Context of Luke 20:9
7And they answered, that they could not tell where it was from. 8And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. 10And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty. 11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
