ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time. ¹⁰ And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty. ¹¹ And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty. ¹² And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out. ¹³ And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man. ¹⁴ But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours. ¹⁵ And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
