And when the fruit-season drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it:

Ye will know them by their fruits: do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

So then by their fruits ye will know them.

Bring forth therefore fruits becoming: penitents: and do not say within your selves,

They answer, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

Therefore I tell you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation, that will bring forth the fruits thereof.

But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.

Is thine eye evil because I am good? Thus the last shall be first, and the first last; for there are many called, but few chosen.
