And they answered, that they knew not, of whence it was.

And Jesus said to them, Neither I say to you, in what power I do these things.
9
And he began to say to the people this parable. A man planted a vineyard [Some man planted a vineyard], and hired it to tillers; and he was gone in pilgrimage long time.
10
And in the time of gathering of grapes, he sent a servant to the tillers, that they should give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; which beat him, and let him go void.
11
And he thought yet to send another servant; and [also] they beat this, and tormented him sore, and let him go void.
12
And he thought yet to send the third, and him also they wounded, and casted [cast] him out.
13
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I shall send my dear-worthy son; peradventure, when they see him, they shall dread [they shall be ashamed].
14
And when the tillers saw him, they thought within themselves, and said [saying], This is the heir, slay we him, that the heritage be [made] ours.
15
And they casted [cast] him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What shall then the lord of the vineyard do to them [What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them]?
16
He shall come, and destroy these tillers [and lose these tillers], and [he shall] give the vineyard to others. And when this thing was heard, they said to him, God forbid [Far be it].
17
But he beheld them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which men building reproved, this is made into the head of the corner?
