Mark 12:3-6

Goodspeed(i) 3 And they took him and beat him and sent him back empty-handed. 4 And again he sent another slave to them. And they beat him over the head and treated him shamefully. 5 And he sent another; and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed. 6 He still had one left to send, a dearly loved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
