9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time.
10 And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed.
11 And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
12 And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.'
14 And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: 'This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.'
15 And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?"
