Matthew 21:33-37

“Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and he leased it to vine-growers and went on a journey.

And when the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his fruit.

And the vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they did the same things to them.

But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
