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.

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?
Because the chief priests and Pharisees did not accept Jesus as God`s truth, which would be an admission that their own theology is wrong. Instead, they rejected Jesus.

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.

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.

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.
