“And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.”
Cross references: : Isa. 5:1 ; Jer. 2:2 ; Matt. 21:33 ; Luke 20:9 The calling of God is not tied either to place, person, or time, without exception. This word Parable, which the Evangelists use, doth not only signify a comparing of things together, but also dark speeches and allegories.
