Context of Luke 20:14
12And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out. 13And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him]. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come,] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours. 15And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them? 16He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!
