'Vineyard' in the Bible
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man--the master of the house--who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
And [after] coming to an agreement with the workers for a denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And to those [people] he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.'
They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go also into the vineyard.'
And [when] evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last up to the first.'
"Now what do you think? A man had two sons. [He] approached the first [and] said, 'Son, go work in the vineyard today.'
"Listen to another parable: There was a man--a master of a house--who planted a vineyard, and put a fence [around] it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
And they seized him [and] threw [him] out of the vineyard and killed [him].
Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?"
They said to him, "He will destroy those evil [men] completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season."
And he began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence [around it], and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect [some] of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers.
And they seized [and] killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others.
And he told this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find [any].
And he began to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time.
And at the proper time he sent a slave to the tenant farmers, so that they would give him [some] of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenant farmers sent him away empty-handed [after] beating [him].
So the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'
And they threw him out of the vineyard [and] killed [him]. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
He will come and destroy those tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others." And [when they] heard [this], they said, "[May this] never happen!"
Who ever serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who shepherds a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?
