Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
They rejected the son of God and killed Him. Any one living in sin today be ye believer or an unbeliever is a pharisees. A believer here means chief priest. that is one who continued to live in sin after accepting Jesus While pharisees means a typical unbeliever, who is not yet converted. Therefore, we should be careful so as to inherit the Kingdom of God.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
The story is about those entrusted with an investment, who had to remit proceeds back to the owner as per contract. They at first failed to put in, what the owner agreed with them -the fruits, and yet this was the fruiting season. Then they also wanted to seize the entire investment ''inheritance'' from the all powerful owner. The verdict was: Either the stone of Justice wouldl crush them, or they would simply stumble on that stone, and be broken to pieces. The Kingdom of God would be taken away from the chief priests and pharisees, because they failed to give back to God what belonged to God. Instead they frustrated God, by rejecting the Lordship of Jesus, and also misleading others to do likewise, to their detriment. That stone was Jesus Christ.

The pharisees and the chiefpriests were not spiritually blind, because they perceived that Jesus was talking about them. Why wouldnt they rather have repented? Couldnt they have known the repentence option?

The kingdom of God was taken away from the chief priest and the pharisees because they did not preach the kingdom instead they deceived the people of their false teachings

The Kingdom of God was taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees because they were not thinking of God - they were only thinking of themselves.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
Jesus gave them an applicable parable of the vineyard where the servants ''Prophets who came before him'' of the Master were killed by the farmers this is the reason to why the Pharisees and the Chief Priests will be refused the Kingdom of God because they did not recognise and believe in the Kingdom of God that Jesus himself was the Idol on earth to show the coming of Kingdom of God.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
Because they are so selfish, and they wanted to take everything for their own - greedy. They were not thankful for what God had given them. What God gives us He can always take it away if we don`t value it and don`t follow God`s commandement.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
The Chief priests and Pharisees were proud, they considered themselves to be holy and pure. Good from outside but bad from inside. What ever they have they dont and never shared instead they stop people coming to GOD for their own profit. So God has taken away the Kingdom of God from them an will give it to someone who is willing to share with other.

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.
