Luke 20:15

"“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’"

Key Reflection

In this passage, Jesus uses the farmers' plot to kill the son as a parable for their resistance to his message and authority. Their desire to eliminate the heir reflects a broader human tendency to reject those who threaten our status or possessions, even when they offer true benefit and inheritance.
