    10 When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed.

    11 So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.

    12 So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.

    13 Then the owner of the vineyard said,‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son; perhaps they will respect him.’
