Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:

But he that had received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

And he began to speak to them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

He is like a man who built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

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

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

That ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from lewdness: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Fare ye well.

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

For it is better, if the will of God is so, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
