Matthew 21:38

36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.

37 Then last of all he sent his ^ason to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ^a‘This is the heir. ^bCome, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’

39 ^aSo they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?”
