Parable of the Wicked Tenants
33 An other parable hear ye: A man there was, an householder who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and digged in it a press, and builded a tower, and let it out to husbandmen: and went forth into a strange country.📜💬📚
34 And when the time of fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits thereof.📜💬📚
35 And the husbandmen apprehending his servants, one they beat, an other they killed, and an other they stoned.📜💬📚
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former: and they did to them likewise.📜💬📚
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.📜💬📚
38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said within themselves This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.📜💬📚
39 And apprehending him they cast him forth out of the vineyard, & killed him.📜💬📚
40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?📜💬📚
41 They say to him: The naughty men he will bring to naught: and his vineyard he will let out to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in their seasons.📜💬📚
