jub - Matthew:21:23-22:14

jub@Matthew:21:23 @ And when he was come into the temple, the princes of the 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?

jub@Matthew:21:24 @ And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a word, which if ye tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

jub@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John, where was it from? 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?

jub@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

jub@Matthew:21:27 @ And they answered Jesus and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

jub@Matthew:21:28 @ But what do you think? A [certain] man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.

jub@Matthew:21:29 @ He answered and said, I will not, but afterward he repented and went.

jub@Matthew:21:30 @ And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [will go], Lord, and went not.

jub@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did the will of [his] father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go ahead of you into the kingdom of God.

jub@Matthew:21:32 @ 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.

jub@Matthew:21:33 @ Hear another parable: There was a certain husband of a house who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went into a far country,

jub@Matthew:21:34 @ and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits of it.

jub@Matthew:21:35 @ And the husbandmen took his servants and beat one and killed another and stoned another.

jub@Matthew:21:36 @ Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they did unto them likewise.

jub@Matthew:21:37 @ But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

jub@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us take his inheritance.

jub@Matthew:21:39 @ And they took hold of him and cast [him] out of the vineyard and slew [him].

jub@Matthew:21:40 @ Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

jub@Matthew:21:41 @ They say unto him, He will destroy those wicked men without mercy and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

jub@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said 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?

jub@Matthew:21:43 @ Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a people bringing forth the fruits thereof.

jub@Matthew:21:44 @ And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

jub@Matthew:21:45 @ And as the princes of the priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.

jub@Matthew:21:46 @ But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude because they held him as a prophet.:

jub@Matthew:22:1 @ And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables and said,

jub@Matthew:22:2 @ The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a certain man, a king, who made a marriage [feast] for his son

jub@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent forth his servants to call those that were invited to the wedding, and they would not come.

jub@Matthew:22:4 @ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my bulls and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready; come unto the marriage.

jub@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of [it] and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise,

jub@Matthew:22:6 @ and the others took his servants and entreated [them] spitefully and slew [them].

jub@Matthew:22:7 @ But when the king heard [of this], he became angry and sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.

jub@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were called were not worthy.

jub@Matthew:22:9 @ Go ye therefore into the entrances of the highways and call as many as ye shall find to the marriage.

jub@Matthew:22:10 @ So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together everyone that they found, both bad and good; and the wedding was filled with guests.

jub@Matthew:22:11 @ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding garment,

jub@Matthew:22:12 @ and he said unto him, Friend, how didst thou come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

jub@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast [him] into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

jub@Matthew:22:14 @ For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
