Thematic Bible: Concerning his kingdom


Thematic Bible



And on the morrow when they came out from Bethany he was hungry. And having seen a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he will find anything on it. And when he came to it he found nothing except leaves, for it was not the time of figs. And having responded, Jesus said to it, No man may eat fruit from thee, no more into the age. And his disciples heard it.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not. Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, ye will, no, not see me henceforth, until ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord.


And when he came near, having seen the city, he wept over it, saying, If thou knew, even thou, indeed even in this thy day, the things for thy peace. But now they are hidden from thine eyes. Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will build a barricade around thee, and will surround thee, and enclose thee on every side. read more.
And they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation. And having entered into the temple, he began to cast out those selling and buying in it, saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers. And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scholars sought to destroy him, even the foremost men of the people. And they did not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.






(But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.)

Hear ye another parable. There was a certain man who was a house-ruler, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey. And when the time of the fruits approached, he sent his bondmen to the farmers to receive his fruits. And the farmers having taken his bondmen, they beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. read more.
Again, he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner. But finally he sent to them his son, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son. But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having seized him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Because of this I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it. And he who falls on this stone will be shattered, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.


And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day.

And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted to the sky, will be thrust down to Hades.


And as they were eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

And having answered, he said, He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, this man will betray me. The Son of man indeed goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been born. And Judas (the man who betrayed him) having answered, he said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, Thou have said.
