Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.
34
And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.
35
And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.
36
Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.
37
But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
38
But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.
39
And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?
