Luke 20:9

⁷  And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

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

⁹  Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

¹⁰  And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

¹¹  And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
