3 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
4 And they caught the servant and beat him, and sent him away empty.
5 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.
6 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
