Matthew 21:18-46

18NowG1161 in the morningG4405 as he returnedG1877 intoG1519 the cityG4172, he was hungryG3983. 19AndG2532 when he sawG1492 aG3391 fig treeG4808 inG1909 the wayG3598, he cameG2064 toG1909 itG846, andG2532 foundG2147 nothingG3762 onG1722 itG846, butG1508 leavesG5444 onlyG3440, andG2532 saidG3004 to itG846, Let noG1096 fruitG2590 growG1096 onG1537 theeG4675 henceforthG3371 forG1519 everG165. AndG2532 immediatelyG3916 the fig treeG4808 withered awayG3583.1 20AndG2532 when the disciplesG3101 sawG1492 it, they marvelledG2296, sayingG3004, HowG4459 soonG3916 is the fig treeG4808 withered awayG3583! 21JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 to themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, IfG1437 ye haveG2192 faithG4102, andG2532 doubtG1252 notG3361, ye shallG4160 notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 thisG3440 which is done to the fig treeG4808, butG235 also ifG2579 ye shall sayG2036 to thisG5129 mountainG3735, Be thou removedG142, andG2532 be thou castG906 intoG1519 the seaG2281; it shall be doneG1096. 22AndG2532 all thingsG3956, whateverG302G3745 ye shall askG154 inG1722 prayerG4335, believingG4100, ye shall receiveG2983.

23AndG2532 when heG846 had comeG2064 intoG1519 the templeG2411, the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992 cameG4334 to himG846 as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG5023? andG2532 whoG5101 gaveG1325 theeG4671 thisG5026 authorityG1849? 24AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 to themG846, I alsoG2504 will askG2065 youG5209 oneG1520 thingG3056, whichG3739 ifG1437 ye tellG2036 meG3427, I alsoG2504 will tellG2046 youG5213 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG5023. 25The baptismG908 of JohnG2491, whereG4159 was itG2258 from? fromG1537 heavenG3772, orG2228 fromG1537 menG444? AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 withG3844 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, IfG1437 we shall sayG2036, FromG1537 heavenG3772; he will sayG2046 to usG2254, WhyG1302 thenG3767 did yeG4100 notG3756 believeG4100 himG846? 26ButG1161 ifG1437 we shall sayG2036, FromG1537 menG444; we fearG5399 the peopleG3793; forG1063 allG3956 holdG2192 JohnG2491 asG5613 a prophetG4396. 27AndG2532 they answeredG611 JesusG2424, and saidG2036, We cannotG3756 tellG1492. AndG2532 heG846 saidG5346 to themG846, NeitherG3761 do IG1473 tellG3004 youG5213 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG5023.

28ButG1161 whatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213? A certainmanG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5043; andG2532 he cameG4334 to the firstG4413, and saidG2036, SonG5043, goG5217 workG2038 to dayG4594 inG1722 myG3450 vineyardG290. 29He answeredG1161G611 and saidG2036, I willG2309 notG3756: butG1161 afterwardG5305 he repentedG3338, and wentG565. 30AndG2532 he cameG4334 to the secondG1208, and saidG2036 likewiseG5615. AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, IG1473 go, sirG2962: andG2532 wentG565 notG3756. 31WhichG5101 ofG1537 the twoG1417 didG4160 the willG2307 of his fatherG3962? They sayG3004 to himG846, The firstG4413. JesusG2424 saithG3004 to themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 the tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG4204 goG4254 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 beforeG4254 youG5209. 32ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 the tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG1161 yeG5210, when ye had seenG1492 it, repentedG3338 notG3756 afterwardG5305, that ye might believeG4100 himG846.

33HearG191 anotherG243 parableG3850: There wasG2258 a certainG444G5100 householderG3617, whoG3748 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 hedgedG5418 aroundG4060 itG846, andG2532 dugG3736 a winepressG3025 inG1722 itG846, andG2532 builtG3618 a towerG4444, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 outG1554 to vinedressersG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589: 34AndG1161 whenG3753 the timeG2540 of the fruitG2590 drew nearG1448, he sentG649 hisG846 servantsG1401 toG4314 the vinedressersG1092, that they might receiveG2983 itsG846 fruitsG2590. 35AndG2532 the vinedressersG1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739. 36AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 to themG846 in like mannerG5615. 37ButG1161 last of allG5305 he sentG649 toG4314 themG846 hisG846 sonG5207, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG3450 sonG5207. 38ButG1161 when the vinedressersG1092 sawG1492 the sonG5207, they saidG2036 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG2076 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 let us seizeG2722 on hisG846 inheritanceG2817. 39AndG2532 they caughtG2983 himG846, and castG1544 him out ofG1854 the vineyardG290, andG2532 slewG615 him . 40WhenG3752 thereforeG3767 the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 comethG2064, whatG5101 will he doG4160 to thoseG1565 vinedressersG1092? 41They sayG3004 to himG846, He will miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG290 to otherG243 vinedressersG1092, whoG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG2540. 42JesusG2424 saithG3004 to themG846, Did yeG314 neverG3763 readG314 inG1722 the scripturesG1124, The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137: thisG3778 isG3844 the Lord’sG2962 doingG1096, andG2532 it isG2076 marvellousG2298 inG1722 ourG2257 eyesG3788? 43ThereforeG1223G5124 I sayG3004 to youG5213, The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 shall be takenG142 fromG575 youG5216, andG2532 givenG1325 to a nationG1484 bringing forthG4160 the fruitsG2590 of itG846. 44AndG2532 whoever shall fallG4098 onG1909 thisG5126 stoneG3037 shall be brokenG4917: butG1161 onG1909 whomeverG3739G302 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039. 45AndG2532 when the chief priestsG749 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 had heardG191 hisG846 parablesG3850, they perceivedG1097 thatG3754 he spokeG3004 ofG4012 themG846. 46ButG2532 when they soughtG2212 to lay handsG2902 on himG846, they fearedG5399 the multitudeG3793, becauseG1894 they regardedG2192 himG846 asG5613 a prophetG4396.
