Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.

And he began to say to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to farmers, and went abroad sufficient time. And in time he sent a servant to the farmers, that they give him from the fruit of the vineyard: and the farmers, skinning, sent him out empty. And he added to send another servant: and they also having skinned and dishonoured him, sent forth empty. read more.
And he added to send a third; and also, having wounded, they cast him out. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do I will send my dearly beloved son: perhaps, having seen him, they will change. And the farmers having seen him, reasoned to themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance be ours. And having cast him without the vineyard, they killed. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He shall come and destroy these farmers, and give the vineyard to others. And having heard, they said, It may not be.
