Two Parables of Judgment. --Matt.
21: 83-46.
Commentary. -L The vineyard. en-
trusted to tenants (v. 33.) 33, ,Another
parable -The parable of the two sons
had just been spoken. A certain house-
holder --The basis of this parable was
Most familiar to the people addressed.
Palestine was a land of vines ana all the
details of • this industry were welt
known to Christ's hearers. The house-
holder was the owner of the vineyard
and represented the Father. Planted a
vineyard -God has established a religi-
ous system providing laws, privileges and
blessings in confection with it. As. the
vineyard was expected to yield returns,
so the spiritual system that God had
inaugurated was expected to fulfil his
designs and the fruitful in righteousness.
Set a hedge about it (RR. V.) -To separ-
ate it from the property of others and
• keep out intruders. The Jews were a
separate and peculiar people. God's
kingdom is separated from the worldly
spirit. Digged a winepress -The' place
for pressing out the wine was dug out
of the ground and plastered over, or hol-
lowed out of the top of a rock. The
grapes were placed in this winepress and
men with bare feet trod upon them,
pressing out the juice, which ran into a
lower part of the excavation and was
drawn off into a prepared reservoir, or
cistern. The winepress stands for all the
provisions that God made for Israel that
they might accomplish the work which
he intended. A. tower -A. place for the
watchman who guarded the vineyard.
Jlusbandmen-=These represented the
leaders of the Jewish nation during the
successive ages. To us God commits cer-
tain trusts and intends that we shall
care for them sacredly, rendering to nim
proper returns for the same. Into a far
country -The responsibility of carrying
out their appointed mission was left
with them. - God. had given the Jews ex-
alted privileges and he left them to
avail themselves of them, rendering to
hila obedience, faith, devotion and love.
II. The fruits withheld (vs. 34-39.) 34.
The time of the fruit -As in the vine-
yard fruit was eonfidently expected, so,
of Israel end God's people generally the
fruits of faith and righteousness art
treaeonably looked for. Sent his ser-
vants -The prophets and teachers whom
God. raised up to instruct and direct Is-
rael. Receive the fruits -The husband -
men were to give over to the household.-
a'r, either a fixed sum yearly for the use
ofi the vineyard or a certain. share of the
erop. in this case it. appears that a por-
tion of the fruits belonged to the owner.
"Leeryy special eare to love and serve
God, every 'service at the church, every
providence of God, every voice of the
Holy Spirit, every season of revival, is a
servant whom God sends to us for the
fruits that are due him." --P. 35: Beat
one, and killed another, etc. -It is a ntl-
ticeable fact that many of the prophets
were ill-treated by the Jews. Among
then.may be named Moses, Elijah, 1'lli-
sha, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Zechariah. 30.
Other servants more than the first --In
this instance there w's mire dignity and
authority represented. here is proof of
the marvellous patience and forb emit'
of God. John the -Baptist may be includ-
ed in this number. Likewise.--Stil !the
claims of the householder were d'iere-
garded. The spirit of rebellion found its
manifestation in the rejcetioll or the
claims of the householder.
37. Last of all Ile sent unto them
His Son -This was the last and crown-
ing effort of divine mercy; after which,
on the one side, all the resources even
of heavenly love are exhausted, on the
other the measure et sins is perfectly
filled up. -Trench. The. Jewish leaders
could not fail to understand that Jesus
was laying claim. to the hiessiahship, and
that his rem u'1cs applied. forcefully to
them. 'Will reverence my son---A1-
though God knew the e uree that the
Jews would. purse" with reference to
His on, yet lie. lord a right to eigi"et
that they would honor Hine. "If a hu-
man householder would levee such an
expectation. 'ntuclt more God hes it rea-
son and a right to eepee, reveretnce. for
His Son."--Whedon, 33. This ie, the heir
-The husbandmen knew flint the Iast
Messenger was the householder's son,
and the Jewish leaders had ample op-
portunity to know that Jesus was the
Son of God, and their determination to
put him to death was reached alter
• they had seen unmistakable exhibitions
of
His Divine power in the raising of
Lazarus. Seize on His inheritance-

they might hold hack from IIim the na-
tion, which they regarded as their own
property.-Ifl. - Notes. They failed

