He replied, "Any plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

Listen to another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a wine-vat inside it, and built a watchtower: then he leased it to vinedressers and went abroad.

Then he proceeded to address them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a trough for the winepress, and built a tower; then he leased it to vinedressers and went abroad.

And he told this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; he came in search of fruit on it but he found none.

The Lord said, "If you had faith the size of a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Then he proceeded to tell the people the following parable. "A man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went abroad for some time.

So neither planter nor waterer counts, but God alone who makes the seed grow.

Still, though planter and waterer are on the same level, each will get his own wage for the special work that he has done.

We work together in God's service; you are God's field to be planted, God's house to be built.
