Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and show yourselves to be my disciples.

    33Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

    34When the time came to harvest the fruit, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.

    35But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

    36Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group, but they treated them the same way.

    37Finally, he sent his son to them. 'They will respect my son,' he said.

    38But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance!'

    39So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

    40Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenant farmers?

    41They said to him, 'He will bring those wretches to a miserable end and lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit at the proper times.'

    7But those farmers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

    8So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

    9What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those farmers, and give the vineyard to others.

    1Let me sing now for my beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.

    2He dug it and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a tower in its center and also carved out a winepress in it. He hoped it would produce good grapes, but it yielded only wild ones.

    3Now then, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.

    4What more could I have done for my vineyard than I have already done? Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes, did it yield only wild ones?

    5Now let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled.
