if the disciple fare as well as his master, and the servant as his lord, is not that sufficient? if they style the master of the house Beelzebub, much more will they call his domestics so.

so the servants of the yeoman came and said, Sir, did not you sow your field with good grain: how comes it then to have tares?

they reply'd, yes, Lord. then said he to them, thus every teacher who is instructed in the doctrine of the gospel, is like the master of a family, who taketh out of his treasure things new and old.

For the kingdom of the Messiah is like a family, the master whereof went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard.

Hear another parable: a certain landlord planted a vineyard, hedged it round, set up a wine-press in it, and built a tower, then lett it out to tenants, and went into a foreign country.

when once the master of the family is enter'd in, and has fastned the door, you will stand without beating at the door, and cry, Lord, Lord, let us in: but he will answer, you are strangers to me.

and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house: "thus saith our master; where is the chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"

if the master of a house knew at what hour the thief would come, no doubt he would be on his guard, and not suffer him to break into his house.

and say to the man of the house, our master sent to ask for a room, where he may eat the passover with his disciples.
