And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent {him} away empty.

And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated {him} shamefully, and sent {him} away empty.

And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast {him} out.

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence {him} when they see him.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
