Luke 20:9 WBT

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

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

⁹  Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it 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 treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
