Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
The Chief priests and Pharisee did not believe in Jesus and they only thought of themselves. The kingdom of God is taken away from people like that today. Want it all not sharing, will kill to get ahead, to kill or hurt for goods. They didn`t trully love God They were caught up in traditonalism. Jesus is referring to himself in this parable. Jesus servants were all the prophets God had sent to his people to teach them repentance but rather than do so they kille them. Then God sent his own son and they killed him too. They hated Jesus message because it exposed their ungodly deeds. So they wanted to kill him and turn the peolple against him.

Because the chief priests and Pharisees did not believe Jesus was the son of God So they had him beaten, whipped and then crucified. Just like the prophets before him were persecuted and killed. So God gave salvation to sinners who repented and became true believers in his son Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen!

The Kingdom of God was taken away from the chief priests and pharisees because they did not do as Jesus told them, nor did they respect him.

It was taken from them because they were not doing what needs to be done which was believing the in the Lord Jesus Christ. leading the people to God. They were more against Jesus than with him, therefore you cannot have the Kingdom of God if you do not believe or have Faith in God.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
This parable demonstrates our trust in God. In the parable of the tentants the man sent servants to receive the fruits the farmers killed them, he sent his son they killed him, because they were greedy they wanted everything for themselves, but God will destory them and would put other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season. The Kingdom of God was taken away from the chief priests and pharisees because they did not cherish God, they did not want to share the fruit that was being brought forth they wanted to keep everything for themselves, they rejected the servants, but God said the stone which the builders rejected the same was made the head of the corner. Many times in our lives people would entrust us with something and at the end to reap the harvest, we persecute persons and make them feel like they don`t belong, but God gives us our reward.

The Parable of the Tenants

"Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country. When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit. The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way. But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.' But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.' So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"
They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures,
'The stone which the builders rejected,
the same was made the head of the corner.
This was from the Lord.
It is marvelous in our eyes?'
"Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit. He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whoever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust."
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them. When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
