Jacob 3:52 - Jacob 3:62
52 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard looked and beheld the tree, in the which the wild olive branches had been grafted; and it had sprung forth, and begun to bear fruit.
53 And he beheld that it was good: and the fruit thereof was like unto the natural fruit.
54 And he said unto the servant, Behold, the branches of the wild tree hath taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof, that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;
55 And because of the much strength of the root thereof, the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit:
56 Now, if we had not grafted in these branches, the tree thereof would have perished.
57 And now, behold, I shall lay up much fruit, which the tree thereof hath brought forth; and the fruit thereof I shall lay up, against the season, unto mine own self.
58 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto the servant, Come, let us go to the nethermost parts of the vineyard, and behold if the natural branches of the tree hath not brought forth much fruit also, that I may lay up of the fruit thereof, against the season, unto mine own self.
59 And it came to pass that they went forth whither the master of the vineyard had hid the natural branches of the tree, and he said unto the servant, Behold these:
60 And he beheld the first, that it had brought forth much fruit; and he beheld also, that it was good.
61 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;
62 For behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it, and it hath brought forth much fruit.
53 And he beheld that it was good: and the fruit thereof was like unto the natural fruit.
54 And he said unto the servant, Behold, the branches of the wild tree hath taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof, that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;
55 And because of the much strength of the root thereof, the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit:
56 Now, if we had not grafted in these branches, the tree thereof would have perished.
57 And now, behold, I shall lay up much fruit, which the tree thereof hath brought forth; and the fruit thereof I shall lay up, against the season, unto mine own self.
58 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto the servant, Come, let us go to the nethermost parts of the vineyard, and behold if the natural branches of the tree hath not brought forth much fruit also, that I may lay up of the fruit thereof, against the season, unto mine own self.
59 And it came to pass that they went forth whither the master of the vineyard had hid the natural branches of the tree, and he said unto the servant, Behold these:
60 And he beheld the first, that it had brought forth much fruit; and he beheld also, that it was good.
61 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;
62 For behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it, and it hath brought forth much fruit.
