1And[G2532]when[G3753] they drew nigh[G1448]unto[G1519]Jerusalem[G2414], and[G2532] were come[G2064]to[G1519]Bethphage[G967], unto[G4314] the mount[G3735] of Olives[G1636], then[G5119]sent[G649]Jesus[G2424]two[G1417]disciples[G3101],
2Saying[G3004] unto them[G846], Go[G4198]into[G1519] the village[G2968] over against[G561]you[G5216], and[G2532]straightway[G2112] ye shall find[G2147] an ass[G3688]tied[G1210], and[G2532] a colt[G4454]with[G3326]her[G846]: loose[G3089]them[G846], and[G2532]bring[G71]them[G846] unto me[G3427].
3And[G2532]if[G1437] any man[G5100]say[G2036]ought[G5100] unto you[G5213], ye shall say[G2046], The Lord[G2962]hath[G2192]need[G5532] of them[G846]; and[G1161]straightway[G2112] he will send[G649]them[G846].
4All[G1161]this[G5124] was done[G1096], that[G2443] it might be fulfilled[G4137]which[G3588] was spoken[G4483]by[G1223] the prophet[G4396], saying[G3004],
5
Tell ye[G2036] the daughter[G2364] of Sion[G4622], Behold[G2400], thy[G4675]King[G935]cometh[G2064] unto thee[G4671], meek[G4239], and[G2532]sitting[G1910]upon[G1909] an ass[G3688], and[G2532] a colt[G4454] the foal[G5207] of an ass[G5268].
6And[G1161] the disciples[G3101]went[G4198], and[G2532]did[G4160]as[G2531]Jesus[G2424]commanded[G4367]them[G846],
7And[G2532]brought[G71] the ass[G3688], and[G2532] the colt[G4454], and[G2532]put[G2007]on[G1883]them[G846]their[G846]clothes[G2440], and[G2532] they set[G1940] him thereon[G1883].
8And[G1161] a very great[G4118]multitude[G3793]spread[G4766]their[G1438]garments[G2440]in[G1722] the way[G3598]; others[G1161] cut down[G2875]branches[G2798]from[G575] the trees[G1186], and[G2532]strawed[G4766] them in[G1722] the way[G3598].
9And[G1161] the multitudes[G3793] that went before[G4254], and[G2532] that followed[G190], cried[G2896], saying[G3004], Hosanna[G5614] to the Son[G5207] of David[G1138]: Blessed[G2127] is he that cometh[G2064]in[G1722] the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962]; Hosanna[G5614]in[G1722] the highest[G5310].
10And[G2532] when he[G846] was come[G1525]into[G1519]Jerusalem[G2414], all[G3956] the city[G4172] was moved[G4579], saying[G3004], Who[G5101]is[G2076]this?[G3778]
11And[G1161] the multitude[G3793]said[G3004], This[G3778]is[G2076]Jesus[G2424] the prophet[G4396]of[G575]Nazareth[G3478]of[G575]Galilee[G1056].
12And[G2532]Jesus[G2424]went[G1525]into[G1519] the temple[G2411] of God[G2316], and[G2532] cast out[G1544] all them[G3956] that sold[G4453]and[G2532]bought[G59]in[G1722] the temple[G2411], and[G2532]overthrew[G2690] the tables[G5132] of the moneychangers[G2855], and[G2532] the seats[G2515] of them[G3956] that sold[G4453]doves[G4058],
13And[G2532]said[G3004] unto them[G846], It[G846] is written[G1125], My[G3450]house[G3624] shall be called[G2564] the house[G3624] of prayer[G4335]; but[G1161]ye[G5210] have made[G4160]it[G846] a den[G4693] of thieves[G3027].
14And[G2532] the blind[G5185]and[G2532] the lame[G5560]came[G4334] to him[G846]in[G1722] the temple[G2411]; and[G2532] he healed[G2323]them[G846].
15And[G1161] when the chief priests[G749]and[G2532]scribes[G1122]saw[G1492] the wonderful things[G2297]that[G3739] he did[G4160], and[G2532] the children[G3816]crying[G2896]in[G1722] the temple[G2411], and[G2532]saying[G3004], Hosanna[G5614] to the Son[G5207] of David[G1138]; they were sore displeased[G23],
16And[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Hearest thou[G191]what[G5101]these[G3778]say?[G3004]And[G1161]Jesus[G2424]saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Yea[G3483]; have ye never[G3763]read[G314], Out of[G1537] the mouth[G4750]of[G1537]babes[G3516]and[G1161]sucklings[G2337]thou[G191] hast perfected[G2675]praise?[G136]
17And[G2532] he left[G2641]them[G846], and[G2532]went[G1831] out of[G1854] the city[G4172]into[G1519]Bethany[G963]; and[G2532] he lodged[G835]there[G1563].
