Context of Luke 20:13

11So 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. “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.’ 14But when the tenants saw him, they discussed the matter among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir! Let’s kill him so the inheritance will be ours.’ 15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the master of the vineyard do to them?
