Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:

But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard.And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling.And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?So the last shall be first, and the first last.

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to- day in the vineyard.And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner.But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast.And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made.Neither do men put new wine into old wine- skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine- skins, and both are preserved.

And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.He that hath ears, let him hear.And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
