RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he began to speak to them in similes: 'A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-winevat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad; ² and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard, ³ and they, having taken him, did severely beat him, and did send him away empty. ⁴ 'And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded him in the head, and sent away -- dishonoured. ⁵ 'And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing. ⁶ 'Having yet therefore one son -- his beloved -- he sent also him unto them last, saying -- They will reverence my son; ⁷ and those husbandmen said among themselves -- This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance; ⁸ and having taken him, they did kill, and cast him forth without the vineyard. ⁹ 'What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
