Mt Chapter 21 Verses 1-46

21:1
And
when
they
were
near
Jerusalem,
and
had
come to
Beth-phage,
to
the
Mountain
of
Olives,
Jesus
sent
two
disciples,
21:2
Saying
to
them,
Go into
the
little
town
in front
of
you,
and
straight away
you
will
see
an
ass
with
a
cord
round
her
neck,
and
a
young
one
with
her;
let
them
loose
and
come
with
them
to
me.
21:3
And
if
anyone
says
anything
to
you,
you
will
say,
The
Lord
has
need
of
them;
and
straight away
he
will
send
them.
21:4
Now
this
took place
so
that
these
words
of
the
prophet
might
come
true,
21:5
Say
to
the
daughter
of
Zion,
See,
your
King
comes to
you,
gentle
and
seated
on
an
ass,
and
on
a
young
ass.
21:6
And
the
disciples
went
and
did
as
Jesus
had
given
them
orders,
21:7
And
got
the
ass
and
the
young
one,
and
put
their
clothing
on
them,
and
he
took
his
seat
on
it.
21:8
And
all
the
people
put
their
clothing
down
in
the
way;
and
others
got
branches
from
the
trees,
and
put
them
down
in
the
way.
21:9
And
those
who
went
before
him,
and
those
who
came
after,
gave
loud
cries,
saying,
Glory
to
the
Son
of
David:
A
blessing
on
him
who
comes in
the
name
of
the
Lord:
Glory
in
the
highest.
21:10
And
when
he
came
into
Jerusalem,
all
the
town
was
moved,
saying,
Who
is
this?
21:11
And
the
people
said,
This
is
the
prophet
Jesus,
from
Nazareth
of
Galilee.
21:12
And
Jesus
went into
the
Temple
and
sent
out
all
who
were
trading
there,
overturning
the
tables
of
the
money-changers
and
the
seats
of
those
trading
in
doves.
21:13
And
he
said
to
them,
It
is
in
the
Writings,
My
house
is
to
be
named
a
house
of
prayer,
but
you
are
making
it
a
hole
of
thieves.
21:14
And
the
blind
and
the
broken
in
body
came to
him
in
the
Temple,
and
he
made
them
well.
21:15
But
when
the
chief
priests
and
the
scribes
saw
the
works
of
power
which
he
did,
and
the
children
crying
out
in
the
Temple,
Glory
to
the
son
of
David,
they
were
angry
and
said
to
him,
21:16
Have
you
any
idea
what
these
are
saying?
And
Jesus
said
to
them,
Yes:
have
you
not
seen
in
the
Writings,
From
the
lips
of
children
and
babies
at
the
breast
you
have
made
your
praise
complete?
21:17
And
he
went away
from
them,
and
went out
of
the
town
to
Bethany,
and
was
there
for
the
night.
21:18
Now
in
the
morning
when
he
was
coming back
to
the
town,
he
had
a
desire
for
food.
21:19
And
seeing
a
fig-tree
by
the
wayside,
he
came to
it,
and
saw
nothing
on
it
but
leaves
only;
and
he
said
to
it,
Let
there
be
no
fruit
from
you
from
this
time
forward
for ever.
And
straight away
the
fig-tree
became
dry
and
dead.
21:20
And
when
the
disciples
saw
it
they
were
surprised,
saying,
How
did
the
fig-tree
become
dry
in
so
short
a
time?
21:21
And
Jesus
in
answer
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
If
you
have
faith,
without
doubting,
not
only
may
you
do
what
has been
done
to
the
fig-tree,
but
even
if
you
say
to
this
mountain,
Be
taken
up
and
put
into
the
sea,
it
will
be
done.
21:22
And
all
things,
whatever
you
make
request
for
in
prayer,
having
faith,
you
will
get.
21:23
And
when
he
had
come
into
the
Temple,
the
chief
priests
and
those
in
authority
over
the
people
came to
him
while
he
was
teaching,
and
said,
By
what
authority
do you
do
these
things?
and
who
gave
you
this
authority?
