33 Hear ye another parable. A man was a landlord, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a wine-trough in it, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away.
34 And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits;
35 and the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, and stoned another.
36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 And afterward he sent to them his own son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of his inheritance.
39 And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him.
40 Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.

Matthew 21:33-41
Luke 13:6-9
6 And He spoke this parable, A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and came seeking fruit on it and found none;
7 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years from which I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and I find none: cut it down; why indeed does it cumber the ground?
8 And responding he says to him, Lord, let it alone also this year, until I shall dig about it, and cast manures:
9 and if it may bear fruit in the future; and if not you shall cut it down.
Matthew 20:1-16
1 For the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a landlord man, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 And having agreed with the laborers for a denarion per day, sent them into his vineyard.
3 And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the forum:
4 and he said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they departed.
5 Again having gone out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour having gone out, he found others standing; and says to them, Why stand ye here idle all the day?
7 They say to him, Because no one hired us. He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
8 And it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last even unto the first.
9 And those having come about the eleventh hour, received each man a denarion.
10 But the first having come supposed that they shall receive more; and themselves also received each one a denarion.
11 But receiving it, they murmured against the landlord,
12 saying, These labored one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who bore the burden of the day and the heat.
13 But he responding said to one of them, Comrade, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a denarion?
14 Take thine own, and go. I wish to give unto this last one, even as unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do as I wish with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 So the last shall be first, and first last.
