1. AND he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
2. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3. Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4. And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
