11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 12And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him . 14But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him . What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
