Mace(i)
2 at the time of vintage he sent his servant to the vine-dressers to receive the profits of his vineyard.
3 but they seized on him, and beat him, and sent him home empty.
4 after this he sent another servant to them, him they assaulted with stones and cudgels, and sent him back with contempt.
5 then he sent another, whom they killed: and of several more, some they beat, some they killed.
6 at last, having one only son, whom he loved, he sent him to them; surely, said he, they will reverence my son.
7 but these husbandmen said to one another, this is the heir, come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
8 so they seized upon him, and dragg'd him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
