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.

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?
In my opinion, i assume this pharisees and chief priest are the `farmer` in the parable who killed all the servant. This is the criteria why Kingdom of God taken from them; - They so ego, they wont believe to Jesus because they think they always right and holy eventhough they already see many miracle by Jesus. They expert in God commandment but they always take the law into their own hands by punishing criminals as they see fit. They not `down to earth` around people because in their mind, they surround by sinners and only them who life holy infront of God and they proud of it. This pharisees and chief priest would never see Kingdom of God but will be throw in everlasting fire.

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.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
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.

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.
