Gospel Note
While vv. 9-12 may have been a part of a true parable, the additional materials seem to make the whole an allegory. This allegory reflects the theology of the early church, out of which Luke's Gospel came. The allegory details the rejection and crucifixion of God's beloved son by the Israelites, his victory over death, and the establishment of the Living Christ as the Lord of lords.
