The relationship between the owner who made the vineyard and the vinedressers who worked there was clear from the beginning. The vinedressers were not the people who had made the land or established the vineyard; they were people who had received from the owner a place to work in it. Jesus said, “A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time” (Luke 20:9). Yet when the owner sent his servants to receive some of the fruit, the vinedressers beat the servants and drove them out, and finally they even killed the son, the heir, to make the inheritance their own. They did not merely confuse what was entrusted to them with their own; knowing the owner’s rights, they plotted together to seize them.
