tenant farmers so that they might work it and he might collect the

him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him,
all but killing him. The servant went back and told his master. The
master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them.' He sent another
servant. The tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son
and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my son.' Because the
tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard, they
seized him and killed him. Let

and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the
inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and
the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the
female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a
hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness
in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom." |
