Luke 20:9-15

Noyes(i) 9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time. 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away emptyhanded. 11 And he sent still another servant; and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away emptyhanded. 12 And he went on to send a third; and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him. 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours. 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
