1 And He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge round it, and dug a wine-trough; and built a tower, and he gave it out to husbandmen, and went away. 2 And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard: 3 and they taking him, beat him, and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent to them another servant; and stoning him they wounded him in the head, and sent him away dishonored. 5 And again he sent another; and they slew him, and many others beating some, killing others. 6 Then having still one son, his own beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying; That they will reverence my son. 7 And those husbandmen said to one another; This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. 8 And taking him they slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
