Matthew 21:35-38 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

35. And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned.

36. Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them.

37. So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38. But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’
