Matthew 21:36

32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

33“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

34When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.

35The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

36Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.

37But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’

39So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.

40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
