"Lord, they killed Your prophets and dug down Your altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life."

Hear another parable. There was a certain housemaster who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and rented it to vinedressers, and went into a far country.

But know this, that if the steward of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.

But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the earth and hid his lord's silver.

And He began to speak to them by parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a fence about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and he let it out to vinedressers, and went away.

He is like a man who built a house and dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock; and a flood occurring, the stream burst against that house and could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.

And answering, he said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure.

And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

How much better is a man then than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

So then he who gives in marriage does well. But he who does not give in marriage does better.

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which was built upon better promises.

For it is better, if the will of God wills it, to suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.

And Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus upon the well. It was about the sixth hour.
