Luke 20:14 has the tenants plot to kill the heir—the religious leaders now attempt this against Jesus, fulfilling the parable's indictment.

Luke 19:47 earlier shows the chief priests seeking to destroy Jesus, setting up the ongoing hostility that culminates in the parable's application here.

Luke 19:48 notes the people hung on Jesus' words, explaining why the leaders feared to arrest Him—a direct context for their restraint in 20:19.

Luke 22:2 repeats the same motive — they seek to kill Jesus but fear the people — showing persistent fear throughout the passion narrative.

Matthew 21:45 records the same reaction: the chief priests and Pharisees realize Jesus' parable is about them, confirming the parallel account.

Matthew 21:46 adds that they feared the crowds because the people regarded Jesus as a prophet, explaining why they hesitated.

Matthew 26:3 shows the chief priests assembling to plot Jesus' arrest—the next step after their desire in Luke 20:19.

Matthew 26:4 reveals their plan to arrest Jesus secretly, detailing the cunning behind the intent here.

Mark 12:12 parallels this synoptic account — same fear of the crowd and desire to arrest Jesus after the parable.

In Mark 11:32, the religious leaders also fear the people (over John's baptism), mirroring the same fear that restrains them here.

Acts 4:21 shows apostles released because the authorities feared the people — the same 'fear of the people' motif appears in the early church.

Acts 5:26 again shows authorities avoiding force because they feared being stoned — repeats the same motive of popular restraint.

Mark 3:6 shows earlier plotting by Pharisees and Herodians to destroy Jesus — different group but same hostility, adding early opposition context.
