Luke 20:10-13

10When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed.

11So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.

12So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.

13Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son; perhaps they will respect him.’
