33 “Listen to another parable: There was a man—a master of a house—who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the tenant farmers to collect his fruit.
35 And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned.
36 Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them.
37 So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’
39 And they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
