³⁴ When it was time for the grapes to be picked, he sent his ·servants [slaves] to the farmers to get his share of the grapes. ³⁵ But the farmers grabbed the ·servants [slaves], beat one, killed another, and then ·killed a third servant with stones [^Lstoned a third]. ³⁶ So the man sent some other ·servants [slaves] to the farmers, even more than he sent the first time. But the farmers did the same thing to them that they had done before [^Cthe servants represent the prophets God sent to Israel].
