9 And He began to speak to the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time. 10 And, at the season, he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, beating him , sent him away empty. 11 "And he seat still another servant: and him also, having beaten and dishonored, they sent away empty. 12 "And he sent still a third; and they, having wounded this one, cast him out. 13 "And the lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved; perhaps they will reverence him.' 14 "But, seeing him, the husbandmen were reasoning one with another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.' 15 And, having thrust him forth out of the vineyard, they slew him . What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others." And, having heard it , they said, "May it not be!"
