Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
Cause they acted very selfishly wanting to keep it all to themsleves and thanklessly too as they beat up those whom the Lord sends, His servants and even His own Son. He will inherit the kingdom they jelosuly think and as they are set not on the spiritual pearl they should have found but the physical fruits of that phsyical field, blinded by their greed fail to see the pearl. Jesus himself.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
Hello dear friends, The chief priests and the Pharisees didn`t realize who the prophets and the son was.And for this matter salvation will be taken to Gentiles in the same way Jesus came and they didn`t recieve him yet his son the God rather decided to kill him and when you compare this with today` lesson , the farmers killed the servants of their master and also killed his son.And what the master will do when he comes, he will chase them away and get others i.e the Gentiles

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
Because they were the hypocrisy---what they said is different from their hearts. They always tried to seize and kill Jesus. They always tested Jesus preaching. They were not true fellower of Jesus. The scriptures says whoever belief in My Son Jesus will enter the kingdom of God, and whever does not belief in Him shell be left out.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
The pharisees and chief priests had and continue to reject God`s prophets including John the Baptist.Now they were rejecting Jesus and were soon going to crucify Him. They were an arrogant gropu that felt they were holy and knew everything.For these reasons the Kingdom of God was taken away from them.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
The chief priests and pharisees were greedy and self centred. They wanted power and used God as a tool to get it. This way they could control the people and have everything they wanted. God saw this and was very unhappy with them, which is why the Kingdom was taken away from them.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
Their hearts were hardened against God. No fruit was to be bourn there so God planted the seeds where it will bear much fruit. It does not mean God broke his promise with the Jews but more graceous to allow the gentiles to be partakers of the grace of God. God will save all and mankind who obeys him.

Why was the Kingdom of God taken away from the chief priests and Pharisees?
When Jesus said, The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head corner. ....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 the stone will be broken to pieces, but on whoever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust. The chief priests and pharisees rejected Jesus...that`s why.

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.
