2. At harvest time he sent a servant to the vinedressers to receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3. But they seized him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
4. Then he sent another servant to them. They threw stones at him, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5. Still he sent another, and they killed him. And there were many others. Some they beat, and some they killed.
6. “Having yet his one well-beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will revere my son.’
7. “But those vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8. So they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
