33 Hear another parable. There was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug in it a winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive his fruits.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they dealt with them in the same manner.
37 And afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.
38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.
39 And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 They say to him, He will bring those wicked men to a miserable end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their season.

Matthew 21:33-41
Luke 13:6-9
6 He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a figtree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he to the vinedresser, Lo! three years I have come seeking fruit on this figtree, and have found none; cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;
9 and if it bear fruit hereafter, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
Matthew 20:1-16
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 And having agreed with the laborers for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace;
4 and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, I will give you. And they went.
5 Again going out about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise.
6 And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
8 And when evening came, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their pay, beginning with the last, and going on to the first.
9 And they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, and received each a denary.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they too received each a denary.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the householder,
12 saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 But he answering said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a denary?
14 Take thy due, and go. But I will give to this last even as to thee.
15 Am I not free to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 Thus the last will be first, and the first, last. And as
