Matthew(i)
33 Herken another similitude. There was a certayne housholder, which planted a vyneyard, and hedged it rounde aboute and made a wynepresse in it, and buylt a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a straunge countrey.
34 And when the tyme of the frute drewe neare, he sente hys seruauntes to the husbandmen to receyue the fruytes of it.
35 And the husbandmen caughte hys seruauntes and bet one, kylled another, and stoned another.
36 Agayne he sent other seruauntes, mo then the fyrste, and they serued them lykewyse.
37 But last of all, he sent vnto them hys owne sonne, sayinge: they wyll feare my sonne.
38 But when the husbandmen sawe the sonne, they sayde amonge them selues. Thys is the heyre: come let vs kyll hym, and let vs take hys enheritaunce to oure selues.
39 And they caughte hym and thruste him out of the vyneyard, and slewe hym.
40 When the Lorde of the vyneyard cometh, what wyll he do with those husbandmen?
41 They sayed vnto hym: he wyll cruellye destroye those euyll persons, and wyll let out hys vyneyarde vnto other husbandmen, which shall delyuer hym the frute at tymes conuenient.
