At harvest time he sent a slave to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

He sent yet another slave, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

and how our chief priests and leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him.

just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us.

For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and He will be mocked, insulted, spit on;

and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.

He has satisfied the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
