Mark 12:2-5

2When the harvest season came he sent a servant to the tenants, in order to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

3They took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

4Again he sent them another servant, and they [threw stones and] wounded him in the head, and treated him disgracefully.

5And he sent another, and that one they killed; then many others—some they beat and some they killed.
