Parable of the Wicked Tenants
33 An other parable hear ye: A man there was, an householder who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and digged in it a press, and builded a tower, and let it out to husbandmen: and went forth into a strange country.
34 And when the time of fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits thereof.
35 And the husbandmen apprehending his servants, one they beat, an other they killed, and an other they stoned.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former: and they did to them likewise.
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said within themselves This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
39 And apprehending him they cast him forth out of the vineyard, & killed him.
40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 They say to him: The naughty men he will bring to naught: and his vineyard he will let out to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in their seasons.
45 And when the chief Priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spake of them.