18Now[G1161] in the morning[G4405] as he returned[G1877]into[G1519] the city[G4172], he hungered[G3983].
19And[G2532] when he saw[G1492]a[G3391] fig tree[G4808]in[G1909] the way[G3598], he came[G2064]to[G1909]it[G846], and[G2532]found[G2147]nothing[G3762]thereon[G1722], but[G1508]leaves[G5444]only[G3440], and[G2532]said[G3004] unto it[G846], Let no[G1096]fruit[G2590]grow[G1096]on[G1537]thee[G4675]henceforward[G3371]for[G1519]ever[G165]. And[G2532]presently[G3916] the fig tree[G4808] withered away[G3583].
20And[G2532] when the disciples[G3101]saw[G1492] it, they marvelled[G2296], saying[G3004], How[G4459]soon[G3916] is the fig tree[G4808] withered away[G3583]!
21Jesus[G2424]answered[G611]and[G1161]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], If[G1437] ye have[G2192]faith[G4102], and[G2532]doubt[G1252]not[G3361], ye shall[G4160]not[G3756]only[G3440]do[G4160]this[G3440] which is done[G1096] to the fig tree[G4808], but[G235] also if[G2579] ye shall[G4160]say[G2036] unto this[G5129]mountain[G3735], Be thou removed[G142], and[G2532] be thou cast[G906]into[G1519] the sea[G2281]; it shall[G4160] be done[G1096].
22And[G2532] all things[G3956], whatsoever[G302] ye shall ask[G154]in[G1722]prayer[G4335], believing[G4100], ye shall receive[G2983].
23And[G2532] when he[G846] was come[G2064]into[G1519] the temple[G2411], the chief priests[G749]and[G2532] the elders[G4245] of the people[G2992]came[G4334] unto him[G846] as he[G846] was teaching[G1321], and[G2532]said[G3004], By[G1722]what[G4169]authority[G1849] doest thou[G4160] these things?[G5023]and[G2532]who[G5101]gave[G1325]thee[G4671]this[G5026]authority?[G1849]
24And[G1161]Jesus[G2424]answered[G611]and[G1161]said[G2036] unto them[G846], I also[G2504] will ask[G2065]you[G5209]one[G1520]thing[G3056], which[G3739]if[G1437] ye tell[G2036]me[G3427], I in like wise[G2504] will tell[G2046]you[G5213]by[G1722]what[G4169]authority[G1849] I do[G4160] these things[G5023].
25
The baptism[G908]of[G1537]John[G2491], whence[G4159] was it?[G2258]from[G1537]heaven[G3772], or[G2228]of[G1537]men?[G444]And[G1161] they reasoned[G1260]with[G3844]themselves[G1438], saying[G3004], If[G1437] we shall say[G2036], From[G1537]heaven[G3772]; he will say[G2046] unto us[G2254], Why[G1302] did ye[G4100]not[G3756]then[G3767]believe[G4100]him?[G846]
26But[G1161]if[G1437] we shall say[G2036], Of[G1537]men[G444]; we fear[G5399] the people[G3793]; for[G1063]all[G3956]hold[G2192]John[G2491]as[G5613] a prophet[G4396].
27And[G2532] they answered[G611]Jesus[G2424], and[G2532]said[G2036], We cannot[G3756]tell[G1492]. And[G2532]he[G846]said[G5346] unto them[G846], Neither[G3761]tell[G3004]I[G1473]you[G5213]by[G1722]what[G4169]authority[G1849]I[G1473]do[G4160] these things[G5023].
28But[G1161]what[G5101]think[G1380]ye?[G5213] A certain man[G444]had[G2192]two[G1417]sons[G5043]; and[G2532] he came[G4334] to the first[G4413], and[G2532]said[G2036], Son[G5043], go[G5217]work[G2038] to day[G4594]in[G1722]my[G3450]vineyard[G290].
29
He answered[G1161] and said[G2036], I will[G2309]not[G3756]: but[G1161]afterward[G5305] he repented[G3338], and went[G565].
30And[G2532] he came[G4334] to the second[G1208], and[G1161]said[G2036]likewise[G5615]. And[G1161] he answered[G611]and[G1161]said[G2036], I[G1473] go, sir[G2962]: and[G1161]went[G565]not[G3756].
