¹⁰ ·When it was time for the grapes to be picked [^LAt the (harvest) time], he sent a ·servant [slave] to the farmers to get some of the grapes [^Cthe portion of the harvest to pay the rent]. But they beat him and sent him away empty-handed. ¹¹ Then he sent another ·servant [slave]. They beat him also, and ·showed no respect for [humiliated; dishonored] him, and sent him away empty-handed. ¹² So the man sent a third. The farmers wounded him and threw him out [^Cthe servants represent the prophets God sent to Israel].
