3 They took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.
5 And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.
6 He had one more to send, a beloved son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
7 But those vine-growers said to one another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'
8 They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.
