32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.
33 "Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.
34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.
35 The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.
37 But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
38 But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'
