Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 20:16

_ _ He shall come, etc. — This answer was given by the Pharisees themselves (Matthew 21:41), thus pronouncing their own righteous doom. Matthew alone (Matthew 21:43) gives the naked application, that “the kingdom of God should be taken from them, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof” — the great evangelical community of the faithful, chiefly Gentiles.

_ _ God forbid — His whole meaning now bursting upon them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 20:9-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 20:16

He will destroy these husbandmen — Probably he pointed to the scribes, chief priests, and elders: who allowed, he will miserably destroy those wicked men, Matthew 21:41; but could not bear that this should be applied to themselves. They might also mean, God forbid that we should be guilty of such a crime as your parable seems to charge us with, namely, rejecting and killing the heir. Our Saviour answers, But yet will ye do it, as is prophesied of you.
