Don't Trust the Georges

"...and he rented it to Georges..."
RE: Luke 20.9-18 : Parable of the Evil Tenants 

For Greek New Testament today we read the Parable of the Evil tenants from Luke. In this parable, a man plants a vineyard and rents it out to some tenant farmers (γεωργοι). "Georgoi" is, incidentally, the origin of the name "George." So, the man rented his vineyard  to some Georges.
