Matthew 21:33-41

33"Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.

34When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit.

35And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

36Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.

37Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.'

39And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"

41They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."
