Luke and Mark (NEVER, EVER apostles) scramble to save Pharisees from SELF-condemnation...but it's too late!

by thy words thou shalt be condemned

¹⁵ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

¹⁶ He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

Luke 20

SAY WHAT?  ‘And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.’

Not according to apostle Matthew:  The Pharisees self-condemn by ANSWERING the question Jesus asks, “When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?” v.40

⁴¹ THEY SAY UNTO HIM, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

⁴³ Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

⁴⁴ And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

⁴⁵ And when the chief priests and PHARISEES had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

Matthew 21

Lying Mark also avoids Pharisee self-condemnation by having Jesus both ask the question and answer it regarding the parable: “What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.” [Mark 12:9]…BUT EXCLUDES THE INTERPRETATION found in Matthew 21:43 AND 44!

So you’ve got to wonder WHY BOTHER taking the fate of those husbandmen out of the mouths of Pharisees?!!!

“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be CONDEMNED.” Matthew 12:37
