'Far Country' in the Bible

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
