Luke 20:10-19 So at the proper time He sent a slave to the tenants, that they might pay him his part of the grape-crop, but the tenants beat him and sent him back empty-handed.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ So at the proper time He sent a slave to the tenants, that they might pay him his part of the grape-crop, but the tenants beat him and sent him back empty-handed. ¹¹ Then again he sent another slave, and they beat him and insulted him, and sent him back empty-handed. ¹² And again he sent a third slave, and they wounded him and threw him out of the vineyard. ¹³ Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my dearly loved son. They will, I should think, respect him.' ¹⁴ But when the tenants saw him, they argued among themselves, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, so that what he inherits may be ours.' ¹⁵ So they drove him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and put those tenants to death and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said, "May it never be so!" ¹⁷ But He glanced at them and said, "Then what does this Scripture mean: 'That stone which the builders threw away has now become the cornerstone'? ¹⁸ Everyone who falls upon that stone will be shattered, and he on whom it falls will be crushed to dust." ¹⁹ Then the scribes and the high priests tried to arrest Him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the people, for they knew that He meant this story for them.
