Luke 20:8 CPDV

⁶  But if we say, 'Of men,' the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.'

⁷  And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.

⁸  And Jesus said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

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.
