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 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long time.

10 And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.

11 And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.

12 And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.

13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him].
