    10And at harvest time he sent a servant to the tenant farmers, that they would give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the tenant farmers beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

    33Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and hedged it around, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and leased it to vine dressers, and went into a far country.

    34And when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vine dressers, that they might receive the fruits of it.

    35And the vine dressers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

    36Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they did likewise to them.

    37But last of all, he sent his son to them, saying, They will respect my son.

    38But when the vine dressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.

    39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

    40When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine dressers?

    41They said to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will lease his vineyard to other vine dressers who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

    3But they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

    4Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

    5He sent yet another, and him they killed; as well as many others, beating some and killing some.

    6Therefore, having one son, his beloved, he sent him to them last, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

    7But those farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

    8So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

    9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and give the vineyard to others.

    1Now I will sing to my beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill:

    2And he fenced it, and removed its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress in it: and he expected it to bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.

    3And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

    4What more could have been done to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to bring forth grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes?

    5And now, I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down:
