| Matthew 21:35 | But the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) tenants seized his servants; one they severely beat, another they killed, and still another they stoned. |

| Matthew 21:40 | Now when the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) owner of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) vineyard returns, what will he do to (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) those tenants?” |

| Matthew 22:2 | “The (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) kingdom of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) his son |
| Matthew 22:3 | and sent his servants to call those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who had been invited to the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) feast; but they would not come. |
| Matthew 22:4 | Then he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) who have been invited, “See, I have prepared my banquet, my oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) wedding feast.”’ |
| Matthew 22:5 | But they (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) paid no attention and went on their way, one to his farm, another to his business, |
| Matthew 22:6 | while the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. |
| Matthew 22:7 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) king was furious! He sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city to the ground. |
| Matthew 22:8 | Then he said to (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) his servants, ‘The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) wedding feast is ready, but those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) who were invited were not worthy. |
