32AD Passion Week Monday: The Parable of the Two Sons and the Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers
The religious leaders sent spies among Jesus followers to try to trick Jesus with complex questions. In this context and the turning of the tables, Jesus tells two parables about a vineyard and the wickedness of the religious leaders. .
The parable of the two sons is about two sons. One is wicked, honest, and repentant and the other is religious, deceitful, and unrepentant. Which one did the will of the father?
The parable of the wicked vinedresser speaks to the love of the God, that would send prophet after prophet to Israel followed by his own son which would be rejected and killed. The parable was a condemnation of the religious leaders as much as it is was a prophet annotation of the days to come.
Matthew 21:23-22:14, Mark 11:27-12:12, Luke 20:1-19
