Come on, let us kill him [and destroy the evidence], and his inheritance will be ours!' 8"So they took him and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard. 9"What will the owner of the vineyard do?

and him they killed; either with the sword, or by inflicting some capital punishment, as stoning, strangling, c.

and many others that is, either the owner of the vineyard sent many other servants, or the husbandmen ill used many others that were sent to them:

beating some; with their hands, or with scourges;

and killing some; in one or other of the above ways.
