Matthew 21:33-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³³ Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.

³⁴ And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.

³⁵ And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

³⁶ Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.

³⁷ And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
