33. “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.
34. When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servantsto the tenants to get his fruit.
35. And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36. Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.
37. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’
39. And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40. When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
