Luke 20:16 Context
14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselues, saying, This is þe heire, come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard doe vnto them? 16Hee shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall giue the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 17And hee beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders reiected, the same is become the head of the corner? 18Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to powder.

Wesley's Notes for Luke 20:16
20:16 He will destroy these husbandmen - Probably he pointed to the scribes, chief priests, and elders: who allowed, he will miserably destroy those wicked men, #Mt 21:41|; but could not bear that this should be applied to themselves. They might also mean, God forbid that we should be guilty of such a crime as your parable seems to charge us with, namely, rejecting and killing the heir. Our Saviour answers, But yet will ye do it, as is prophesied of you.
