Two parables to the mock obedience men

Matthew 21:28-46
The two parables of the tow sons and tenants. Point out the chief priests and elders they won't enter the kingdom of heaven.
The stone be builders rejected has become the capstone, the Lord has one this, and it is marvelous in out eyes. (Psalm 118:22,23)
Two sons: The first represents the social outcasts, who have made a genuine response to John and to Jesus; the second the religious leaders, with their mock obedience.
The vineyard (the nation of Israel whose owner is God: Isaiah 5:1-7). The men to whom God has entrusted spiritual leadership have abused the prophets and are about to kill his Son.
Jesus transfers the picture from Israel to himself - cast aside, crucified by his own people, but reinstated by God.
Why?
Jesus knew he will be crucified by his own people, but he will be the stone of salvation to those who believed in Him.
This is the stone of way, truth and life.
 How?
Jesus is my Lord, obey God's word and have action on it. Praise to the Lord!
