^{33 Ref} "Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

^{34 Ref} When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

^{35 Ref} The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

^{36 Ref} Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

^{37 Ref} But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

^{38 Ref} But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.'

^{39 Ref} So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

^{40 Ref} When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"

^{41 Ref} They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."
