Context of Luke 20:11

9Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time. 10And at the season, he sent a servant to the tenants so that they would give him part of the vineyard’s fruit. But the tenants beat him up and sent him away empty-handed. So he proceeded to send another servant. They beat him too and treated him shamefully, and they sent him away empty-handed. 12And he proceeded to send a third one. They wounded this one too, and they threw him out. 13“Now the master of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love. Probably they will show him respect.’
