2 And when the tyme was come he sent to the tennauntes a servaunt that he myght receave of the tenauntes of the frute of the vyneyarde.

3 And they caught him and bet him and sent him agayne emptye.

4 And moreoever he sent vnto them another servaunt and at him they cast stones and brake his heed and sent him agayne all to revyled.

5 And agayne he sent another and him they kylled: and many other beetynge some and kyllinge some.

6 Yet had he one sonne whom he loved tenderly him also he sent at the last vnto them sayinge: they wyll feare my sonne.

7 But the tenauntes sayde amongest them selves: this is the heyre: come let vs kyll hym and ye inheritauce shalbe oures.

8 And they toke him and kyllid him and cast him out of the vyneyarde.
