5And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

8And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent away empty.
11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated shamefully, and sent away empty.
