9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: 'A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time.
10 And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed.
11 And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
12 And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.'
