And He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge round it, and dug a wine-trough; and built a tower, and he gave it out to husbandmen, and went away. And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard: and they taking him, beat him, and sent him away empty. read more.
And again he sent to them another servant; and stoning him they wounded him in the head, and sent him away dishonored. And again he sent another; and they slew him, and many others beating some, killing others. Then having still one son, his own beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying; That they will reverence my son. And those husbandmen said to one another; This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. And taking him they slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What then shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read the Scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? And they were seeking to arrest Him; and they feared the multitude; for they knew that He spoke the parable against them. And leaving Him they went away.

Hear ye another parable. A man was a landlord, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a wine-trough in it, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away. And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits; and the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, and stoned another. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. And afterward he sent to them his own son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of his inheritance. And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him. Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen? They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says, Have you not read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I say unto you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. OMITTED TEXT And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing His parables, knew that He speaks concerning them. And seeking to arrest Him, they feared the multitudes, since they held Him as a prophet.

And He began to speak to the people this parable, A man planted a vineyard and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away a long time. And in season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard, and the husbandmen beating him, sent him away empty. And he proceeded to send to them another servant, and they beating and dishonoring him sent him away empty. read more.
And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence him. And the husbandmen, seeing him, reasoned among themselves saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, in order that the inheritance may be ours. And casting him out from the vineyard they slew him; what then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing, they said, Let it not be so. And looking upon them, He said, What is that which has been written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner. Every one having fallen on that stone will be dashed to pieces; and on whomsoever it may fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands on Him at this hour, and feared the people; for they knew that He spoke this parable against them.

And He said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many; and at the hour, of the supper he sent his servants to say to those who were invited, Come; because they are now ready. And they all of one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a farm, and I have need having gone to see it: I pray thee have me excused. read more.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove the same: I intreat thee have me excused. Another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I am not able to come. And the servant coming, announced these things to his lord. Then the land-lord being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and lead in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou didst command, and yet there is room. And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, in order that my house may be filled: for I say unto you, that no one of these men who have been invited shall taste of my supper.

And Jesus responding, again spoke to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a king-man, who made a marriage for his son. And he sent his servants to invite those who had been called to the marriage: and they were not willing to come. read more.
And again he sent other servants, saying; Speak to those who have been called, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatling are slain, and all things are ready: come to the marriage. And they being careless, went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise: but the rest, taking his servants, insulted, and slew them. And the king was angry; and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their cities. Then he says to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those having been invited were not worthy. Go ye therefore to crossings of the roads, and so many as you may find, invite to the marriage. And those servants having gone out into the ways, led in all whom they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests. And the king having come in to look upon the guests, saw there a man not having on a wedding-garment. And he says to him, Comrade, how did you come in hither, not having the wedding-garment? And he was silent. Then the king said to the servants, Having bound him feet and hands, cast him into the darkness which is without; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth. For many are called, but few elected.
