The master said the wild branches had taken hold of the moisture from the root of the tree. In other words, the Gentile Christians were thriving on the scripture containing the revelations of God. The master of the vineyard then wanted to see how the young and tender branches, which had been cut off from the mother tree, were progressing in the "nethermost" regions to which they had been transplanted. It was found that the first transplant had brought forth much fruit and it was good. The master was delighted and instructed his servant to reap the harvest and preserve the fruit.
