Therefore thus saith the Lord - As surely as I have allotted such a vine branch, or vine branches, for fuel; so surely have I appointed the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be consumed.
The design of this parable is to abate the pride of the Jews; to show them that, in their best estate, they had nothing but what they had received, and therefore deserved nothing; and now, having fallen from all righteousness, they can have no expectation of any thing but judgment unmixed with mercy. |
13 Ye [5210] are [2075] the salt [217] of the earth [1093]: but [1161] if [1437] the salt [217] have lost his savour [3471], wherewith [1722] [5101] shall it be salted [233]? it is thenceforth [2089] good [2480] for [1519] nothing [3762], but [1508] to be cast [906] out [1854], and [2532] to be trodden under foot [2662] of [5259] men [444].
10 And [1161] now [2235] also [2532] the axe [513] is laid [2749] unto [4314] the root [4491] of the trees [1186]: therefore [3767] every [3956] tree [1186] which bringeth [4160] not [3361] forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590] is hewn down [1581], and [2532] cast [906] into [1519] the fire [4442].
6 He spake [3004] also [1161] this [5026] parable [3850]; A certain [5100] man had [2192] a fig tree [4808] planted [5452] in [1722] his [846] vineyard [290]; and [2532] he came [2064] and sought [2212] fruit [2590] thereon [1722] [846], and [2532] found [2147] none [3756].
7 Then [1161] said he [2036] unto [4314] the dresser of his vineyard [289], Behold [2400], these three [5140] years [2094] I come [2064] seeking [2212] fruit [2590] on [1722] this [5026] fig tree [4808], and [2532] find [2147] none [3756]: cut [1581] it [846] down [1581]; why [2444] [2532] cumbereth [2673] it [846] the ground [1093]?
8 And [1161] he answering [611] said [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], let [863] it [846] alone [863] this [5124] year [2094] also [2532], till [2193] [3755] I shall dig [4626] about [4012] it [846], and [2532] dung [906] [2874] it:
9 And if [2579] [3303] it bear [4160] fruit [2590], well: and if not [1490], then after that [1519] [3195] thou shalt cut [1581] it [846] down [1581].
12 And [2532] on the morrow [1887], when they [846] were come [1831] from [575] Bethany [963], he was hungry [3983]:
13 And [2532] seeing [1492] a fig tree [4808] afar off [3113] having [2192] leaves [5444], he came [2064], if [1487] haply [686] he might find [2147] any thing [5100] thereon [1722] [846]: and [2532] when he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], he found [2147] nothing [3762] but [1508] leaves [5444]; for [1063] the time [2540] of figs [4810] was [2258] not [3756] yet.
14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto it [846], No man [3367] eat [5315] fruit [2590] of [1537] thee [4675] hereafter [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] it.
30 And [2532] cast ye [1544] the unprofitable [888] servant [1401] into [1519] outer [1857] darkness [4655]: there [1563] shall be [2071] weeping [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599].
33 Hear [191] another [243] parable [3850]: There was [2258] a certain [444] [5100] householder [3617], which [3748] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] hedged [5418] it [846] round about [4060], and [2532] digged [3736] a winepress [3025] in [1722] it [846], and [2532] built [3618] a tower [4444], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] out [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589]:
34 And [1161] when [3753] the time [2540] of the fruit [2590] drew near [1448], he sent [649] his [846] servants [1401] to [4314] the husbandmen [1092], that they might receive [2983] the fruits [2590] of it [846].
35 And [2532] the husbandmen [1092] took [2983] his [846] servants [1401], and beat [1194] one [3739], [3303] and [1161] killed [615] another [3739], and [1161] stoned [3036] another [3739].
36 Again [3825], he sent [649] other [243] servants [1401] more [4119] than the first [4413]: and [2532] they did [4160] unto them [846] likewise [5615].
37 But [1161] last of all [5305] he sent [649] unto [4314] them [846] his [846] son [5207], saying [3004], They will reverence [1788] my [3450] son [5207].
38 But [1161] when the husbandmen [1092] saw [1492] the son [5207], they said [2036] among [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] is [2076] the heir [2818]; come [1205], let us kill [615] him [846], and [2532] let us seize [2722] on his [846] inheritance [2817].
39 And [2532] they caught [2983] him [846], and cast [1544] him out of [1854] the vineyard [290], and [2532] slew [615] him.
40 When [3752] the lord [2962] therefore [3767] of the vineyard [290] cometh [2064], what [5101] will he do [4160] unto those [1565] husbandmen [1092]?
41 They say [3004] unto him [846], He will miserably [2560] destroy [622] those [846] wicked men [2556], and [2532] will let out [1554] his vineyard [290] unto other [243] husbandmen [1092], which [3748] shall render [591] him [846] the fruits [2590] in [1722] their [846] seasons [2540].