ITT. The 'rejectors pnni'..ued (Vs. 40,
crucifixion of His Son at their hands
must bring dire punishment to them.
41. They say --The chief priests and
elders, who did not yet fully compre-
hend the application of the parable. He,
will miserably destroy those miserable
men (R, V.) -Their crimes called for
the infliction of the severest penalty.
The unjust Jewish leaders could see the
irhjuetice of the husbandmen in the par-
able. Other husbandmen-Since . • the
Jews had rejected Jesus the grace that
He brought especiallyto them would be
offered to the Gentile world.
1V. The stone rejected and honored
(vs. 42-46).
42. the scriptures -The reference is
to Psa. 118:22,233. The Jews applied
this psalm to the Messiah, and Peter
applied it to him in Acts 4:11 and 1 Pet.
2:7. the stone -The stone is the whole
kingdom and power of the Messiah sum-
med up in himself, -Alford. the build-
ers rejected -The figure is changed, but
the thought is the same. The huebaud-
rnen rejected the householder's son, and
the builders rejected the most important
stone in the structure. head of the cor-
ner -The corner -stone is the stone in the
foundation binding the two walls to-
gether. Christ holds the most important
place in the scheme of redemption. the
Lord's doing -Jesus applies this to him-
self. "It is one of the Lord's wonderful
ways of working, and will come to pass
because God rules and controls all
things."-Geikie.
43. the kingdom of God shall be tak-
en from you -The Jews by accepting
Christ might have been the people from
whom the blessings of the gospel might
have flowed to other nations, but their
rejection of Jesus resulted in God's re-
jection of them as a nation. given to a
nation, etc. -Those who accept Christ
and follow him. The Gentile world shall
enter upon the inheritance of the Jews.
44. fall on this stone -Whosoever
shall stumble over Christ as a stumbling
stone, because of his lowliness, shall suf-
fer injury, yet may recover. but on
whomsoever it shall fall -Those who
take a determined stand of opposition
to him shall suffer eternal loss. "The
former clause of the verse describes the
penal consequences of unbelief during
the day of probation (to those who
stumble over certain difficulties about
Christ), the latter, the punishment of
the finally impenitent." -Morison.
45. perceived that he spake of them -
Jesus intended that they should so un-
derstand him. IIis effort was to bring
them to a right view of his nature a,nd
work. 46. sought to lay hands on him
-They not only understood that lie
meant them, but were ready to go for-
ward with their rejection of him. feared
the multitude -They did not seem to
fear Jesus, but they did fear the multi-
tude. There were many present from
Galilee and other places who thought
favorably of Jesus and considered him
a prophet.
Questions. -Where and when were
these parables spoken? What is meant
by the 'householder? 13y the vineyard?
Who are represented by the husband=
men? Who are represented by the ser-
vants in the parable? Whom does the
son represent? What did the husband -
men. hope to gain by killing the son?
What is the principal teaching of the
parable of the vineyard? What does
the corner -stone represent in the lesson?
In what part of the lesson is the Jews'
hatred toward Jesus shown? To whom
is the kingdom of heaven offered? What
did the multitudes think of Jesus?

men" (v. 41.) if we disregard God's
claims upon us, and go about asserting
our independence of him, refusing to ren-
der to him the loving service of a holy
heart, which he demands of us, there is
nothing before' us but destruction and
banishment from his presence forever.
We may be offended in Christ, and later
recover from it, but if we continue to

should uxge us to render quickly to fixe
Master all that is due.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
The direct application. The parable ot
the vineyard was primarily intended to
strike home to the self-righteous chief
priests and Pharisees who made the ape
plication very readily. "'They perceived
that he spake of them" (v. 45.) The
l-raelitislh nation had had great priva-
!eges bestowed upon then and great
trust committed to them. "lf ye will
obey my voice .... ye shall be a pecu-
liar treasure unto Inc above all people"
(Exod. 19: 5.) God had chosen them,
had sent prophets to them, had made tu,
direct revelation of his will, and had
tenderly nurtured them. His efforts in
their behalf had many times been spurn.
ed. His warnings hail been disregarded
and his mercies trampled under foot.
Most aptly could, he ask respecting Itis
chosen people, "What enuld have been'
done more to my vineyard, that 1 have
not done in it?" (Ise.. 5: 4.) 'The course
of the Jewish people and God's dealings
tvith them form a true picture of the life
of many individuals with reference to
their relation to God.
Opportunities given. "het it out to
husbandmen" (v. :33.) Great interests
are committed to us, The householder
turned over to the husbandmen a vine-
yard well prepared and capable ot
yielding rict returns to the one 'tw'i't
would properly attend to it, and at the
same time there would he positive act-
vantage to the owner. • In like manner
God has endowed as with .powers ot
body and mind and n: srdritiml nature,
•so that we are cenahle of spiritual com-
fort and joy and the possession of true
satisfaction, and at the same time we
may render to the Master the fruits of
a holy heart and life. We do not have
to acquire n merai sense; we have that.
We do not need to obtain and develop a
conscience: we have that. There is ev-
erything bestowed upon us dirt is ne•
