Luke:20:9-15

*
Then began he to speak to the people this parable ;
A certain man planted a vineyard ,
and let it forth to husbandmen ,
and went into a far country for a long time .
*
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen ,
that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard :
but the husbandmen beat him ,
and sent him away empty .
*
And again he sent another servant :
and they beat him also ,
and entreated him shamefully ,
and sent him away empty .
*
And again he sent a third :
and they wounded him also ,
and cast him out .
*
Then said the lord of the vineyard ,
What shall I do ?
I will send my beloved son :
it may be they will reverence him when they see him .
*
But when the husbandmen saw him ,
they reasoned among themselves ,
saying ,
This is the heir :
come ,
let us kill him ,
that the inheritance may be ours .
*
So they cast him out of the vineyard ,
and killed him .
What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them ?
