³⁹And apprehending him they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.And apprehending him they cast him forth out of the vineyard, & killed him.Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.

⁴⁰When therefore the Lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?When therfore the Lord of the vineyard shal come, what wil he doe to those husbandmen?Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis ?

By our Lord was this done, and it is maruelous in our eyes.Dicit illis Jesus : Numquam legistis in Scripturis : Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli : a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris ?

⁴³Therefore I say to you, that the Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a Nation yielding the fruits thereof.Therfore I say to you, that the Kingdom of God shal be taken away from you, and shal be giuen to a Nation yealding the fruits therof.Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.

⁴⁴And he that falleth upon this stone, shall be broken: and on whom it falleth, it shall all to-bruiseconteret: utterly crush, dash in pieces him.And he that falleth vpon this stone, shal be broken: and on whom it falleth, it shal al to bruise him.Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur : super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.

⁴⁵And when the chief Priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spake of them.And when the chiefe Priests and pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spake of them.Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.

⁴⁶And seeking to lay hands upon him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a Prophet.And seeking to lay hands vpon him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a Prophet.Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas : quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
