Luke 20:10-12
20:10 When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed.
20:11 So he sent another slave. They beat this one too, treated him outrageously, and sent him away empty-handed.
20:12 So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.
