Receiving the messengers
The parable Jesus tells in our Gospel today perfectly encapsulates the phrase: “Don’t shoot the messenger.” Jesus is palpably frustrated with the lack of faith and comprehension shown by the chief priests and elders. How could the chief priests reject God himself when he’s right in front of their noses? As a result, he tells the story of the vineyard owner who is wronged by his tenant farmers: First they steal his produce, then they hurt his servants and messengers, and finally even put his son to death. It’s a story of unbelievable proportions, or so it seems. At the end, Jesus puts the question to his hearers: What would you do if you were the vineyard owner? Their answer is simple: Put those wicked men to death.
