And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.

And they took him, and gave him blows, and sent him away with nothing.

And again he sent to them another servant; and they gave him wounds on the head, and were very cruel to him.

And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.
