36Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.
37But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
38But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.
39And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.
40When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?
41They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.
