5And they thought with in them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye from heaven: he will saye: why then beleved ye him not?
6But and yf we shall saye of men all the people will stone vs. For they be persuaded that Ihon is a Prophet.
7And they answered that they coulde not tell whence it was.
8And Iesus sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.
9Then begane he to put forthe to the people this similitude. A certayne man planted a vyneyarde and let it forthe to fermers and went him selfe into a straunge countre for a greate season.
10And when the tyme was come he sent a servaut to his tennauntes that they shuld geve him of the frutes of the vyneyarde. And the tennauntes dyd bet him and sent him awaye empty.
11And agayne he sent yet another servaunt. And they dyd bet him and foule entreated him also and sent him awaye emptye.
12More over he sent the thyrde to and him they wouded and cast out.
13Then sayde the lorde of the vyneyarde: what shall I do? I will sende my deare sonne him peradventure they will reverence when they se him.
