Matthew 21:39 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Cast him out of the vineyard. — The minor touches of a parable are not always to be pressed in our interpretation of it; but we can hardly help seeing here a latent reference to the facts (1) that our Lord was delivered over to the judgment of the Gentiles; and (2) that He was crucified outside the Holy City, (John 19:20; Hebrews 13:12), which was, in a special sense, as the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts.

Matthew 21:39

39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
