'Vineyard' in the Bible

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

and to those he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ And so they went.

They *said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He *said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’

“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard *said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.’

“But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’

“Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?”

They *said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”

And He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and put a wall around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.

And He began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree which had been 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 rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’

So 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 these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”

Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?
