Luke 20:9-13

But He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and leased it to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him his share of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

And he proceeded to send another slave; but they beat him also and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

And he proceeded to send a third; but this one too they wounded and threw out.

Now the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What am I to do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
