THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 21 - Verse 39

Verse 39. And they caught him, etc. This refers to the conduct of the Jews in putting the Saviour to death. So they understood it, Mt 21:45. The Jews put him to death, after they had persecuted and slain the prophets. This was done by giving him into the hands of the Romans, and seeking his crucifixion, Mt 27:20-25; Ac 2:23; Ac 7:51,52.

And cast him out of the vineyard. The vineyard in this parable may represent Jerusalem. Jesus was crucified out of Jerusalem, on Mount Calvary, Lu 23:33.

{z} "caught him" Ac 2:23; 4:25-27
