But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they shall fast. 16 No man puts a piece of new cloth on an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up pulls from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old wineskins: else the wineskins break, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins perish: but they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

• Matt 13:3-9 : 3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where there was not much soil, and they immediately sprang up because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good soil and yielded a crop—some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And the disciples came to Him and asked, Why do You speak to them in parables? 11 He replied, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
• Matt 20:1-9 : 1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said to them, Go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. So they went. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why do you stand here all day idle? 7 They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard; and whatever is right, that you shall receive. 8 So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first. 9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed they would receive more; and they likewise each received a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they grumbled against the master of the house, 12 Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not agree with me for a penny? 14 Take what is yours, and go your way: I will give to this last, even as to you. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.
• Matt 21:28-46 : 28 But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented and went. 30 And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; but he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax collectors and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and harlots believed him, and when you had seen it, you did not afterward repent and believe him. 33 Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and hedged it around, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and leased it to vine dressers, and went into a far country. 34 And when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the vine dressers, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the vine dressers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they did likewise to them. 37 But last of all, he sent his son to them, saying, They will respect my son. 38 But when the vine dressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine dressers? 41 They said to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will lease his vineyard to other vine dressers who will render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? 43 Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation producing its fruits. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them. 46 But when they sought to seize him, they feared the multitude because they considered him a prophet.
