                               CHAPTER 15

 MAT 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem,
saying,
 MAT 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they
wash not their hands when they eat bread.
 MAT 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the
commandment of God by your tradition?
 MAT 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that
curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
 MAT 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a
gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
 MAT 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have
ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
 MAT 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
 MAT 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me
with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
 MAT 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.
 MAT 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
understand:
 MAT 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
 MAT 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the
Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
 MAT 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath
not planted, shall be rooted up.
 MAT 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind
lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
 MAT 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
 MAT 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
 MAT 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth
goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
 MAT 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the
heart; and they defile the man.
 MAT 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
 MAT 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen
hands defileth not a man.
 MAT 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and
Sidon.
 MAT 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried
unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is
grievously vexed with a devil.
 MAT 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought
him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
 MAT 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of
the house of Israel.
 MAT 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
 MAT 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast it to dogs.
 MAT 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall
from their masters' table.
 MAT 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith:
be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that
very hour.
 MAT 15:29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
 MAT 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were
lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet;
and he healed them:
 MAT 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to
speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they
glorified the God of Israel.
 MAT 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion
on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing
to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
 MAT 15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread
in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
 MAT 15:34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,
Seven, and a few little fishes.
 MAT 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
 MAT 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and
brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
 MAT 15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken
meat that was left seven baskets full.
 MAT 15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
children.
 MAT 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the
coasts of Magdala.


                               CHAPTER 16

 MAT 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him
that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
 MAT 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be
fair weather: for the sky is red.
 MAT 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red
and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye
not discern the signs of the times?
 MAT 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there
shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left
them, and departed.
 MAT 16:5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten
to take bread.
 MAT 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
 MAT 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have
taken no bread.
 MAT 16:8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith,
why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
 MAT 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
 MAT 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets
ye took up?
 MAT 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of
the Sadducees?
 MAT 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven
of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
 MAT 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
 MAT 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias;
and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
 MAT 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
 MAT 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of
the living God.
 MAT 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which
is in heaven.
 MAT 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
 MAT 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
 MAT 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he
was Jesus the Christ.
 MAT 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that
he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
 MAT 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from
thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
 MAT 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou
art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but
those that be of men.
 MAT 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
 MAT 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will
lose his life for my sake shall find it.
 MAT 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
 MAT 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
 MAT 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not
taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.


                              CHAPTER 17

 MAT 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother,
and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
 MAT 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun,
and his raiment was white as the light.
 MAT 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with
him.
 MAT 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to
be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one
for Moses, and one for Elias.
 MAT 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and
behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased; hear ye him.
 MAT 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were
sore afraid.
 MAT 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
 MAT 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus
only.
 MAT 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying,
Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
 MAT 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that
Elias must first come?
 MAT 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come,
and restore all things.
 MAT 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him
not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son
of man suffer of them.
 MAT 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the
Baptist.
 MAT 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain
man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
 MAT 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for
ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
 MAT 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
 MAT 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to
me.
 MAT 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the
child was cured from that very hour.
 MAT 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we
cast him out?
 MAT 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall
be impossible unto you.
 MAT 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
 MAT 17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man
shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
 MAT 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again.
And they were exceeding sorry.
 MAT 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute
money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
 MAT 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented
him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take
custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
 MAT 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are
the children free.
 MAT 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and
cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast
opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto
them for me and thee.


                               CHAPTER 18

 MAT 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
 MAT 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of
them,
 MAT 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the
same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
 MAT 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me,
it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he
were drowned in the depth of the sea.
 MAT 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that
offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
 MAT 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast
them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather
than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
 MAT 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it
is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes
to be cast into hell fire.
 MAT 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say
unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father
which is in heaven.
 MAT 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
 MAT 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone
astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and
seeketh that which is gone astray?
 MAT 18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
 MAT 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should perish.
 MAT 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him
his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained
thy brother.
 MAT 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
 MAT 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if
he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a
publican.
 MAT 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven.
 MAT 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as
touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father
which is in heaven.
 MAT 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I
in the midst of them.
 MAT 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin
against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
 MAT 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but,
Until seventy times seven.
 MAT 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which
would take account of his servants.
 MAT 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed
him ten thousand talents.
 MAT 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be
sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
 MAT 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,
have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
 MAT 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed
him, and forgave him the debt.
 MAT 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants,
which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the
throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
 MAT 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
 MAT 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should
pay the debt.
 MAT 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
 MAT 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou
wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
 MAT 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant,
even as I had pity on thee?
 MAT 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he
should pay all that was due unto him.
 MAT 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from
your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.


