Jesus Christ » History of » Enunciates » The parable of the wicked husbandmen (in jerusalem)
AND he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. And in the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. But they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. read more.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and they cut the account short with him, by stoning him, and sent him away shamefully treated. And again he sent another; and him, they slew; and many others, some of whom they beat, and others they killed. Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son. But these husbandmen said to each other, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give his vineyard to others. Have ye never read this scripture? "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes." And they sought to seize him, and were afraid of the people: for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them: and leaving him, they departed.

Hear another parable: There was a certain man, the master of a family, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and hired it out to husbandmen, and went into a distant country. But when the season for fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive his fruits. And the husbandmen took his servants, one they beat, and another they killed, and a third they stoned. read more.
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they treated them in the same manner. Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance. And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When therefore the master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these husbandmen? They say unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes." Therefore I tell you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation, producing the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken in pieces, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking concerning them. And they sought to apprehend him; but were afraid of the people, for they held him as a prophet.

Then he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and delivered it to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long while. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat, and sent him away empty. And he again sent another servant: and him also they beat, and treating him with indignity, sent him away empty. read more.
And he sent yet a third: and him they also wounded, and cast out. Then said the master of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: probably when they see him, they will shew him respect. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own. So casting him out of the vineyard, they slew him. What then will the master of the vineyard do with these men? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said God forbid. Then he looked on them, and said, What is this then which is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Every one who falleth upon this stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him at that time; and were afraid of the people: for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them.

Jesus Christ » History of » Enunciates » The parable of the marriage banquet (in jerusalem)
And he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many: and sent his servants at supper-time to say to the invited, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all began with one voice to frame excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I must of necessity go and survey it: I pray thee hold me excused. read more.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going to make a trial of them: I pray thee accept my excuse. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. And that servant returning, informed his master of these things. Then the master of the family, being highly incensed, said to his servant, Go out instantly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Sir, it is done as thou orderedst, and yet there is room. And the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and urge them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That not one man of those who were invited shall taste of my supper.

AND Jesus continuing his discourse, spake again to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son: and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come. read more.
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast. But they gave themselves no concern about it, and went their several ways, one to his own farm, and another to his traffick: And the rest seizing his servants, insulted and slew them. Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city. Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy: go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet. So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests. Then the king coming in to look around on the guests, saw there a man who had not put on the wedding garment: and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few elect.

Jesus Christ » History of » Enunciates » The parable of the two sons (in jerusalem)
But what think ye? A man had two sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard. But he answering said, I will not: yet repenting afterwards, he went. And coming to the other, he spake after the same manner, and he replying, said, I go, sir; yet went not. read more.
Which of the two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say unto you, That tax-gatherers and harlots shall go before you into the kingdom of God.
