“Again,
The landowner sent
Other slaves,
More than the first time.
The tenants did the same
To them.”
πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους πλείονας τῶν πρώτων, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς ὡσαύτως.
This parable of the wicked tenants can be found in Mark, chapter 12:4-5, and Luke, chapter 20:11-12, but there were multiple occasions with individual slaves in both these accounts, instead of the multiple slaves here on just one occasion. This landowner sent more slaves (πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους) this second time around. This time, there was more than the 3 like the first time (πλείονας τῶν πρώτων), without any indication of how many. However, the wicked tenants did the same thing to them (καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς ὡσαύτως) that they had done to the first group of slaves, once again without being specific.
