Luke 20:11

Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.

He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.

The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’

“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
