But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other 'Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.'
When the time for the vintage drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
As a last resource he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said.
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.

has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
