Luke 20:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:11

And again he sent another servant
Or set of prophets in after times, and yet before the Babylonish captivity:

and they beat him also;
as they had done the other; they continued in their malpractices, yea increased in them:

and entreated him shamefully;
putting him to open shame, using him in a very ignominious and shameful manner, which it was a shame to relate, and which was shameful for them to do:

and sent him away empty;
as they had done the other.

Luke 20:11 In-Context

9 And he began to speak this parable to the people: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen and went into a far country for a long time.

10 And at the season he sent a slave to the husbandmen that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard, but the husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty.

11 And again he sent another slave, and they beat him also and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty.

12 And again he sent a third, and they wounded him also and cast him out.

13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
