Mark 12:2-5

2At the time for the harvest, the man sent a servant to speak to the farmers. He wanted them to give him some fruit from the garden.

3But the farmers took hold of the servant and they hit him with sticks. They sent him away with nothing.

4So the man sent another servant to the farmers. They also hit this servant on the head, and they did other bad things to him.

5The man then sent another servant, but the farmers killed this servant. He sent many other servants to them. The farmers hit some of these servants with sticks and they killed other servants.
