MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Then began he to put forth to the people this similitude, "A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to farmers, and went himself into a strange country for a great season. ¹⁰ And when the time was come, he sent a servant to his tenants, that they should give him of the fruits of the vineyard. And the tenants did beat him: and sent him away empty. ¹¹ And again he ceased not thereby but sent yet another servant. And they did beat him, and foul entreated him also, and sent him away empty. ¹² Moreover, he sent the third, too: And him they wounded, and cast him out. ¹³ Then said the Lord of the vineyard, 'What shall I do? I will send my dear son, him peradventure they will reverence, when they see him.' ¹⁴ But when the farmers saw him, they thought in themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' ¹⁵ And they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Now what shall the Lord of the vineyard do unto them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy those farmers, and will let out his vineyard to others." When they heard that, they said, "God forbid."
