33 ^a“Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted ^ba vineyard ^cand put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and ^dleased it to tenants, and ^ewent into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants ^{▼▼Greek bondservants; also verses 35, 36} to the tenants ^gto get his fruit. 35 ^hAnd the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and ⁱstoned another. 36 ^jAgain he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ^k‘This is the heir. Come, ^llet us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and ^mthrew him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 ⁿWhen therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, ^o“He will put those wretches to a miserable death and ^plet out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”

Matthew 23:31-37

31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are ^qsons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 ^rFill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, ^syou brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to ^thell? 34 ^uTherefore ^vI send you ^wprophets and wise men and ^xscribes, ^ysome of whom you will kill and crucify, and ^zsome you will ^aaflog in your synagogues and ^abpersecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all ^acthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous ^adAbel to the blood of ^aeZechariah the son of Barachiah, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit the son of Barachiah} whom you murdered between ^agthe sanctuary and ^ahthe altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, ^aiall these things will come upon this generation.

Lament over Jerusalem

37 ^aj“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^akkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have ^algathered ^amyour children together ^anas a hen gathers her brood ^aounder her wings, and ^apyou were not willing!

Luke 13:33

33 Nevertheless, ^aqI ^armust go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that ^asa prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’
