Matthew 21:23-32

23AndG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 was comeG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 templeG846, theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749 andG2532 theG3588 eldersG4245 ofG1722 theG3588 peopleG2992 cameG2064 unto himG846 asG1519 heG2532 was teachingG1321, andG2532 saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG5101 authorityG1849 doest thou theseG3778 thingsG3778? andG2532 whoG3588 gaveG1325 thee thisG3778 authorityG1849?

24AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004 unto themG846, IG1473 alsoG1161 willG3739 askG2065 youG5210 oneG1520 questionG2065, whichG3739 ifG1437 ye tellG3004 meG3004, IG1473 likewise willG3739 tellG3004 youG5210 byG1722 whatG3739 authorityG1849 IG1473 doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778.

25TheG3588 baptismG908 ofG1537 JohnG2491, whence wasG1510 itG846? fromG1537 heavenG3772 orG2228 fromG1537 menG444? AndG1161 theyG846 reasonedG1260 withG1722 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, IfG1437 weG1437 shallG444 sayG3004, FromG1537 heavenG3772; heG846 willG1510 sayG3004 unto usG3004, WhyG5101 thenG3767 didG1510 ye notG1510 believeG4100 himG846?

26ButG1161 ifG1437 weG2249 shallG444 sayG3004, FromG1537 menG444; weG2249 fearG5399 theG3956 multitudeG3793; forG1063 allG3956 holdG2192 JohnG2491 asG5613 a prophetG4396.

27AndG2532 theyG846 answeredG611 JesusG2424, andG2532 saidG3004, WeG3778 knowG1492 notG3756. HeG2532 alsoG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, NeitherG3756 tellG3004 IG1473 youG5210 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 IG1473 doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778.

28ButG1161 whatG5101 thinkG1380 ye? A manG444 had twoG1417 sonsG5043; andG1161 heG3004 cameG4334 toG3004 theG3588 firstG4413, andG1161 saidG3004, SonG5043, goG5217 workG2038 todayG4594 inG1722 theG3588 vineyardG290.

29AndG1161 heG3004 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004, IG1161 willG2309 notG3756: butG1161 afterwardG5305 heG3004 repented himself, andG1161 wentG565.

30AndG2532 heG2532 cameG4334 toG3004 theG3588 secondG1208, andG2532 saidG3004 likewiseG5615. AndG2532 heG2532 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, IG1473 goG565, sirG2962: andG2532 wentG565 notG3756.

31WhetherG2532 ofG1537 theG3588 twain didG4160 theG3588 willG2307 ofG1537 hisG846 fatherG3962? TheyG846 sayG3004, TheG3588 firstG4413. JesusG2424 saith unto themG846, Verily IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 theG3588 publicans andG2532 theG3588 harlotsG4204 goG4254 intoG1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG1537 GodG2316 beforeG4254 youG5210.

32ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 unto youG5210 inG1722 theG3588 wayG3598 ofG3598 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 theG3588 publicans andG2532 theG3588 harlotsG4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG2532 ye, whenG2532 ye sawG3708 itG846, didG3708 notG3756 evenG2532 repent yourselvesG846 afterwardG5305, thatG4100 ye mightG2532 believeG4100 himG846.