21:24
And
Jesus
said
to
them
in
answer,
I
will
put
one
question
to
you,
and
if
you
give
me
the
answer,
I
will
say
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
21:25
The
baptism
of
John,
where
did
it
come
from?
from
heaven
or
from
men?
And
they
were
reasoning
among
themselves,
saying,
If
we
say,
From
heaven;
he
will
say
to
us,
Why
then
did you
not
have
faith
in
him?
21:26
But
if
we
say,
From
men;
we
are
in
fear
of
the
people,
because
all
take
John
to
be
a
prophet.
21:27
And
they
made
answer
and
said,
We
have
no
idea.
Then
he
said
to
them,
And
I
will not
say
to
you
by
what
authority
I
do
these
things.
21:28
But
how
does
it
seem
to
you?
A
man
had
two
sons;
and
he
came to
the
first,
and
said,
Son,
go
and
do
work
today
in
the
vine-garden.
21:29
And
he
said
in
answer,
I
will not:
but
later,
changing
his
decision,
he
went.
21:30
And
he
came to
the
second
and
said
the
same.
And
he
made
answer
and
said,
I
go,
sir:
and
went
not.
21:31
Which
of
the
two
did
his
father’s
pleasure?
They
say,
The
first.
Jesus
said
to
them,
Truly
I
say
to
you,
that
tax-farmers
and
loose
women
are
going into
the
kingdom
of
God
before
you.
21:32
For
John
came to
you
in
the
way
of
righteousness,
and
you
had
no
faith
in
him,
but
the
tax-farmers
and
the
loose
women
had
faith
in
him:
and
you,
when
you
saw
it,
did not
even
have
regret
for
your
sins,
so
as
to
have
faith
in
him.
21:33
Give
ear
to
another
story.
A
master
of
a
house
made
a
vine
garden,
and
put
a
wall
round
it,
and
made
a
place
for
crushing
out
the
wine,
and
made
a
tower,
and
let
it
out
to
field-workers,
and
went into
another
country.
21:34
And
when
the
time
for
the
fruit
came
near,
he
sent
his
servants
to
the
workmen,
to
get
the
fruit.
21:35
And
the
workmen
made
an
attack
on
his
servants,
giving
blows
to
one,
putting
another
to
death,
and
stoning
another.
21:36
Again,
he
sent
other
servants
more
in
number
than
the
first:
and
they
did
the
same
to
them.
21:37
But
after
that
he
sent
his
son
to
them,
saying,
They
will
have
respect
for
my
son.
21:38
But
when
the
workmen
saw
the
son,
they
said
among
themselves,
This
is
he
who
will
one
day
be
the
owner
of
the
property;
come,
let
us
put
him
to
death
and
take
his
heritage.
21:39
And
they
took
him
and,
driving
him
out of
the
vine-garden,
put
him
to
death.
21:40
When,
then,
the
lord
of
the
vine-garden
comes,
what
will
he
do
to
those
workmen?
21:41
They
say
to
him,
He
will
put
those
cruel
men
to
a
cruel
death,
and
will
let out
the
vine-garden
to
other
workmen,
who
will
give
him
the
fruit
when
it
is
ready.
21:42
Jesus
says
to
them,
Did you
never
see
in
the
Writings,
The
stone
which
the
builders
put on
one
side,
the
same
has been
made
the
chief
stone
of
the
building:
this
was
the
Lord’s
doing,
and
it
is
a
wonder
in
our
eyes?
21:43
For
this
reason
I
say
to
you,
The
kingdom
of
God
will
be
taken away
from
you,
and
will
be
given
to
a
nation
producing
the
fruits
of
it.
21:44
Any
man
falling
on
this
stone
will
be
broken,
but
he
on
whom
it
comes
down
will
be
crushed
to
dust.
21:45
And
when
his
stories
came to
the
ears
of
the
chief
priests
and
the
Pharisees,
they
saw
that
he
was
talking
of
them.
21:46
And
though
they
had
a
desire
to
take
him,
they
were
in
fear
of
the
people,
because
in
their
eyes
he
was
a
prophet.
