Luke 20:10-13

10At harvest time he sent a servant [as his representative] to the tenants, so that they would give him his share of the fruit of the vineyard; but the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11So he again sent another servant; they also beat him and dishonored and treated him disgracefully and sent him away empty-handed.

12And he sent yet a third; and this one too they wounded and threw out [of the vineyard].

13Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will have respect for him.’
