2. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
3. And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4. And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
5. And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6. He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
