And when
they drew nigh
unto
Jerusalem
, and
were come
to
Bethphage
, unto
the mount
of Olives
, then
sent
Jesus
two
disciples
,
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
.
And if
any man
say
ought
unto you
, ye shall say
,
The Lord
hath
need
of them
; and
straightway
he will send
them
.
All this
was done
, that
it might be fulfilled
which
was spoken
by
the prophet
, saying
,
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
.
And the disciples
went
, and
did
as
Jesus
commanded
them
,
And brought the ass
, and
the colt
, and
put
on
them
their
clothes
, and
they set
him thereon
.
And a very great
multitude
spread
their
garments
in
the way
; others
cut down
branches
from
the trees
, and
strawed
them in
the way
.
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
.
And when he
was come
into
Jerusalem
, all
the city
was moved
, saying
, Who
is
this
?
And the multitude
said
, This
is
Jesus
the prophet
of
Nazareth
of Galilee
.
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
,
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
.
And the blind
and
the lame
came
to him
in
the temple
; and
he healed
them
.
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
,
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
?
And he left
them
, and went
out of
the city
into
Bethany
; and
he lodged
there
.
Now in the morning
as he returned
into
the city
, he hungered
.
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
.
And when the disciples
saw
it , they marvelled
, saying
, How
soon
is the fig tree
withered away
!
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
.
And all things
, whatsoever
ye shall ask
in
prayer
, believing
, ye shall receive
.
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
?
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
.
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
?
But if
we shall say
, Of
men
; we fear
the people
; for
all
hold
John
as
a prophet
.
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
.
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
.
He answered and said
, I will
not
: but
afterward
he repented
, and went
.
And he came
to the second
, and said
likewise
. And
he answered
and said
, I
go , sir
: and
went
not
.
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
.
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
.
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
:
And when
the time
of the fruit
drew near
, he sent
his
servants
to
the husbandmen
, that they might receive
the fruits
of it
.
And the husbandmen
took
his
servants
, and beat
one
,
and
killed
another
, and
stoned
another
.
Again, he sent
other
servants
more
than the first
: and
they did
unto them
likewise
.
But last of all
he sent
unto
them
his
son
, saying
, They will reverence
my
son
.
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
.
And they caught
him
, and cast
him out of
the vineyard
, and
slew
him .
When the lord
therefore
of the vineyard
cometh
, what
will he do
unto those
husbandmen
?
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
.
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
?
Therefore say I
unto you
,
The kingdom
of God
shall be taken
from
you
, and
given
to a nation
bringing forth
the fruits
thereof
.
And whosoever shall fall
on
this
stone
shall be broken
: but
on
whomsoever
it shall fall
, it will grind
him
to powder
.
And when the chief priests
and
Pharisees
had heard
his
parables
, they perceived
that
he spake
of
them
.
But when they sought
to lay hands
on him
, they feared
the multitude
, because
they took
him
for
a prophet
.
