Contemporary English Version

Renters of a Vineyard

(Matthew 21.33-46; Mark 12.1-12)

^9 (A) Jesus told the people this story:

A man once planted a vineyard and rented it out. Then he left the country for a long time. ¹⁰ When it was time to harvest the crop, he sent a servant to ask the renters for his share of the grapes. But they beat up the servant and sent him away without anything. ¹¹ So the owner sent another servant. The renters also beat him up. They insulted him terribly and sent him away without a thing.
