“Next he built a watchtower.

“When everything was finished, he rented the vineyard to some farmers

and went away to a far country.”

The tenants began working in the vineyard.

The tenants began working in the vineyard.

“When the harvest time came, he sent his servants to the husbandmen (the tenants) to collect his fruit” vs 34

“The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.” vs 35

“Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants did the same to them.” vs 36

“But last of all, he sent his son. ‘Surely they will respect my son,’ he said.” vs 37

“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his

inheritance.’ vs.38
