Matthew
Chapters 21:34-40
New International Version Anglicized
34When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35‘The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37Last of all, he sent his son to them. “They will respect my son,” he said.
38‘But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, “This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.”
39So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40‘Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’
