1. Jesus used stories to teach the people. He said, “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it and dug a hole for a winepress. Then he built a tower. He leased the vineyard to some farmers and left for a trip.
2. Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent a servant to the farmers to get his share of the grapes.
3. But the farmers grabbed the servant and beat him. They sent him away with nothing.
4. Then the man sent another servant. They hit him on the head and showed no respect for him.
5. So the man sent another servant. They killed this servant. The man sent many other servants. The farmers beat some of them and killed others.
