nkjv Luke:20:9-16
nkjv@Luke:20:9 @ Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.
nkjv@Luke:20:10 @ Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
nkjv@Luke:20:11 @ Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
nkjv@Luke:20:12 @ And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.
nkjv@Luke:20:13 @ "Then the owner of the vineyard said, "What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.'
nkjv@Luke:20:14 @ But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
nkjv@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
nkjv@Luke:20:16 @ He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it they said, "Certainly not!"
