And He began to speak to them by parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a fence about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and he let it out to vinedressers, and went away.

And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, so that he might receive from the vinedressers the fruit of the vineyard.

But those vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir! Come, let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours.

Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers and will give the vineyard to others.
