Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And he began to say this parable to the people, A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to laborers, and went on a journey for a long time. ¹⁰ And at the season he sent his servant to the laborers to give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the laborers beat him and sent him back empty. ¹¹ And again he sent another of his servants; but they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him back empty. ¹² And again he sent the third one; but they wounded him also, and threw him outside. ¹³ Then the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will see him and feel ashamed. ¹⁴ But when the laborers saw him, they reasoned with themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. ¹⁵ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy those laborers, and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, This will never happen. ¹⁷ But he looked at them and said, What is it that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone? ¹⁸ Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; and on whomever it falls it will scatter him.
