Luke 20:10-13

10At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him his share of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

11And he proceeded to send another slave; but they beat him also and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

12And he proceeded to send a third; but this one too they wounded and threw out.

13Now the 1owner of the vineyard said, ‘What am I to do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will 2respect him.’
