    9He began to tell the people this parable. "A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

    10At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

    11He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

    12He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

    13The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'

    14"But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

    15They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

    16He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be!"

    17But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?'

    33"Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

    34When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

    35The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

    36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

    37But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

    38But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.'

    39So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

    40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"

    41They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."
