1. Jesus used stories to teach the people. He said, “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around the field and dug a hole for a winepress. Then he built a tower. He leased the land to some farmers and left for a trip.
2. “Later, it was time for the grapes to be picked. So the man sent a servant to the farmers to get his share of the grapes.
3. But the farmers grabbed the servant and beat him. They sent him away with nothing.
4. Then the man sent another servant to the farmers. They hit this servant on the head, showing no respect for him.
5. So the man sent another servant. The farmers killed this servant. The man sent many other servants to the farmers. The farmers beat some of them and killed the others.
