Luke 20:10-19 The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the produce of the vineyard; but they beat him, and sent him back empty.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the produce of the vineyard; but they beat him, and sent him back empty. ¹¹ Afterward, he sent another servant, whom they, having beaten, and used shamefully, also sent away empty. ¹² He afterward dispatched a third to them. Him, likewise, they wounded and drove away. ¹³ Then the proprietor of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; they will surely reverence him, when they see him. ¹⁴ But when then husbandmen saw him, they reasoned thus among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own. ¹⁵ And having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What, therefore, will the proprietor of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And some of his hearers said, God forbid. ¹⁷ Jesus, looking on them, said, What, then, means that expression of scripture, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner. ¹⁸ Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to pieces"? ¹⁹ At that time, the chief priests and the scribes, knowing that he had spoken this parable against them, would have laid hands on him, but feared the people.
