Matthew 21:34

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

33Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.34When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.35But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
