*
Hear ye another parable .
There was a certain man who was a house-ruler ,
who planted a vineyard ,
and placed a hedge around it ,
and dug a winepress in it ,
and built a tower ,
and leased it to farmers ,
and went on a journey .
*
And when the time of the fruits approached ,
he sent his bondmen to the farmers to receive his fruits .
*
And the farmers having taken his bondmen ,
they beat one ,
and killed another ,
and stoned another .
*
Again ,
he sent other bondmen more than the first ,
and they did to them in like manner .
*
But finally he sent to them his son ,
saying ,
They will be made ashamed by my son .
*
But the farmers ,
when they saw the son ,
said among themselves ,
This is the heir ,
come ,
let us kill him ,
and possess his inheritance .
*
And having seized him ,
they cast him out of the vineyard ,
and killed him .
