10. At harvest time he sent a slave to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11. He sent yet another slave, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12. And he sent yet a third, but they wounded this one too and threw him out.
