# Connecting Statement:

Jesus finishes telling his parable to the crowd.

# They threw him out of the vineyard

"The vine growers forced the son out of the vineyard"

# What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

Jesus uses a question to get his listeners to pay attention to what the owner of the vineyard will do. Alternate translation: "So now, listen to what the lord of the vineyard will do to them." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
