So<n id="1" /> they threw him out of the vineyard and killed<n id="2" /> him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy<n id="1" /> those tenants and give the vineyard to others.<n id="2" />

So<n id="1" /> they seized him,<n id="2" /> threw him out of the vineyard,<n id="3" /> and killed him.

Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?&#8221;

So<n id="1" /> they seized him,<n id="2" /> killed him, and threw his body<n id="3" /> out of the vineyard.<n id="4" />

And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage,<n id="1" /> he sent them into his vineyard.

He said to them, &#8216;You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you whatever is right.&#8217;

They said to him, &#8216;Because no one hired us.&#8217; He said to them, &#8216;You go and work in the vineyard too.&#8217;

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner<n id="1" /> who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;What<n id="1" /> do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, &#8216;Son, go and work in the vineyard today.&#8217;

They said to him, &#8220;He will utterly destroy those evil men! Then he will lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his portion at the harvest.&#8221;p>

At harvest time he sent a slave<n id="1" /> to the tenants to collect from them<n id="2" /> his portion of the crop.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he began to tell the people this parable: &#8220;A man<n id="2" /> planted a vineyard,<n id="3" /> leased it to tenant farmers,<n id="4" /> and went on a journey for a long time.

When harvest time came, he sent a slave<n id="1" /> to the tenants so that they would give<n id="2" /> him his portion of the crop.<n id="3" /> However, the tenants beat his slave<n id="4" /> and sent him away empty-handed.

Then<n id="1" /> the owner of the vineyard said, &#8216;What should I do? I will send my one dear son;<n id="2" /> perhaps they will respect him.&#8217;

He will come and destroy<n id="1" /> those tenants and give the vineyard to others.&#8221;<n id="2" /> When the people<n id="3" /> heard this, they said, &#8220;May this never happen!&#8221;<n id="4" />

When<n id="1" /> it was evening<n id="2" /> the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, &#8216;Call the workers and give the pay<n id="3" /> starting with the last hired until the first.&#8217;

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Listen to another parable: There was a landowner<n id="1" /> who planted a vineyard.<n id="2" /> He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Then<n id="3" /> he leased it to tenant farmers<n id="4" /> and went on a journey.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he began to speak to them in parables: &#8220;A man planted a vineyard.<n id="2" /> He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Then<n id="3" /> he leased it to tenant farmers<n id="4" /> and went on a journey.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> told this parable: &#8220;A man had a fig tree<n id="3" /> planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
