'Into a Far Country' in the Bible
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country:
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country.
And not many days later the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time.
