Mark 12:4
2 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
5 He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
6 Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
