Matthew:21-22

rkjnt@Matthew:21:1 @ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:2 @ Saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:3 @ And if any man says anything to you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will send them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:4 @ All this was done, that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:5 @ Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:6 @ And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:7 @ And brought the donkey, and the colt, and placed on them their garments, and he sat upon them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:8 @ And a very great multitude spread their garments along the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them on the way.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:9 @ And the multitudes that went before, and that followed after, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:10 @ And when he came into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:11 @ And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:12 @ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:13 @ And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:14 @ And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:15 @ And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were very displeased,

rkjnt@Matthew:21:16 @ And said to him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have brought perfect praise?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:17 @ And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany; and he lodged there.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:18 @ Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:19 @ And when he saw a fig tree by the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves, and he said to it, Let no fruit grow on you ever again. And at once the fig tree withered away.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:20 @ And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree so quickly wither away?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:22 @ And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:23 @ And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:24 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John, where was it from? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we shall say, From men; we fear the people; for all hold that John was a prophet.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:27 @ And they answered Jesus, and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

rkjnt@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 the vineyard.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:30 @ And he came to the second, and said the same. And he answered and said, I will, sir: but did not go.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, That the tax gatherers and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:32 @ For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him: but the tax gatherers and the prostitutes believed him: and even when you had seen this, you did not afterward repent and believe him.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:33 @ Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to farmers, and went to a far country:

rkjnt@Matthew:21:34 @ And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, that they might collect his fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:35 @ And the tenants took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:36 @ Again, he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did the same to them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:37 @ But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:21:39 @ And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:40 @ Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other tenants, who shall give him the fruits in their seasons.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the cornerstone: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

rkjnt@Matthew:21:43 @ Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation which will bring forth its fruit.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:44 @ And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:45 @ And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.

rkjnt@Matthew:21:46 @ They sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the multitude, because they held him to be a prophet.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:1 @ And Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, and said,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:2 @ The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who gave a marriage feast for his son,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:3 @ And sent forth his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast: but they would not come.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:4 @ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fat calves have been killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business:

rkjnt@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest took his servants, and treated them spitefully, and killed them.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:7 @ The king was angry, and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:9 @ Therefore, go into the highways, and as many as you shall find, invite to the marriage feast.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:10 @ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:11 @ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment:

rkjnt@Matthew:22:12 @ And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

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

rkjnt@Matthew:22:14 @ For many are called, but few are chosen.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:16 @ And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in truth, nor do you defer to any man: for you do not regard the position of men.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:17 @ Therefore tell us, What do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:19 @ Show me the money used for the tax. And they brought to him a denarius.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:20 @ And he said to them, Whose image and inscription is this?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:21 @ They said to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Then render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:22 @ When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:24 @ Teacher, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were among us seven brothers: and the first, after he had married, died, and, having no children, left his wife to his brother:

rkjnt@Matthew:22:26 @ The same happened to the second, and the third, down to the seventh.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:27 @ And last of all the woman died.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:28 @ Therefore, at the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered them, You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:30 @ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:31 @ And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:32 @ I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:33 @ And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:34 @ But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:35 @ Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question to test him, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:36 @ Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:37 @ Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and greatest commandment.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:39 @ And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:40 @ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:42 @ What do you think of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him, The Son of David.

rkjnt@Matthew:22:43 @ He said to them, How then does David in the spirit call him Lord, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:22:44 @ The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:45 @ If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?

rkjnt@Matthew:22:46 @ And no man was able to answer him a word, nor did any man dare from that day forth to ask him any more questions.

rkjnt@Matthew:23:1 @ Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,
