I will send my dear son, him peradventure they will reverence, when they see him.' 14 But when the farmers saw him, they thought in themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' 15 And they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Now what shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them?
