Luke 20:9-12 Part 2 of 2

Now Jesus turned to the people again and told them this story: "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and moved to another country to live for several years. At the time of the grape harvest, he sent one of his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers attacked the servant, beat him up, and sent him back empty-handed. So the owner sent another servant, but they also insulted him, beat him up, and sent him away empty-handed. A third man was sent, and they wounded him and chased him away."

"So the owner sent another servant, but they also insulted him, beat him up, and sent him away empty-handed."

Mark 12:4  "The owner then sent another servant, but they insulted him and beat him over the head."

Matthew 22:5-6  "But the guests he had invited (see verses 3-4) ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them." (see verses 1-14)

 

"A third man was sent, and they wounded him and chased him away." 

Matthew 21:36  "So the landowner sent a larger group of his servants to collect for him, but the results were the same."

Mark 12:5  "The next servant he sent was killed. Others he sent were either beaten or killed,..."

Jeremiah 27:15  They were furious with Jeremiah and had him flogged and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary. Jonathan's house had been converted into a prison. 

Jeremiah 38:6  So the officials took Jeremiah from his cell and lowered him by ropes into an empty cistern in the prison yard. It belonged to Malkijah, a member of the royal family. There was no water in the cistern, but there was a thick layer of mud at the bottom, and Jeremiah sank down into it. (see chapters 37:1-40:6)

Acts 5:38-41  "So my (Gamaliel's, an expert in religious law) advice is, leave these men alone. Let them go. If they are planning and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown. But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God!" The others accepted his advice. They called in the apostles and had them flogged. Then they ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and they let them go. The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus. (see verses 17-42)
