Luke 20:11-13
New English Translation
11 So[a] he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.[b] 12 So[c] he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out. 13 Then[d] the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son;[e] perhaps they will respect him.’
