|
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.
