MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time. ¹⁰ "At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed. ¹¹ "Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed. ¹² "Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out. ¹³ "Then the master of the vineyard said: "'What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.' ¹⁴ "But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. 'This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.' ¹⁵ "So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ "He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others." ¹⁷ He looked at them and said: "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner? ¹⁸ "Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust." ¹⁹ At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
