Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were
come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then
sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against
you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a
colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say,
The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will
send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King
cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and
a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded
them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them
their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments
in the way; others cut down branches from the trees,
and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David:
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city
was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet
of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast
out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and
overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the
seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall
be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a
den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the
temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the
wonderful things that he did, and the children crying
in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of
David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say?
And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read,
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast
perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city,
he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to
it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and
said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward
for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled,
saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall
not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but
also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be
done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief
priests and the elders of the people came unto him as
he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest
thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will
ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like
wise will tell you by what authority I do these
things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven,
or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying,
If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us,
Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people;
for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell.
And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what
authority I do these things.
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and
he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day
in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he
repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And
he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father?
They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the
harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of
righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the
publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when
ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might
believe him.
33 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:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent
his servants to the husbandmen, that they might
receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat
one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first:
and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,
They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said
among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill
him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the
vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh,
what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other
husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in
their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the
scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the corner: this is
the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall
be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing
forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be
broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard
his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they
feared the multitude, because they took him for a
prophet.
