1 aWhen they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at bthe Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.
3 “If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 aThis 1took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 “aSay to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold your King is coming to you,
Gentle, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ”
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,
7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on 1the coats.
8 Most of the crowd aspread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.
9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting,
“Hosanna to the aSon of David;
bBlessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna cin the highest!”
10 When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?”
11 And the crowds were saying, “This is athe prophet Jesus, from bNazareth in Galilee.”
12 aAnd Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the bmoney changers and the seats of those who were selling cdoves.
13 And He * said to them, “It is written, ‘aMy house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a brobbers’ 1den.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and aHe healed them.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, “Hosanna to the aSon of David,” they became indignant
16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus * said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘aOut of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”
17 And He left them and went out of the city to aBethany, and spent the night there.
18 aNow in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry.
19 Seeing a lone afig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He * said to it, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.” And at once the fig tree withered.
20 Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, “How did the fig tree wither all at once?”
21 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, aif you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen.
22 “And aall things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 aWhen He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him bwhile He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
24 Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you one 1thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 “The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?” And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
26 “But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the 1people; for they all regard John as aa prophet.”
27 And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “But what do you think? A man had two 1sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘2Son, go work today in the avineyard.’
29 “And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went.
30 “The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did the will of his father?” They * said, “The first.” Jesus * said to them, “Truly I say to you that athe tax collectors and prostitutes 1will get into the kingdom of God before you.
32 “For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but athe tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.
33 “Listen to another parable. aThere was a 1landowner who bplanted a cvineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to 2vine-growers and dwent on a journey.
34 “When the 1harvest time approached, he asent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.
35 “The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.
36 “Again he asent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.
37 “But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 “But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39 “They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore when the 1owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?”
41 They * said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and awill rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”
42 Jesus * said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘aThe stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a 1people, producing the fruit of it.
44 “And ahe who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.
46 When they sought to seize Him, they afeared the 1people, because they considered Him to be a bprophet.
1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 “aThe kingdom of heaven 1may be compared to 2a king who 3gave a bwedding feast for his son.
3 “And he asent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.
4 “Again he asent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.” ’
5 “But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own 1farm, another to his business,
6 and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.
7 “But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.
8 “Then he * said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 ‘Go therefore to athe main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 “Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with 1dinner guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw aa man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,
12 and he * said to him, ‘aFriend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.
13 “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into athe outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “For many are 1acalled, but few are achosen.”
15 aThen the Pharisees went and 1plotted together how they might trap Him 2in what He said.
16 And they * sent their disciples to Him, along with the aHerodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and 1defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.
17 “Tell us then, what do You think? Is it 1lawful to give a apoll-tax to bCaesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus perceived their 1malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?
19 “Show Me the acoin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a 1denarius.
20 And He * said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
21 They * said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He * said to them, “aThen render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 And hearing this, they were amazed, and aleaving Him, they went away.
23 aOn that day some bSadducees (who say cthere is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,
24 asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘aIf a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’
25 “Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;
26 so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh.
27 “Last of all, the woman died.
28 “In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, anot 1understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 “For in the resurrection they neither amarry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
31 “But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:
32 ‘aI am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, athey were astonished at His teaching.
34 aBut when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced bthe Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.
35 One of them, 1aa lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
37 And He said to him, “ ‘aYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 “This is the great and 1foremost commandment.
39 “The second is like it, ‘aYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 “aOn these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 aNow while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question:
42 “What do you think about 1the Christ, whose son is He?” They * said to Him, “aThe son of David.”
43 He * said to them, “Then how does David 1ain the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,
44 ‘aThe Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet” ’?
45 “If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”
46 aNo one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him 1another question.
1 aThen Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,
2 saying: “aThe scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;
3 therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.
4 “aThey tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.
5 “But they do all their deeds ato be noticed by men; for they bbroaden their 1phylacteries and lengthen cthe tassels of their garments.
6 “They alove the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called aRabbi by men.
8 “But ado not be called bRabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for aOne is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10 “Do not be called 1leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.
11 “aBut the greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 “aWhoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
13 “aBut woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, bbecause you shut off the kingdom of heaven 1from 2people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
14 [“1Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ayou devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one 1aproselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of 2bhell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, ablind guides, who say, ‘bWhoever swears by the 1temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the 1temple is obligated.’
17 “You fools and blind men! aWhich is 1more important, the gold or the 2temple that sanctified the gold?
18 “And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the 1offering on it, he is obligated.’
19 “You blind men, awhich is 1more important, the 2offering, or the altar that sanctifies the 2offering?
20 “Therefore, 1whoever swears by the altar, swears both by 2the altar and by everything on it.
21 “And 1whoever swears by the 2temple, swears both by 3the temple and by Him who adwells within it.
22 “And 1whoever swears by heaven, aswears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
23 “aWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and 1cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.
24 “You ablind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ayou clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full 1of robbery and self-indulgence.
26 “You blind Pharisee, first aclean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
27 “aWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.
28 “So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “aWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
30 and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
31 “So you testify against yourselves, that you aare 1sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 “Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.
33 “You serpents, ayou brood of vipers, how 1will you escape the 2sentence of 3bhell?
34 “aTherefore, behold, bI am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will cscourge in your synagogues, and dpersecute from city to city,
35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous aAbel to the blood of Zechariah, the bson of Berechiah, whom cyou murdered between the 1temple and the altar.
36 “Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon athis generation.
37 “aJerusalem, Jerusalem, who bkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, cthe way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.
38 “Behold, ayour house is being left to you desolate!
39 “For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘aBlessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
