Matthew 21:4-46

4NowG1161 this is comeG1096 to passG1096, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

6And the disciplesG3101 wentG4198, and did evenG2532 as JesusG2424 appointed them, 7and broughtG71 the ass, and the coltG4454, and putG2007 on them their garmentsG2440; and he sat thereon. 8And the most part of the multitudeG3793 spreadG4766 their garmentsG2440 in the wayG3598; and othersG243 cut branchesG2798 from the treesG1186, and spreadG4766 them in the wayG3598. 9And the multitudesG3793 that went before him, and that followedG190, criedG2896, sayingG3004, HosannaG5614 to the sonG5207 of DavidG1138: BlessedG2127 is he that cometh in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962; HosannaG5614 in the highestG5310. 10And when he wasG1510 comeG1525 into JerusalemG2414, all the cityG4172 wasG1510 stirred, sayingG3004, Who isG1510 this? 11And the multitudesG3793 saidG3004, This isG1510 the prophetG4396, JesusG2424, from NazarethG3478 of GalileeG1056.

12And JesusG2424 enteredG1525 into the temple of GodG2316, and castG1544 out all them that soldG4453 and boughtG59 in the temple, and overthrew the tablesG5132 of the money-changers, and the seatsG2515 of them that soldG4453 the dovesG4058; 13and he saith unto them, It is writtenG1125, My houseG3624 shall be calledG2564 a houseG3624 of prayerG4335: but ye makeG4160 it a denG4693 of robbersG3027. 14And the blindG5185 and the lameG5560 cameG4334 to him in the temple; and he healedG2323 them. 15But when the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 sawG3708 the wonderful thingsG3739 that he did, and the childrenG3816 that were cryingG2896 in the temple and sayingG3004, HosannaG5614 to the sonG5207 of DavidG1138; they were moved with indignation, 16and saidG3004 unto him, Hearest thou what these are sayingG3004? And JesusG2424 saith unto them, Yea: did ye neverG3763 readG314, Out of the mouthG4750 of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praiseG136? 17And he left them, and wentG1831 forthG1831 out of the cityG4172 to BethanyG963, and lodged there.

18NowG1161 in the morningG4404 as he returned to the cityG4172, he hungered. 19And seeingG3708 a figG4808 treeG4808 by the wayG3598 side, he cameG2064 to it, and foundG2147 nothing thereon, but leaves onlyG3440; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruitG2590 from thee henceforward for ever. And immediatelyG3916 the figG4808 treeG4808 witheredG3583 awayG3583. 20And when the disciplesG3101 sawG3708 it, they marvelled, sayingG3004, HowG4459 did the figG4808 treeG4808 immediatelyG3916 witherG3583 awayG3583? 21And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, If ye have faithG4102, and doubtG1252 not, ye shall not onlyG3440 do what is done to the figG4808 treeG4808, but evenG2532 if ye shall sayG3004 unto this mountainG3735, Be thou takenG142 up and castG906 into the seaG2281, it shall be done. 22And all thingsG3956, whatsoever ye shall askG154 in prayerG4335, believingG4100, ye shall receiveG2983.

23And when he was comeG2064 into the temple, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992 cameG2064 unto him as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, By what authorityG1849 doest thou these thingsG3778? and who gaveG1325 thee this authorityG1849? 24And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, I alsoG1161 will askG2065 you oneG1520 question, which if ye tellG3004 me, I likewise will tellG3004 you by what authorityG1849 I do these thingsG3778. 25The baptismG908 of JohnG2491, whence wasG1510 it? from heavenG3772 or from menG444? And they reasonedG1260 with themselves, sayingG3004, If we shall sayG3004, From heavenG3772; he will sayG3004 unto us, WhyG5101 thenG3767 did ye not believeG4100 him? 26But if we shall sayG3004, From menG444; we fearG5399 the multitudeG3793; for all holdG2192 JohnG2491 as a prophetG4396. 27And they answeredG611 JesusG2424, and saidG3004, We know not. He alsoG2532 saidG3004 unto them, Neither tellG3004 I you by what authorityG1849 I do these thingsG3778. 28But what thinkG1380 ye? A manG444 had twoG1417 sonsG5043; and he cameG4334 to the firstG4413, and saidG3004, SonG5043, goG5217 workG2038 to-day in the vineyardG290. 29And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, I willG2309 not: but afterward he repented himself, and wentG565. 30And he cameG4334 to the secondG1208, and saidG3004 likewiseG5615. And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, I goG565, sirG2962: and wentG565 not. 31Which of the twoG1417 did the will of his fatherG3962? They sayG3004, The firstG4413. JesusG2424 saith unto them, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, that the publicans and the harlots goG4254 into the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 before you. 32For JohnG2491 cameG2064 unto you in the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, and ye believedG4100 him not; but the publicans and the harlots believedG4100 him: and ye, when ye sawG3708 it, did not evenG2532 repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believeG4100 him.

33HearG191 another parableG3850: There wasG1510 a manG444 that wasG1510 a householder, who plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepressG3025 in it, and builtG3618 a towerG4444, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 34And whenG3753 the seasonG2540 of the fruitsG2590 drew near, he sentG649 his servantsG1401 to the husbandmen, to receiveG2983 his fruitsG2590. 35And the husbandmen tookG2983 his servantsG1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739, and killedG615 another, and stoned another. 36AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4183 than the firstG4413: and they did unto them in like manner. 37But afterward he sentG649 unto them his sonG5207, sayingG3004, They will reverence my sonG5207. 38But the husbandmen, when they sawG3708 the sonG5207, saidG3004 among themselves, This isG1510 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 him, and take his inheritanceG2817. 39And they tookG2983 him, and castG1544 him forth out of the vineyardG290, and killedG615 him. 40WhenG3752 thereforeG3767 the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 shall comeG2064, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41They sayG3004 unto him, He will miserably destroyG622 those miserable men, and will let out the vineyardG290 unto otherG243 husbandmen, who shall renderG591 him the fruitsG2590 in their seasonsG2540. 42JesusG2424 saith unto them, Did ye neverG3763 readG314 in the scripturesG1124,

43Therefore sayG3004 I unto you, The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 shall be takenG142 awayG142 from you, and shall be givenG1325 to a nationG1484 bringing forth the fruitsG2590 thereof. 44And he that falleth on this stoneG3037 shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 45And when the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 heardG191 his parablesG3850, they perceived that he spake of them. 46And when they soughtG2212 to lay holdG2902 on him, they fearedG5399 the multitudesG3793, because they tookG2902 him for a prophetG4396.
