'What shall I do?' asked the owner of the vineyard. 'I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.'Read from NKJV · Do We Have His Blessing
14
But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'Read from NKJV · Do We Have His Blessing

So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?Read from NKJV · Do We Have His Blessing
