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 will I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.`
14But 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, "God forbid!"
