[Return to Saying 65]

Matthew

MAT 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

MAT 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

MAT 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

MAT 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

MAT 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

MAT 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

MAT 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

Mark

MAR 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

MAR 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

MAR 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

MAR 12:4 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.

MAR 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

MAR 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

MAR 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

MAR 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

Luke

LUK 20:9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

LUK 20:10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

LUK 20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

LUK 20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

LUK 20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

LUK 20:14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

LUK 20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
