Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

Moreover, the people that went before, and they also that came after, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."

And the multitude said: This is Jesus the prophet, that is from Nazareth of Galilee.

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.

But [when] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful [things] that he did, and the children shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

and they said to him, 'Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, 'Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'

then leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany, where he stay'd that night.

Seeing a lone fig tree at the roadside, He went to it and found nothing but leaves on it; and He said to it, “Never again will fruit come from you.” And at once the fig tree withered.

And when his disciples saw that, they marveled saying, "How soon is the fig tree withered away!"

Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, if ye shall have faith, and shall not doubt, ye shall not only do that which I have done to the fig tree: but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, take thyself away, and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.

And all things that you ask for in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

and Jesus answered them, let me ask you one question, if ye answer me that, I shall likewise satisfy you by what authority I do these things.

He went to the second son and said the same thing. That son replied, '[Yes], sir, I will,' [but] then did not go.

Which of the two did the will of [his] father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

For John came unto you, in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And yet ye, though ye saw it, were not yet moved with repentance; that ye might afterward have believed him.

Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is his heir, come on, let us kill him, and get all that is coming to him!'

They said to Him, “He will put those despicable men to a miserable end, and rent out the vineyard to other tenants [of good character] who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”

Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

For this [reason], I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people who produce its fruits.

And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

The kingdom of heaven is like a king that made a marriage feast for his son;

and sent forth his servants, to call them that were bid to the wedding: and they would not come.

A second time he sent other slaves, and said to them, 'Tell the invited guests that I have my reception all ready, my bullocks and fatlings are butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding reception!'

But they paid no attention [and] went away--this one to his own field, that one to his business.

When the King heard that, he was wroth, and sent forth his warriors and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city.

After that he said to his slaves, 'My wedding reception is ready, but those invited have proved unworthy.

accordingly they went about the streets, and assembled all they met indifferently, both good and bad: so that the hall was furnished with guests.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man that had not put on a wedding-robe.

and said unto him, 'Friend, how fortuned it that thou camest in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment?' And he was even speechless.

Then the king said to the servants, 'Tie him up {hand and foot} [and] throw him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!'

Then the Pharisees went {and consulted} so that they could entrap him with a statement.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

They said unto him, "Caesar's." Then said he unto them, "Give therefore to Caesar, that which is Caesar's: and give unto God, that which is God's."

When they heard that, they marveled, and left him and went their way.

On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

saying, "Master, Moses bade, if a man die having no children, that the brother marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

And when the people heard that, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

And one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, that he might tempt him, saying:

This is the first and that chief commandment.

A second one, similar to it is [Lev. 19:18], 'You must love your neighbor the same way that you love yourself.'

how comes it then, said he, that David by inspiration calls him Lord, in these words,

And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as {they do}, for they tell [others to do something] and do not do [it themselves].

They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.

But ye shall not suffer yourselves to be called Rabbi, for one is your master, that is, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.

And you must not be called 'leaders,' for you have only one Leader, and that is Christ.

He that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.

But whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low. And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for ye do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.

Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, for ye devour widows' houses: and that, under a colour of praying long prayers, wherefore ye shall receive greater damnation.

Alas for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You scour land and sea to make a single convert, and, when he is gained, you make him twice as deserving of the Pit as you are yourselves.

Alas for you, blind guides! that say - Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple, is bound:

Fools and blind [people]! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?

And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gift [that is] on it is bound [by his oath].'

Blind [people]! For which [is] greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy

Therefore the one who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything [that is] on it.

And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.

And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You pay tithes on mint, fennel, and caraway seed, and have neglected the weightier matters of the Law--justice, mercy, and good faith. These last you ought to have put into practice, without neglecting the first.

Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are filled with the results of greed and self-indulgence.

You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally clean.

"A curse on you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you are like white-washed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead people's bones and everything that is unclean!

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You build the tombs of the Prophets, and decorate the monuments of religious men,

So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

children that can't fail to fill up the measure of your fathers iniquities.

That is why I send you Prophets, wise men, and Teachers of the Law, some of whom you will crucify and kill, and some of whom you will scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from town to town;

So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

know, that your habitation shall be soon turned into a desert.

for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord.

But he, answering, said to them, See you not all these things? truly I say to you that here there will not be one stone resting on another, which will not be pulled down.

And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things [you just spoke of] happen? And what will be the sign that indicates your presence and the end of the [present] age?"

And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked.

And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.

All that is but the beginning of the trouble.

At that time they will turn you over to torture, and will murder you, and you will be hated by all the heathen, because you bear my name.

At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, to testify to all nations, that the end will then come.

When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in what is a holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)

Let not him that is on the house-top,

let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

And say a prayer that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.

"At that time if anyone should say to you, 'Behold, here [is] the Christ,' or 'Here [he is],' do not believe [him]!
