7. So they answered that they did not know from where it came.
8. Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9. Then he proceeded to tell the people this parable. “[A] man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and then went on a journey for a long time.
10. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenant farmers to receive some of the produce of the vineyard. But they beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11. So he proceeded to send another servant, but him also they beat and insulted and sent away empty-handed.
