³³ Hear another parable. There was a certain housemaster who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and rented it to vinedressers, and went into a far country. ³⁴ And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers to receive its fruits. ³⁵ And the vinedressers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them. ³⁷ But last of all he sent his son to them, saying, They will respect my son. ³⁸ But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and get hold of his inheritance. ³⁹ And taking him, they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. ⁴⁰ Therefore when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers? ⁴¹ They said to Him, Bad men! He will miserably destroy them and will rent out his vineyard to other vinedressers who will give him the fruits in their seasons.

⁶ He also spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard. And he came and sought fruit on it, and found none. ⁷ And he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down, why does it encumber the ground? ⁸ And answering, he said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure. ⁹ And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.

¹ For the kingdom of Heaven is like a man, a housemaster, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. ² And when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. ³ And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. ⁴ And he said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went. ⁵ And he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise. ⁶ And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all day idle? ⁷ They said to him, Because no one has hired us. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and you shall receive whatever is right. ⁸ So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and pay them their wage, beginning from the last to the first. ⁹ And when they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each one received a denarius. ¹⁰ But when the first came, they supposed that they would received more; and they also each one received a denarius. ¹¹ And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, ¹² saying, These last have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and heat of the day. ¹³ But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? ¹⁴ Take yours, and go; I will give to this last one the same as to you. ¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few are chosen.
