Matthew 21:33-41

33Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

34But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

35And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

36Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.

37And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.

38But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.

39And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?

41They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
