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?”

Matthew 23:29-35

29 ^o“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are ^psons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 ^qFill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, ^ryou brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to ^shell? 34 ^tTherefore ^uI send you ^vprophets and wise men and ^wscribes, ^xsome of whom you will kill and crucify, and ^ysome you will ^zflog in your synagogues and ^aapersecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all ^abthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous ^acAbel to the blood of ^adZechariah the son of Barachiah, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit the son of Barachiah} whom you murdered between ^afthe sanctuary and ^agthe altar.
