Luke 20:11

11 καὶ προσέθετο ἕτερον πέμψαι ⸃ δοῦλον · οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.

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 Ἤρξατο δὲ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγειν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην · Ἄνθρωπος ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ ἐξέδετο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν χρόνους ἱκανούς.

10 καὶ καιρῷ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον, ἵνα ἀπὸ τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δώσουσιν αὐτῷ · οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν δείραντες ⸃ κενόν.

11 καὶ προσέθετο ἕτερον πέμψαι ⸃ δοῦλον · οἱ δὲ κἀκεῖνον δείραντες καὶ ἀτιμάσαντες ἐξαπέστειλαν κενόν.

12 καὶ προσέθετο τρίτον πέμψαι ⸃· οἱ δὲ καὶ τοῦτον τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον.

13 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος · Τί ποιήσω; πέμψω τὸν υἱόν μου τὸν ἀγαπητόν · ἴσως τοῦτον ἐντραπήσονται.
