41:011:031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

41:011:032 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

41:011:033 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

41:012:001 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

41:012:002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

41:012:003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

41:012:004 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

41:012:005 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

41:012:006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

41:012:007 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
