Context of Matthew 21:36

34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruits. 35And the vinedressers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner. 37But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
