Matthew 21:32-34
1599 Geneva Bible
32 For John came unto you in the [a]way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the Publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye though ye saw it, were not moved with repentance afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 ¶ [b]Hear another parable, There was a certain householder, (A)which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepress therein, and [c]built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange country.
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive the fruits thereof.
