And after working the earth of it with a spade, he took away its stones, and put in it a very special vine; and he put up a watchtower in the middle of it, hollowing out in the rock a place for the grape-crushing; and he was hoping that it would give the best grapes, but it gave common grapes.

Και περιεφραξεν αυτον, και συνηθροισεν εξ αυτου τους λιθους και εφυτευσεν αυτον με τα πλεον εκλεκτα κληματα και εκτισε πυργον εν τω μεσω αυτου και κατεσκευασεν ετι ληνον εν αυτω και περιεμενε να καμη σταφυλια, αλλ' εκαμεν αγριοσταφυλα.

And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
