	and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went abroad. When vintage time drew near,
0:53.8	he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce.
0:57.4	But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another, and stoned a third. Next, he sent
1:04.9	some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them. They will
1:14.2	respect my son, he said. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, this is the heir.
1:22.0	Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance. So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
1:29.5	Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?
1:36.2	They answered, he will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants
1:43.6	who will deliver the produce to him
1:45.9	when the season arrives.
1:48.7	Jesus said to them, have you never read the scriptures?
1:52.7	It was the stone rejected by the builders that became the keystone.
1:56.8	This was the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful to see.
2:01.6	I tell you then that the kingdom of God will be taken from you
2:05.2	and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
