Matthew 21:34 Context
32For Iohn came vnto you in the way of righteousnesse, and ye beleeued him not: but the Publicanes and the harlots beleeued him. And ye when ye had seene it, repented not afterward, that ye might beleeue him. 33¶ Heare another parable. There was a certaine house-holder, which planted a Uineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-presse in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a farre countrey. 34And when the time of the fruite drew neere, he sent his seruants to the husbandmen, that they might receiue the fruits of it. 35And the husbandmen tooke his seruants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36Againe hee sent other seruants, moe then the first, and they did vnto them likewise.
