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.

<>over against, <>straightway

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,

<>vv. 4-5, <>that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet

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.

<>vv. 4-5, <>thy King cometh, <>meek

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

<>vv. 6-7, <>did as Jesus commanded

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

<>vv. 6-7

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

<>garments, <>in the way … in the way, <>the trees

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.

<>Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord

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

<>the city

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,

<>the temple of God … the temple, <>seats, <>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.

<>It is written, <>My house, <>thieves

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

<>the blind

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,

<>chief, <>priests, <>scribes, <>the wonderful things that he did, <>children

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?

<>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.

<>v. 19, <>found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever

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.

<>answered, <>Verily, <>If ye have faith, and doubt not … if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done., <>have faith, and doubt not

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

<>v. 22

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?

<>came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things?, <>he was teaching, <>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?

<>The baptism of John, <>reasoned with themselves

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

<>we fear the people

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.

<>had two sons … Son, <>work to day, <>work, <>work … in my vineyard

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

<>he repented

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.

<>Whether of them twain did the will of his father?, <>publicans, <>harlots, <>the kingdom of God

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.

<>the way of righteousness

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:

<>parable, <>built a tower, <>husbandmen, <>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.

<>his servants, <>that they might receive the fruits

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.

<>This is the heir, <>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.

<>the fruits in their seasons, <>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?

<>The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner, <>stone, <>builders

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.

<>v. 43, <>The kingdom of God … 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.

<>broken

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

<>Pharisees

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

<>they took him for a prophet

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

<>Jesus … spake unto them again by parables, <>answered, <>spake unto them again, <>parables

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

<>vv. 2-3, <>marriage, <>son

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

<>vv. 3,6-7, <>vv. 2-3, <>his servants

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

<>all things are ready: come unto the marriage

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

<>one to his farm, <>another to his merchandise

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

<>vv. 3,6-7

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

<>vv. 3,6-7, <>was wroth, <>he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, <>armies, <>murderers, <>burned up their city, <>city

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

<>they which were bidden were not worthy, <>worthy

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

<>v. 9

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

<>gathered together, <>both bad and good, <>furnished

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

<>vv. 11-13, <>garment

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

<>vv. 11-13

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

<>vv. 11-13

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

<>v. 14, <>chosen

15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

<>the Pharisees, <>counsel

16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

<>thou art true, <>the way of God, <>thou regardest not the person of men

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

<>Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?, <>tribute

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

<>Jesus perceived their wickedness, <>Jesus … said, Why tempt ye me, <>Why tempt ye me, <>hypocrites

19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

<>vv. 19-20

20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

<>vv. 19-20, <>image, <>superscription

21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

<>Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's., <>Render … unto God the things that are God's.

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

23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

<>the Sadducees, <>the Sadducees … say that there is no resurrection

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

<>Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother., <>Moses, <>die, <>children, <>wife

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

<>issue

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

<>woman

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

<>the resurrection

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

<>Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, <>Ye do err, <>Ye do err, not knowing … the power of God., <>the power of God

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

<>dead, <>have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God

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.

<>I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, <>Abraham, <>Isaac, <>Jacob

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

<>his doctrine

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

<>they were gathered together

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

<>Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind., <>Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, <>with all thy heart

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

<>the second … Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself., <>Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.

<>What think ye of Christ?

43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

<>The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, <>right hand, <>thine enemies

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

<>no man was able to answer him a word
