Neville Goddard on Luke 20:13-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 20 in context

Scripture Focus

13Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

Luke 20:13-15

Biblical Context

Luke 20:13–15 presents a vineyard owner who sends his beloved son; the tenants plot to kill him to seize the inheritance, illustrating how old patterns resist new life within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner life, the vineyard is your consciousness and the lord of the vineyard is the I AM. The beloved son is a fresh idea or realization seeking birth in you. When the tenants recognize him as heir, they kill him to hold onto the inheritance—this mirrors your mind clinging to familiar forms and suppressing the new life. Cast out and slain, the son exposes how fear and attachment obstruct realization. The question, What shall the lord do unto them? becomes an invitation: the I AM will restore order by awakening a state where the new idea rules. Your kingdom manifests as you stop resisting the son and allow him to take his rightful throne. The lesson is inner justice: align with the son, and the inheritance, your realized state, flows into experience. Practice by assuming the son is already here, and revise any fear that this new life could vanish; feel the reality of the inner kingdom now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the I AM as the beloved son already present; revise fear of loss until the new idea feels sovereign within you, then let it govern your life.
