1. Jesus began to speak to the people by using stories. He said, "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it. He dug a pit for a winepress. He also built a lookout tower. He rented the vineyard out to some farmers. Then he went away on a journey.
2. "At harvest time he sent a servant to the renters. He told the servant to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
