Book 40 Matthew Chapter 021

 

021:001And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,

 

021:002Saying 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.

 

021:003And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
need of them; and straightway he will send them.

 

021:004All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,

 

021:005Tell 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.

 

021:006And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

 

021:007And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon.

 

021:008And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in
the way.

 

021:009And 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.

 

021:010And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?

 

021:011And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.

 

021:012And 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,

 

021:013And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

 

021:014And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.

 

021:015And 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,

 

021:016And 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?

 

021:017And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
he lodged there.

 

021:018Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

 

021:019And 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.

 

021:020And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!

 

021:021Jesus 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.

 

021:022And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
ye shall receive.

 

021:023And 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?

 

021:024And 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.

 

021:025The 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?

 

021:026But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
John as a prophet.

 

021:027And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said
unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.

 

021:028But 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.

 

021:029He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.

 

021:030And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir: and went not.

 

021:031Whether 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.

 

021:032For 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.

 

021:033Hear 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:

 

021:034And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

 

021:035And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.

 

021:036Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them likewise.

 

021:037But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son.

 

021:038But 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.

 

021:039And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him.

 

021:040When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
do unto those husbandmen?

 

021:041They 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.

 

021:042Jesus 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?

 

021:043Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.

 

021:044And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

 

021:045And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

 

021:046But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
