Gospel according to Matthew

The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

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

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.'

So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"
