2 And at the season, he sent a servant to collect from the tenants part of the vineyard’s fruit.
3 But grabbing him, they beat him up and sent him away empty-handed.
4 And again the man sent another servant to them, and they wounded his head and treated him shamefully.
5 He sent another, and that one they killed; and so on with many others, beating some and killing some.
6 He had yet one, a well-loved son. He sent him to them last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir! Come on, let’s kill him and the inheritance will be ours!’
8 So grabbing the son, they killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
