33 “Listen to another parable. There was a master of a household who planted a vineyard. He put a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then He leased it to some tenant farmers and went on a journey.
34 Now when fruit season drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 But grabbing his servants, the tenants beat up one, killed another, and stoned still another.
36 Again the master sent other servants, even more than the first, and they did the same thing to them.
37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir! Come on, let’s kill him and get his inheritance!’
39 So grabbing him, they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
