* "
Hear another parable :
There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it ,
dug a winepress in it and built a tower .
And he leased it to farmers and went on a journey .
*
Now when [
harvest ]
time of fruits drew near ,
he sent his servants to the farmers ,
that they might collect his fruits .
*
And the farmers took his servants ,
they beat one ,
and one they killed ,
and another they stoned .
*
Again he sent other servants ,
more than the first ,
and they did to them likewise .
*
And at last he sent to them his son ,
saying , '
They will respect my son .'
* "
But when the farmers saw the son ,
they said among themselves , '
This is the heir .
Come ,
let us kill him ,
and let us gain possession of his inheritance .'
* "
And taking him ,
they cast [
him ]
out of the vineyard and killed [
him ].
