'Vineyard' in the Bible

'For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,

and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

and to these he said, Go ye -- also ye -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;

they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye -- ye also -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.

And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last -- unto the first.

'And what think ye? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.'

'Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.

and having taken him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him;

whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?'

They say to him, 'Evil men -- he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'

And he began to speak to them in similes: 'A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-wine-vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;

and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,

and having taken him, they did kill, and cast him forth without the vineyard.

'What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

And he spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

And he began to speak unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,

and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send him away empty.

And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son -- the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;

and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?

He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, 'Let it not be!'

who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat?