31Whether[G5101]of[G1537]them[G846]twain[G1417]did[G4160] the will[G2307]of[G1537] his father?[G3962] They say[G3004] unto him[G846], The first[G4413]. Jesus[G2424]saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754] the publicans[G5057]and[G2532] the harlots[G4204]go[G4254]into[G1519] the kingdom[G932]of[G1537]God[G2316]before[G4254]you[G5209].
32For[G1063]John[G2491]came[G2064]unto[G4314]you[G5209]in[G1722] the way[G3598] of righteousness[G1343], and[G2532]ye[G5210]believed[G4100]him[G846]not[G3756]: but[G1161] the publicans[G5057]and[G1161] the harlots[G4204]believed[G4100]him[G846]: and[G1161]ye[G5210], when ye[G5210] had seen[G1492] it, repented[G3338]not[G3756]afterward[G5305], that ye[G5210] might believe[G4100]him[G846].
33Hear[G191]another[G243]parable[G3850]: There was[G2258] a certain[G444]householder[G3617], which[G3748]planted[G5452] a vineyard[G290], and[G2532]hedged[G5418]it[G846] round about[G4060], and[G2532]digged[G3736] a winepress[G3025]in[G1722]it[G846], and[G2532]built[G3618] a tower[G4444], and[G2532]let[G1554]it[G846]out[G1554] to husbandmen[G1092], and[G2532] went into a far country[G589]:
34And[G1161]when[G3753] the time[G2540] of the fruit[G2590] drew near[G1448], he sent[G649]his[G846]servants[G1401]to[G4314] the husbandmen[G1092], that they might receive[G2983] the fruits[G2590] of it[G846].
35And[G2532] the husbandmen[G1092]took[G2983]his[G846]servants[G1401], and[G1161]beat[G1194]one[G3739], and[G1161]killed[G615]another[G3739], and[G1161]stoned[G3036]another[G3739].
36Again[G3825], he sent[G649]other[G243]servants[G1401]more[G4119] than the first[G4413]: and[G2532] they did[G4160] unto them[G846]likewise[G5615].
37But[G1161] last of all[G5305] he sent[G649]unto[G4314]them[G846]his[G846]son[G5207], saying[G3004], They will reverence[G1788]my[G3450]son[G5207].
38But[G1161] when the husbandmen[G1092]saw[G1492] the son[G5207], they said[G2036]among[G1722]themselves[G1438], This[G3778]is[G2076] the heir[G2818]; come[G1205], let us kill[G615]him[G846], and[G2532] let us seize[G2722] on his[G846]inheritance[G2817].
39And[G2532] they caught[G2983]him[G846], and[G2532]cast[G1544]him[G846] out of[G1854] the vineyard[G290], and[G2532]slew[G615]him[G846].
40When[G3752] the lord[G2962]therefore[G3767] of the vineyard[G290]cometh[G2064], what[G5101] will he do[G4160] unto those[G1565]husbandmen?[G1092]
41
They say[G3004] unto him[G846], He will miserably[G2560]destroy[G622]those[G846] wicked men[G2556], and[G2532] will let out[G1554] his vineyard[G290] unto other[G243]husbandmen[G1092], which[G3748] shall render[G591]him[G846] the fruits[G2590]in[G1722]their[G846]seasons[G2540].
42Jesus[G2424]saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Did ye[G314]never[G3763]read[G314]in[G1722] the scriptures[G1124], The stone[G3037]which[G3739] the builders[G3618]rejected[G593], the same[G3778]is[G3844]become[G1096] the head[G2776] of the corner[G1137]: this[G3778]is[G2076] the Lord's doing[G1096], and[G2532] it is[G2076]marvellous[G2298]in[G1722]our[G2257]eyes?[G3788]
43Therefore[G1223] say I[G3004] unto you[G5213], The kingdom[G932] of God[G2316] shall be taken[G142]from[G575]you[G3754], and[G2532]given[G1325] to a nation[G1484] bringing forth[G4160] the fruits[G2590]thereof[G846].
44And[G2532] whosoever shall fall[G4098]on[G1909]this[G5126]stone[G3037] shall be broken[G4917]: but[G1161]on[G1909]whomsoever[G3739] it shall fall[G4098], it will grind[G3039]him[G846] to powder[G3039].
45And[G2532] when the chief priests[G749]and[G2532]Pharisees[G5330] had heard[G191]his[G846]parables[G3850], they perceived[G1097]that[G3754] he spake[G3004]of[G4012]them[G846].
46But[G2532] when they sought[G2212] to lay hands[G2902] on him[G846], they feared[G5399] the multitude[G3793], because[G1894] they took[G2192]him[G846]for[G5613] a prophet[G4396].
