Jacob 5:19 - Jacob 5:22
Duration: 1:18
Jacob 5:19
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto the servant:
Come, let us go to the nethermost part of the vineyard,
and behold if the natural branches of the tree
have not brought forth much fruit also,
that I may lay up of the fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self.
Jacob 5:20
And it came to pass that they went forth
whither the master had hid the natural branches of the tree,
and he said unto the servant:
Behold these;
and he beheld the first that it had brought forth much fruit;
and he beheld also that it was good.
And he said unto the servant:
Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up against the season,
that I may preserve it unto mine own self;
for behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it,
and it hath brought forth much fruit.
Jacob 5:21
And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master:
How comest thou hither to plant this tree, or this branch of the tree?
For behold, it was the poorest spot in all the land of thy vineyard.
Jacob 5:22
And the Lord of the vineyard said unto him:
Counsel me not;
I knew that it was a poor spot of ground;
wherefore, I said unto thee, I have nourished it this long time,
and thou beholdest that it hath brought forth much fruit.
