12And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
³And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
⁵And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
⁶Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.’
⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
⁹What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
