Luke [White-light] 20:5-13

⁵They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John Yah is gracious was a prophet.”

⁷They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

⁸Yeshua Salvation said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

⁹He began to tell the people this parable. “A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

¹⁰At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

¹¹He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

¹²He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

¹³The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my agapetos ·beloved, esteemed· son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
