Matthew 21:33-46
The parable contained in these verses was spoken with special reference to the Jews. They are the husbandmen here described: their sins are set before us here as in a picture. Of this there can be no doubt: it is written that “He spake of them.”
But we must not flatter ourselves that this parable contains nothing for the Gentiles. There are lessons laid down for us, as well as for the Jews. Let us see what they are.
We see in the first place what distinguishing privileges God is pleased to bestow on some nations.
