Mark 12:2-6

2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others*; beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying*, They will reverence my son.
