* Now in the morning as he returned into the city , he hungered . * And when he saw a fig tree on the way , he came to it , and found nothing on it , but leaves only , and said unto it , And immediately the fig tree withered away . * And when the disciples saw it , they marvelled , saying , How quickly is the fig tree withered away ! * Jesus answered and said unto them , kjc @Matthew:21:22 " /> * 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 are you doing these things ? and who gave you this authority ? * And Jesus answered and said unto them , * And they reasoned with themselves , saying , If we shall say , From heaven ; he will say unto us , Why did you not then believe him ? * But if we shall say , Of men ; we fear the people ; for all hold John as a prophet . * And they answered Jesus , and said , We cannot tell . And he said unto them , kjc @Matthew:21:28 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:29 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:30 " /> * They say unto him , The first . Jesus says unto them , kjc @Matthew:21:32 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:33 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:34 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:35 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:36 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:37 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:38 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:39 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:40 " /> * 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 . * Jesus says unto them , kjc @Matthew:21:43 " /> kjc @Matthew:21:44 " /> * And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables , they perceived that he spoke of them . * But when they sought to lay hands on him , they feared the multitude , because they took him for a prophet .
