- Matthew 21:41
“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”

“But if it was given, as the two other Evangelists agree in representing it, by our Lord Himself, and the explicitness of the answer would seem to favor that supposition, then we can better explain the exclamation of the Pharisees which followed it, in Luke's report (Lu 20:16) --‘And when they heard it, they said, God forbid’--His whole meaning now bursting upon them.”

“Like Caiaphas (John 11:49) so did they, not from themselves, prophesy against themselves, that the oracles of God were to he taken from them, and given to the Gentiles, who could bring forth fruit in due season.”
Origen of Alexandria · Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Mark 12:9
What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.
Commentary on Mark 12:92 voices
“The verses before us contain a historical parable. The history of the Jewish nation, from the day that Israel left Egypt down to the time of the destruction of Jerusalem, is here set before us as in a mirror. Under the figure of the vineyard and the husbandmen, the Lord Jesus tells the story of God's dealings with His people for fifteen hundred years. Let us study it attentively, and apply it to ourselves. Let us observe, in the first place, God's special kindness to the Jewish Church and nation . He gave to them peculiar privileges.”
J.C. Ryle · Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition), 1857
“What will the Lord of the vineyard do, therefore? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. The Lord himself explained this verse shortly afterward in Matthew, saying: Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God shall be taken …”
Bede · On the Gospel of MarkPatristic
- Luke 20:16
He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
Commentary on Luke 20:162 voices
“The parable we have now read, is one of the very few which are recorded more than once by the Gospel writers. Matthew, Mark, and Luke — all give it at full length. This three-fold repetition is alone sufficient to point out the importance of its contents. The parable, no doubt, was specially intended for the Jews to whom it was addressed. But we must not confine its application to them. It contains lessons which should be remembered in all churches of Christ, as long as the world stands.”
J.C. Ryle · Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition), 1858
“He shall come, &c.--This answer was given by the Pharisees themselves (Mt 21:41), thus pronouncing their own righteous doom. Matthew alone (Mt 21:43) gives the naked application, that ‘the kingdom of God should be taken from them, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof’--the great evangelical community of the faithful, chiefly Gentiles.”
