Matthew 21:32-34
The Voice
32 John came to show you the straight path, the path to righteousness. You did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. Even as you saw the prostitutes and the tax collectors forgiven and washed clean, finding their footing on the straight path to righteousness, still you did not change your ways and believe.
33 Here is another story: A landowner planted a vineyard, put a wall around it, fitted it with a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard and left town. 34 When harvesttime came, the landowner sent his servants to collect rent—in the form of grapes—from his tenants.
Matthew 21:32-34
New International Version
32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,(A) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors(B) and the prostitutes(C) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent(D) and believe him.
The Parable of the Tenants(E)
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted(F) a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.(G) Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.(H) 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants(I) to the tenants to collect his fruit.
