1 And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. 2 And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty. 4 And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised. 5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some. 6 Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son. 7 And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. 8 And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard.
