Matius 21:35-36

21:35 But the tenants seized his slaves, beat one, ¹  killed another, and stoned another. 21:36 Again he sent other slaves, more than the first, and they treated them the same way.

[21:35]  ¹ sn The image of the tenants mistreating the owner’s slaves pictures the nation’s rejection of the prophets and their message.
