Eusebius of Caesarea, on Luke 20:9

“And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.”

“But the parable which Esaias gives denounces the vineyard, whereas our Saviour’s parable is not directed against the vineyard, but the cultivators of it; of whom it is added, And he let it out to husbandmen, that is, to the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the doctors, and all the nobles.”
