No, the tenants are not the “people who produced fruit” because in this parable God is the landlord and produce meant give the landlord his harvest, not “produce” in the general sense. I don’t know how you square it logically with the latter, because Jesus immediately calls out the people he’s talking to calling them the bad tenants from the metaphor.
Isn't the vineyard in this case "the stone the builders rejected"? And the tenants who work the land the "people who will produce its fruit"?
I mean, this is classical Biblical shit, in that we can argue all day about interpretations haha
