"Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit.And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.'And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.

And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again. And again, as was his custom, he taught them.And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away."And Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.''Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

Then Peter said in reply, "See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?"Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry."But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?"He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
