2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Therefore he had yet one, a beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, `They will respect my son.`
7 But those farmers said among themselves, `This is the heir. Come, let`s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.`
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
