Jesus sent him home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”

So he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.

He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.

At harvest time he sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them his portion of the crop.

He had one left, his one dear son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
