And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers to receive its fruits.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance;

You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

They said to Him, Bad men! He will miserably destroy them and will rent out his vineyard to other vinedressers who will give him the fruits in their seasons.

Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing out its fruits.

But many who are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few are chosen.