                              CHAPTER 19

 MAT 19:1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he
departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
 MAT 19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
 MAT 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him,
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
 MAT 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which
made them at the beginning made them male and female,
 MAT 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
 MAT 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
 MAT 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of
divorcement, and to put her away?
 MAT 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
 MAT 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be
for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso
marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
 MAT 19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his
wife, it is not good to marry.
 MAT 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they
to whom it is given.
 MAT 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's
womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be
eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He
that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
 MAT 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put
his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
 MAT 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come
unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 19:15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
 MAT 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
 MAT 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good
but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
 MAT 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou
shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness,
 MAT 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
 MAT 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my
youth up: what lack I yet?
 MAT 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and
follow me.
 MAT 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for
he had great possessions.
 MAT 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a
rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 MAT 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 MAT 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying,
Who then can be saved?
 MAT 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.
 MAT 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all,
and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
 MAT 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have
followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of
his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of
Israel.
 MAT 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall
receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
 MAT 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.


                              CHAPTER 20

 MAT 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
 MAT 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard.
 MAT 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in
the marketplace,
 MAT 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is
right I will give you. And they went their way.
 MAT 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
 MAT 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing
idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
 MAT 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them,
Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
 MAT 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last
unto the first.
 MAT 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man a penny.
 MAT 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received
more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
 MAT 20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of
the house,
 MAT 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them
equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
 MAT 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong:
didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
 MAT 20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even
as unto thee.
 MAT 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye
evil, because I am good?
 MAT 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called,
but few chosen.
 MAT 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in
the way, and said unto them,
 MAT 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed
unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to
death,
 MAT 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to
crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
 MAT 20:20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
 MAT 20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that
these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left,
in thy kingdom.
 MAT 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to
drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that
I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
 MAT 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand,
and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it
is prepared of my Father.
 MAT 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against
the two brethren.
 MAT 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of
the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise
authority upon them.
 MAT 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among
you, let him be your minister;
 MAT 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
 MAT 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
 MAT 20:29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
 MAT 20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard
that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of
David.
 MAT 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace:
but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
 MAT 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I
shall do unto you?
 MAT 20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
 MAT 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.


                              CHAPTER 21

 MAT 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage,
unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
 MAT 21:2 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.
 MAT 21:3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of
them; and straightway he will send them.
 MAT 21:4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying,
 MAT 21:5 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.
 MAT 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
 MAT 21:7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and
they set him thereon.
 MAT 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others
cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
 MAT 21:9 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.
 MAT 21:10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying,
Who is this?
 MAT 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of
Galilee.
 MAT 21:12 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,
 MAT 21:13 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.
 MAT 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed
them.
 MAT 21:15 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,
 MAT 21:16 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?
 MAT 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he
lodged there.
 MAT 21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
 MAT 21:19 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.
 MAT 21:20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is
the fig tree withered away!
 MAT 21:21 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.
 MAT 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.
 MAT 21:23 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?
 MAT 21:24 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.
 MAT 21:25 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?
 MAT 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as
a prophet.
 MAT 21:27 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.
 MAT 21:28 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.
 MAT 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and
went.
 MAT 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and
said, I go, sir: and went not.
 MAT 21:31 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.
 MAT 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.
 MAT 21:33 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:
 MAT 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.
 MAT 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.
 MAT 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto
them likewise.
 MAT 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son.
 MAT 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 seize on his inheritance.
 MAT 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
 MAT 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto
those husbandmen?
 MAT 21:41 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.
 MAT 21:42 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?
 MAT 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you,
and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
 MAT 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
 MAT 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they
perceived that he spake of them.
 MAT 21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude,
because they took him for a prophet.
