JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. ² And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard. ³ And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty. ⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised. ⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some. ⁶ Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son. ⁷ And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. ⁸ And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard. ⁹ Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others. ¹⁰ And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner: ¹¹ This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? ¹² And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away.
