Matthew 21:34-37

34When the 1harvest time approached, he 2sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

35The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.

36Again he 3sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.

37But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
