Matthew 21:33-41

Wesley(i) 33 Hear another parable. There was a certain housholder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. 34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they did to them likewise. 37 Last of all he sent to them his Son, saying, They will reverence my Son. 38 But the husbandmen seeing the Son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come let us kill him and seize on his inheritance. 39 And taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard and slew him. 40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen? 41 They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
