«Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: / So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.»
«Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? / And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? / Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.»
«Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: / So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.»
«Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: / Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! / Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? / Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.»
«Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, / Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; / When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; / As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle; / When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; / When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; / When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street! / The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.»
«Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal. A parable.»
