[Yesus bercerita tentang penggarap-penggarap kebun anggur yang jahat] Setelah itu, Yesus menceritakan lagi sebuah cerita kiasan kepada mereka. Ia berkata, “Ada seorang laki-laki. Ia menanam anggur di kebunnya dan memagari kebun itu. Lalu ia menggali lubang untuk alat pemeras anggur, kemudian mendirikan sebuah menara jaga. Sesudah itu, ia menyewakan kebun anggur itu kepada penggarap-penggarap lalu berangkat ke luar negeri. Apabila kebun itu sudah menghasilkan buah anggur, ia akan menerima bagiannya.
