Matthew 21:4-46
4AllG3650 thisG3778 was doneG1096, thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG3588G4396, sayingG3004, 5Tell yeG3004 the daughterG3588G2364 of ZionG4622, BeholdG3708, thyG4771 KingG3588G935 comethG2064 unto theeG4771, meekG4239, andG2532 sittingG1910 uponG1909 a donkeyG3688, andG2532 a coltG4454 the foalG5207 of a donkeyG5268. 6AndG1161 the disciplesG3588G3101 wentG4198, andG2532 didG4160 asG2531 JesusG3588G2424 commandedG4367 themG846, 7And broughtG71 the donkeyG3588G3688, andG2532 the coltG3588G4454, andG2532 putG2007 onG1883 themG846 theirG846 clothesG3588G2440, andG2532 they setG1940 him thereonG1883. 8AndG1161 aG3793 very greatG4118 multitudeG3793 spreadG4766 theirG1438 garmentsG3588G2440 inG1722 the wayG3588G3598; othersG243 cut downG2875 branchesG2798 fromG575 the treesG3588G1186, andG2532 strawedG4766 them inG1722 the wayG3588G3598. 9AndG1161 the multitudesG3588G3793 that went beforeG3588G4254, andG2532 that followedG3588G190, criedG2896, sayingG3004, HosannaG5614 to the SonG3588G5207 of DavidG1138: BlessedG2127 is he that comethG3588G2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962; HosannaG5614 inG1722 the highestG3588G5310. 10AndG2532 whenG1525 heG846 was comeG1525 intoG1519 JerusalemG2414, allG3956 the cityG3588G4172 was movedG4579, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778? 11AndG1161 the multitudeG3793 saidG3004, ThisG3778 isG1510 JesusG2424 the prophetG3588G4396 ofG575 NazarethG3478 of GalileeG3588G1056. 12
AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 cast outG1544 allG3956 them that soldG4453 andG2532 boughtG59 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 overthrewG2690 the tablesG3588G5132 of the moneychangersG3588G2855, andG2532 the seatsG3588G2515 of them that soldG4453 dovesG3588G4058, 13AndG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, It is writtenG1125, MyG1473 houseG3588G3624 shall be calledG2564 the houseG3624 of prayerG4335; butG1161 yeG4771 have madeG4160 itG846 a denG4693 of thievesG3027. 14AndG2532 the blindG5185 andG2532 the lameG5560 cameG4334 to himG846 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411; andG2532 he healedG2323 themG846. 15AndG1161 whenG3708 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 scribesG3588G1122 sawG3708 the wonderful thingsG2297 thatG3739 he didG4160, andG2532 the childrenG3588G3816 cryingG2896 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 sayingG3004, HosannaG5614 to the SonG3588G5207 of DavidG1138; they were sore displeasedG23, 16AndG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, Hearest thouG191 whatG5101 theseG3778 sayG3004? AndG1161 JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, YeaG3483; have yeG314 neverG3763 readG314, OutG1537 of the mouthG4750 of babesG3516 andG2532 sucklingsG2337 thou hast perfectedG2675 praiseG136?
17AndG2532 he leftG2641 themG846, and wentG1831 outG1854 of the cityG3588G4172 intoG1519 BethanyG963; andG2532 he lodgedG835 thereG1563. 18NowG1161 in the morningG4405 as he returnedG1877 intoG1519 the cityG3588G4172, he hungeredG3983. 19AndG2532 when he sawG3708 aG1520 fig treeG4808 inG1909 the wayG3588G3598, he cameG2064 toG1909 itG846, andG2532 foundG2147 nothingG3762 thereonG1722G846, butG1487G3361 leavesG5444 onlyG3440, andG2532 saidG3004 unto itG846, LetG1096 noG3371 fruitG2590 growG1096 onG1537 theeG4771 henceforward forG1519 everG3588G165. AndG2532 presentlyG3916 the fig treeG3588G4808 withered awayG3583. 20AndG2532 whenG3708 the disciplesG3588G3101 sawG3708 it, they marvelledG2296, sayingG3004, HowG4459 soonG3916 isG3583 the fig treeG3588G4808 withered awayG3583! 21JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, IfG1437 ye haveG2192 faithG4102, andG2532 doubtG1252 notG3361, ye shallG4160 notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 thisG3588 which is done to the fig treeG3588G4808, butG235 also ifG2579 ye shall sayG3004 untoG3588G3735 thisG3778 mountainG3588G3735, Be thou removedG142, andG2532 be thou castG906 intoG1519 the seaG3588G2281; it shall be doneG1096. 22AndG2532 all thingsG3956, whatsoeverG3745 ye shall askG154 inG1722 prayerG3588G4335, believingG4100, ye shall receiveG2983. 23
AndG2532 whenG2064 heG846 was comeG2064 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411, the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG3588G2992 cameG4334 unto himG846 as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG3778? andG2532 whoG5101 gaveG1325 theeG4771 thisG3778 authorityG3588G1849? 24AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, I alsoG2504 will askG2065 youG4771 oneG1520 thingG3056, whichG3739 ifG1437 ye tellG3004 meG1473, I in like wiseG2504 will tellG2046 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG3778. 25The baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491, whenceG4159 was itG1510? fromG1537 heavenG3772, orG2228 ofG1537 menG444? AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 withG3844 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, IfG1437 we shall sayG3004, FromG1537 heavenG3772; he will sayG2046 unto usG1473, WhyG5101 did yeG4100 notG3756 thenG3767 believeG4100 himG846? 26ButG1161 ifG1437 we shall sayG3004, OfG1537 menG444; we fearG5399 the peopleG3588G3793; forG1063 allG3956 holdG2192 JohnG3588G2491 asG5613 a prophetG4396. 27AndG2532 they answeredG611 JesusG3588G2424, and saidG3004, WeG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492. AndG2532 heG846 saidG5346 unto themG846, NeitherG3761 tellG3004 IG1473 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG3778. 28
