And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

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.

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

Jesus saith 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?

And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
