Gospel of Thomas 65 in English and Udugi
Saying 65: The Parable of the Sharecroppers
He said, "A good man owned a vineyard. He leased it out to some sharecroppers to work it so he could collect its fruit.
"He sent his servant so that the sharecroppers could give him the fruit of the vineyard. They seized his servant, beat him, and nearly killed him.
"The servant went back and told his master. His master said, 'Maybe they just didn't know him.' He sent another servant, but the tenants beat that one too.
"Then the master sent his son, thinking, 'Maybe they'll show some respect to my son.'
"Because they knew that he was the heir of the vineyard, the sharecroppers seized and killed him. Anyone who has ears to hear should hear!"
