BSB(i)
2 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
5 He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
6 Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7 But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
