The Parable Of The Tenant Farmers In The Vineyard

Maybe they'll respect him.' 14 But when the farmers saw him, they talked it over among themselves and said, "This is the heir. Let's kill him so that the inheritance will be ours!' 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
