Matthew 21:34-39

34 When it was nearly time for the harvest, the master sent his servants to speak to the farmers. He wanted them to give him his fruit from the vines. 35 But the farmers took hold of the servants. They hit one of them with sticks. They killed another one. They threw stones at another servant and killed him. 36 So the master sent other servants to go to the farmers. He sent more servants than the first time. But the farmers did the same thing to those servants too. 37 After that, the master sent his own son to the farmers. He thought, “The farmers will surely respect my son.”

38 The farmers saw the master's son coming. They said to each other, “This is the master's own son. The farm will belong to him when his father dies. So we should kill the son and then the farm will belong to us.” 39 So the farmers took hold of the son. They threw him out of the vineyard and they killed him.’