ButG1161 whatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG4771? AG444 certain manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5043; andG2532 he cameG4334 to the firstG4413, and saidG3004, SonG5043, goG5217 workG2038 to dayG4594 inG1722 myG1473 vineyardG3588G290. 29He answeredG3588G611 and saidG3004, I willG2309 notG3756: butG1161 afterwardG5305 he repentedG3338, and wentG565. 30AndG2532 he cameG4334 to the secondG1208, and saidG3004 likewiseG5615. AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG3004, IG1473 go, sirG2962: andG2532 wentG565 notG3756. 31WhetherG5101 ofG1537 them twainG1417 didG4160 the willG3588G2307 ofG3588G3962 his fatherG3588G3962? They sayG3004 unto himG846, The firstG4413. JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 the publicansG3588G5057 andG2532 the harlotsG3588G4204 goG4254 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 beforeG4254 youG4771. 32ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 inG1722 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 the publicansG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG3588G4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG1161 yeG4771, when ye had seenG3708 it, repentedG3338 notG3756 afterwardG5305, thatG3588 ye might believeG4100 himG846.
33HearG191 anotherG243 parableG3850: There wasG1510 a certainG5100 householderG3617, whichG3748 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 hedgedG5418 itG846 round aboutG4060, andG2532 diggedG3736 a winepressG3025 inG1722 itG846, andG2532 builtG3618 a towerG4444, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 outG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589: 34AndG1161 whenG3753 the timeG3588G2540 of the fruitG3588G2590 drew nearG1448, he sentG649 hisG846 servantsG3588G1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG3588G1092, that they might receiveG2983 the fruitsG3588G2590 of itG846. 35AndG2532 the husbandmenG3588G1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG3588G1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739. 36AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 unto themG846 likewiseG5615. 37ButG1161 last of allG5305 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 hisG846 sonG3588G5207, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG1473 sonG3588G5207. 38ButG1161 whenG3708 the husbandmenG1092 sawG3708 the sonG3588G5207, they saidG3004 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG1510 the heirG3588G2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 let us seizeG2722 onG3588G2817 hisG846 inheritanceG3588G2817. 39AndG2532 they caughtG2983 himG846, and castG1544 him outG1854 of the vineyardG3588G290, andG2532 slewG615 him. 40WhenG3752 the lordG3588G2962 thereforeG3767 of the vineyardG3588G290 comethG2064, whatG5101 will he doG4160 untoG3588G1092 thoseG1565 husbandmenG3588G1092? 41They sayG3004 unto himG846, He willG622 miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG3588G290 untoG1092 otherG243 husbandmenG1092, whichG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG3588G2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG3588G2540. 42JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, Did yeG314 neverG3763 readG314 inG1722 the scripturesG3588G1124, The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137: thisG3778 isG1096 the Lord’sG2962 doingG3844, andG2532 it isG1510 marvellousG2298 inG1722 ourG1473 eyesG3788? 43ThereforeG1223 say IG3004 unto youG4771, The kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 shall be takenG142 fromG575 youG4771, andG2532 givenG1325 to a nationG1484 bringing forthG4160 the fruitsG3588G2590 thereofG846. 44AndG2532 whosoever shall fallG4098 onG1909 thisG3778 stoneG3588G3037 shall be brokenG4917: butG1161 onG1909 whomsoeverG3739 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039. 45AndG2532 whenG191 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 PhariseesG3588G5330 had heardG191 hisG846 parablesG3588G3850, they perceivedG1097 thatG3754 he spakeG3004 ofG4012 themG846. 46ButG2532 when they soughtG2212 to lay hands onG2902 himG846, they fearedG5399 the multitudeG3588G3793, becauseG1894 they tookG2192 himG846 forG5613 a prophetG4396.
