40:021:001 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
disciples,

40:021:002 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.

40:021:003 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
need of them; and straightway he will send them.

40:021:004 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,

40:021:005 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.

40:021:006 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

40:021:007 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon.

40:021:008 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in
the way.

40:021:009 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.

40:021:010 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?

40:021:011 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.

40:021:012 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,

40:021:013 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.

40:021:014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.

40:021:015 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,

40:021:016 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?

40:021:017 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
he lodged there.

40:021:018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

40:021:019 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.

40:021:020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!

40:021:021 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.

40:021:022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
ye shall receive.

40:021:023 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?

40:021:024 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.

40:021:025 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?

40:021:026 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
John as a prophet.

40:021:027 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.

40:021:028 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.

40:021:029 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.

40:021:030 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir: and went not.

40:021:031 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.

40:021:032 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.

40:021:033 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:

40:021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

40:021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.

40:021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them likewise.

40:021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son.

40:021:038 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.

40:021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him.

40:021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
do unto those husbandmen?

40:021:041 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.

40:021:042 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?

40:021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.

40:021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

40:021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

40:021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

40:022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and
said,

40:022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made
a marriage for his son,

40:022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to
the wedding: and they would not come.

40:022:004 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.

40:022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise:

40:022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them.

40:022:007 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
their city.

40:022:008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy.

40:022:009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
find, bid to the marriage.

40:022:010 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.

40:022:011 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a
man which had not on a wedding garment:

40:022:012 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

40:022:013 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.

40:022:014 For many are called, but few are chosen.

40:022:015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
entangle him in his talk.

40:022:016 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.

40:022:017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Caesar, or not?

40:022:018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye
me, ye hypocrites?

40:022:019 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

40:022:020 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription?

40:022:021 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.

40:022:022 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him,
and went their way.

40:022:023 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there
is no resurrection, and asked him,

40:022:024 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children,
his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his
brother.

40:022:025 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:

40:022:026 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

40:022:027 And last of all the woman died also.

40:022:028 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the
seven? for they all had her.

40:022:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.

40:022:030 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

40:022:031 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read
that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

40:022:032 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.

40:022:033 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
doctrine.

40:022:034 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together.

40:022:035 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,

40:022:036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

40:022:037 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.

40:022:038 This is the first and great commandment.

40:022:039 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.

40:022:040 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

40:022:041 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

40:022:042 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto him, The son of David.

40:022:043 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
Lord, saying,

40:022:044 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
make thine enemies thy footstool?

40:022:045 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

40:022:046 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

40:023:001 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

40:023:002 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

40:023:003 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe
and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do
not.

40:023:004 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers.

40:023:005 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
garments,

40:023:006 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in
the synagogues,

40:023:007 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi,
Rabbi.

40:023:008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren.

40:023:009 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven.

40:023:010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even
Christ.

40:023:011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

40:023:012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.

40:023:013 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go
in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
in.

40:023:014 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour
widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore
ye shall receive the greater damnation.

40:023:015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves.

40:023:016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear
by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

40:023:017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
temple that sanctifieth the gold?

40:023:018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

40:023:019 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the
altar that sanctifieth the gift?

40:023:020 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and
by all things thereon.

40:023:021 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by
him that dwelleth therein.

40:023:022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

40:023:023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone.

40:023:024 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

40:023:025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within
they are full of extortion and excess.

40:023:026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the
cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

40:023:027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.

40:023:028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

40:023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of
the righteous,

40:023:030 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would
not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.

40:023:031 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the prophets.

40:023:032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

40:023:033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell?

40:023:034 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some
of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city:

40:023:035 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of
Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar.

40:023:036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
generation.

40:023:037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

40:023:038 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

40:023:039 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye
shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

40:024:001 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
temple.

40:024:002 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily
I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon
another, that shall not be thrown down.

40:024:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end
of the world?

40:024:004 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.

40:024:005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

40:024:006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet.

40:024:007 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.

40:024:008 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

40:024:009 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

40:024:010 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.

40:024:011 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

40:024:012 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.

40:024:013 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.

40:024:014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
come.

40:024:015 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)

40:024:016 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

40:024:017 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
thing out of his house:

40:024:018 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes.

40:024:019 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!

40:024:020 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
the sabbath day:

40:024:021 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

40:024:022 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.

40:024:023 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not.

40:024:024 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

40:024:025 Behold, I have told you before.

40:024:026 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not.

40:024:027 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40:024:028 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.

40:024:029 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
shall be shaken:

40:024:030 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.

40:024:031 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.

40:024:032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

40:024:033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that
it is near, even at the doors.

40:024:034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.

40:024:035 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass
away.

40:024:036 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.

40:024:037 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.

40:024:038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark,

40:024:039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40:024:040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.

40:024:041 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.

40:024:042 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.

40:024:043 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in
what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

40:024:044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.

40:024:045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season?

40:024:046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.

40:024:047 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.

40:024:048 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming;

40:024:049 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken;

40:024:050 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
