Chapter 11  
     
1.
 Jesus said, There was a good man who owned a vineyard.
 
2.
 He leased it to tenant farmers so that they might work it and he might collect the produce from them.
 
3.
 He sent his servant so that the tenants might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him, all but killing him.
 
4.
 The servant went back and told his master. The master said, Perhaps they did not recognize him. He sent another servant. The tenants beat this one as well.
 
5.
 Then the owner sent his son and said, Perhaps they will show respect to my son.
 
6.
 Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Whoever has ears, let them hear!
  
7.
 Jesus said, Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That one is the cornerstone.
  
8.
 Jesus said, Whoever believes that the All itself is deficient is himself completely deficient.
  
9.
 Jesus said, Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have been persecuted they will find no Place.
  
10.
 Jesus said, Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves.
 
11.
 It is they who have truly come to know the Father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled.
  
12.
 Jesus said, If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
 
13.
 If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
