Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them likewise. But afterward he sent to them his 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 have his inheritance!' And, taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husband-men?" They say to Him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons."

"And he seat still another servant: and him also, having beaten and dishonored, they sent away empty. read more.
"And he sent still a third; and they, having wounded this one, cast him out. "And the lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved; perhaps they will reverence him.' "But, seeing him, the husbandmen were reasoning one with another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.' And, having thrust him forth out of the vineyard, they slew him. What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others." And, having heard it, they said, "May it not be!"
