Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.

γεωργοὺς geōrgous “farmers”

And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.

But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?

They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.
