Matthew 21:33-38 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

33. "Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

34. When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

35. The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.

36. Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.

37. But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

38. But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'
