There was a certayne man, an householder, which made a vineyarde, & hedged it rounde about, and made a wynepresse in it, and buylt a towre, and let it out to husbande men: and went into a strange countrey 34 And when the time of the fruite drewe neare, he sent his seruauntes to the husbande men, that they might receaue the fruites of it 35 And the husbande men caught his seruauntes, and beatte one, killed another, and stoned another 36 Agayne, he sent other seruauntes, mo then the first: and they dyd vnto them lykewyse 37 But laste of all, he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying: they wyll stande in awe of my sonne 38 But when the husband men sawe the sonne, they sayde among them selues: this is the heire, come, let vs kyll hym, and let vs enioy his inheritaunce 39 And they caught hym, and thrust him out of the vineyarde, and slewe [hym] 40 When the Lorde therfore of the vineyarde commeth, what wyll he do vnto those husbande men 41 They sayde vnto hym: He wyll miserably destroy those wicked [men] & wyll let out his vineyard vnto other husband men, which shall delyuer him the fruite in due seasons 42 Iesus sayth vnto them.
