Jesus tells this parable in the temple courts during his final week in Jerusalem, addressing the chief priests and elders who have just questioned his authority. The landowner's careful preparation, a wall, a winepress and a watchtower, echoes Isaiah 5, where Israel is pictured as the Lord's vineyard.
