At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

And He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and put a wall around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’

What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.

Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
