Mace(i)
33 Hear another parable: a certain landlord planted a vineyard, hedged it round, set up a wine-press in it, and built a tower, then lett it out to tenants, and went into a foreign country.
34 and when the fruit-season came on, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive the fruits of it.
35 but they seiz'd his servants, beat some, killed one, and stoned another.
36 then he sent a greater number of servants, than at first: who met with the same treatment.
37 but last of all, he sent his son, saying, they will reverence my son.
38 but when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, this is the heir, come, let us kill him, and then seize on his inheritance.
39 so seizing upon him, they turn'd him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 when the master therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?
41 they answered, he will give those wretches no quarter, and will let out his vineyard to such as shall duly account for the profits thereof.
