Joshua tells the parables again
Joshua tells the parable of the two sons
8 And he began to speak unto them by parables saying But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.
9 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
10 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
11 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Joshua saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
12 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 had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Joshua tells the parable of the wicked farmers
13 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
14 And at the season of the fruit drew near he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. but the husbandmen caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
15 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
16 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
17 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
18 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
19 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
20 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
21 And he beheld them, and said, unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
22 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
23 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Joshua tells the parable of the wedding feast
24 And Joshua answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
25 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
26 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
27 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
28 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
29 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
30 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
31Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
32 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
33 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
34 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
35 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
36 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
37 For many are called, but few are chosen. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
38 They sought to lay hands on him the same hour, but feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet and they left him, and went their way.
8 And he began to speak unto them by parables saying But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.
9 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
10 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
11 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Joshua saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
