Luke 20 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

9 And he began to say to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, & let it out to husbandmen: and he was from home a long time.

10 And in time he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who beating him sent him away empty.

11 And again he sent another servant. But they beating him also and reproachfully abusing him, sent him away empty.

12 And again he sent the third: who wounding him also, cast him out.

13 And the Lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they shall see him, they will reverence him.

14 Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the heritage may be ours.

15 And casting him forth out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do to them?

16 He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
