Luke 20:9-12
The Vineyard Owner Prepared an Excellent Place
- Planted Vineyard
- Rented to Farmers
- Went Away for a Long Time
- Sent Servant(s) for Profit-Sharing
Vineyard Tenants Violently Violated Their Stewardship Agreement
- First Servant: Beaten and Sent Away without Payment
- Second Servant: Beaten, Treated Shamefully, and Sent Away without Payment
- Third Servant: Wounded and Thrown Out
He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.”
