And many others; some, indeed beating, and, others, slaying. Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying - They will pay deference unto my son! But, those husbandmen, unto themselves, said - This, is the heir: Come! let us slay him, and, ours, shall be, the inheritance. And, taking, they slew him, and cast him forth outside the vineyard.
