1For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one little measure, and thirty bushels of offspring shall yield three bushels.

9You have brought a vineyard out of Egypt: you have cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.

12It stretched forth its branches to the sea, and its boughs to the river.

13Why have you broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?

14The boar out of the wood has laid it waste: and a singular wild beast has devoured it.

15Turn again, OH God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:

16And perfect the same which your right hand has planted: and upon the Son of Man whom you have confirmed for yourself.

19And we depart not from you, you shall quicken us: and we will call upon your name.

20OH Lord God of hosts, convert us: and show your face, and we shall be saved.

6Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.

7And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8For the rest, brothers and sisters, whatever things are true, whatever modest, whatever righteous, whatever holy, whatever lovely, whatever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.

9The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do you, and the God of peace shall be with you.

33Hear you another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.

34And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.

35And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

36Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.

37And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.

38But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his gift.

39And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

40When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?

41They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.

42Jesus says to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.

43Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
