Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them. And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

When therefore thou doest alms, thou shouldst not sound the trumpet before thee, as hypocrites do in the assemblies, and in the streets, that they might be praised by men.

And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies, And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. And be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your guide, Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call not your father upon earth: for one is your Father, which in the heavens. Nor be ye called leaders, for one is your Leader, Christ. And the greater of you shall be your servant. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself, shall be exalted. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for pretence, praying at great lengths; for this shall ye receive more distingnished judgment.

Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets, Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets. And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers. Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell?

And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is rendered desolate; and a house against a house falls. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how should his kingdom stand ? for ye say by Beelzebul I cast out demons. And if I by Beelzebnl cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast. out? for this shall they be your judges. And if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then has the kingdom of God got beforehand to you. When the strong, completely armed, should watch his court-yard, his possessions are in peace : And when a stronger than he, having come, conquers him, he takes away his complete armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils. He not being with me is against me : and he not gathering with me scatters. When the unclean spirit comes out from a man, he passes through places wanting water, seeking rest; and not finding, he says, I will return to my house whence I came out.

And it was in his speaking these things, a certain woman of the crowd, having lifted up the voice, said to him, Happy the womb having borne thee, and breasts thou didst suck. And he said, Rather, happy they hearing the word of God, and watching it. And crowds being collected, he began to say, This is an evil generation: it seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall be the Son of man to this generation. The queen of the south shall be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, more than Solomon here. The Ninevite men shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they repented at the proclamation of Jonas; and, behold, more than Jonas here. And none, having lighted a lamp, puts in secret, neither under a bushel, but upon the chandelier, that they coming in should see the light. The light of the body is the eye; when therefore thine eye be plain, also thy whole body is clear: and when it be evil, also thy body dark. Take heed therefore lest the light in thee be darkness. If therefore thy whole body clear, not having any part dark, the whole shall be clear, as when a lamp enlightens thee with its gleam. And in the speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him: and having come in he reclined. And the Pharisee having seen, wondered that he was not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and trencher; and your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. O foolish, has not he having made the outside, also made the inside? But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as concealed tombs, and men walking above know not. And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered. And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is rendered desolate; and a house against a house falls. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how should his kingdom stand ? for ye say by Beelzebul I cast out demons. And if I by Beelzebnl cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast. out? for this shall they be your judges. And if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then has the kingdom of God got beforehand to you.
