Luke 20:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:11

And again he sent another servant
Or set of prophets in after times, and yet before the Babylonish captivity:

and they beat him also;
as they had done the other; they continued in their malpractices, yea increased in them:

and entreated him shamefully;
putting him to open shame, using him in a very ignominious and shameful manner, which it was a shame to relate, and which was shameful for them to do:

and sent him away empty;
as they had done the other.

Luke 20:11 In-Context

9 He began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenants, and went to another country for a long time.

10 When the season came, he sent a slave to the tenants in order that they might give him his share of the produce of the vineyard; but the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

11 Next he sent another slave; that one also they beat and insulted and sent away empty-handed.

12 And he sent still a third; this one also they wounded and threw out.

13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, "What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'
