1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose
them, and bring them unto me.

3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
need of them; and straightway he will send them.

4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,

5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes,
and they set him thereon.

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed them in the
way.

9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.

12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of
the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the
house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.

15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying,
Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of
babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
he lodged there.

18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and
found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no
fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig
tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If
ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is
done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.

23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and
said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority?

24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you
one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what
authority I do these things.

25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
John as a prophet.

27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he
said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.

28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came
to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.

30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he
answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say
unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God
before you.

32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye
believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him:
and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might
believe him.

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress
in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and
went into a far country:

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and
killed another, and stoned another.

36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did
unto them likewise.

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence
my son.

38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves,
This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on
his inheritance.

39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him.

40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
do unto those husbandmen?

41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked
men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which
shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The
stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of
the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes?

43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables,
they perceived that he spake of them.

46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
