36. Again the man sent other slaves, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.
37. Last of all he sent his son to them. ‘Surely they will respect my son,’ he said.
38. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the owner's son. Come on, let's kill him, and we will get his property!’
39. So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40. “Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” Jesus asked.
41. “He will certainly kill those evil men,” they answered, “and let the vineyard out to other tenants, who will give him his share of the harvest at the right time.”
