Hear ye another parable. A man was a landlord, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a wine-trough in it, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away. And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits; and the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, and stoned another. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. And afterward he sent to them his own son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of his inheritance. And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him. Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen? They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.

And He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge round it, and dug a wine-trough; and built a tower, and he gave it out to husbandmen, and went away.

And again he sent to them another servant; and stoning him they wounded him in the head, and sent him away dishonored. And again he sent another; and they slew him, and many others beating some, killing others. Then having still one son, his own beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying; That they will reverence my son. And those husbandmen said to one another; This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. And taking him they slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What then shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others.

And he proceeded to send to them another servant, and they beating and dishonoring him sent him away empty. read more.
And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence him.

And casting him out from the vineyard they slew him; what then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing, they said, Let it not be so.
