Matthew 21

1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem upon an ass, 12 driveth the buyers and sellers out of the Temple, 17 curseth the fig tree, 23 putteth to silence the priests and elders, 28 and rebuketh them by the similitude of the two sons, 33 and the husbandmen, who slew such as were sent unto them.

 21:1 ¶ And 2532 when 3753 they drew nigh 1448 z5656 unto 1519 Jerusalem, 2414 and 2532 were come 2064 z5627 to 1519 Bethphage, 967 unto 4314 the x3588 mount 3735 of Olives, 1636 then 5119 sent 649 z5656 Jesus 2424 two 1417 disciples, 3101

 21:2 Saying 3004 z5723 unto them, 846 Go 4198 z5680 into 1519 the x3588 village 2968 over against 561 you, 5216 and 2532 straightway 2112 ye shall find 2147 z5692 an ass 3688 tied, 1210 z5772 and 2532 a colt 4454 with 3326 her: 846 loose 3089 z5660 [them], and bring 71 z5628 [them] unto me. 3427

 21:3 And 2532 if 1437 any x5100 [man] y5100 say 2036 z5632 ought 5100 unto you, 5213 ye shall say, 2046 z5692 y3754 The x3588 Lord 2962 hath 2192 z5719 need 5532 of them; 846 and y1161 x2532 straightway 2112 he will send 649 z5692 them. 846

 21:4 x1161 All 3650 y1161 this 5124 was done, 1096 z5754 that 2443 it might be fulfilled 4137 z5686 which y3588 was spoken 4483 z5685 by 1223 the x3588 prophet, 4396 saying, 3004 z5723

 21:5 Tell x2036 ye y2036 z5628 the x3588 daughter 2364 of Sion, 4622 Behold, 2400 z5628 thy 4675 King 935 cometh 2064 z5736 unto thee, 4671 meek, 4239 and 2532 sitting 1910 z5761 upon 1909 an ass, 3688 and 2532 a colt 4454 the foal 5207 of an ass. 5268

 21:6 And 1161 the x3588 disciples 3101 went, 4198 z5679 and 2532 did 4160 z5660 as 2531 Jesus 2424 commanded 4367 z5656 them, 846

 21:7 And brought 71 z5627 the x3588 ass, 3688 and 2532 the x3588 colt, 4454 and 2532 put 2007 z5656 on 1883 them 846 their y846 x848 clothes, 2440 and 2532 they set 1940 z5656 z5625 [him] thereon. 1883 846

 21:8 And 1161 a very great 4118 multitude 3793 spread 4766 z5656 their 1438 garments 2440 in 1722 the x3588 way; 3598 x1161 others 243 y1161 cut down 2875 z5707 branches 2798 from 575 the x3588 trees, 1186 and 2532 strawed 4766 z5707 [them] in 1722 the x3588 way. 3598

 21:9 And 1161 the x3588 multitudes 3793 that went before, 4254 z5723 and 2532 that followed, 190 z5723 cried, 2896 z5707 saying, 3004 z5723 Hosanna 5614 to the x3588 Son 5207 of David: 1138 Blessed 2127 z5772 [is] he that cometh 2064 z5740 in 1722 the name 3686 of the Lord; 2962 Hosanna 5614 in 1722 the x3588 highest. 5310

 21:10 And 2532 when he 846 was come 1525 z5631 into 1519 Jerusalem, 2414 all 3956 the x3588 city 4172 was moved, 4579 z5681 saying, 3004 z5723 Who 5101 is 2076 z5748 this? 3778

 21:11 And 1161 the x3588 multitude 3793 said, 3004 z5707 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 Jesus 2424 the x3588 prophet 4396 of 575 Nazareth 3478 of Galilee. 1056

 21:12 ¶ And 2532 Jesus 2424 went 1525 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 temple 2411 of God, 2316 and 2532 cast out 1544 z5627 all x3956 them y3956 that sold 4453 z5723 and 2532 bought 59 z5723 in 1722 the x3588 temple, 2411 and 2532 overthrew 2690 z5656 the x3588 tables 5132 of the x3588 moneychangers, 2855 and 2532 the x3588 seats 2515 of them that sold 4453 z5723 doves, 4058

 21:13 And 2532 said 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 It is written, 1125 z5769 My 3450 house 3624 shall be called 2564 z5701 the house 3624 of prayer; 4335 but 1161 ye 5210 have made 4160 z5656 it 846 a den 4693 of thieves. 3027

 21:14 And 2532 the blind 5185 and 2532 the lame 5560 came 4334 z5656 to him 846 in 1722 the x3588 temple; 2411 and 2532 he healed 2323 z5656 them. 846

 21:15 And 1161 when the x3588 chief priests 749 and 2532 scribes 1122 saw 1492 z5631 the x3588 wonderful things 2297 that 3739 he did, 4160 z5656 and 2532 the x3588 children 3816 crying 2896 z5723 in 1722 the x3588 temple, 2411 and 2532 saying, 3004 z5723 Hosanna 5614 to the x3588 Son 5207 of David; 1138 they were sore displeased, 23 z5656

 21:16 And 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Hearest x191 thou y191 z5719 what 5101 these 3778 say? 3004 z5719 And y1161 x2532 Jesus 2424 saith 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 Yea; 3483 have ye never y3763 x3762 read, 314 z5627 y3754 Out of 1537 the mouth 4750 of babes 3516 and 2532 sucklings 2337 z5723 thou hast perfected 2675 z5668 praise? 136

 21:17 ¶ And 2532 he left 2641 z5631 them, 846 and went 1831 z5627 out x1854 of y1854 the x3588 city 4172 into 1519 Bethany; 963 and 2532 he lodged 835 z5675 there. 1563

 21:18 Now 1161 in the morning 4405 as he returned 1877 z5723 into 1519 the x3588 city, 4172 he hungered. 3983 z5656

 21:19 And 2532 when he saw 1492 z5631 a 3391 fig tree 4808 in 1909 the x3588 way, 3598 he came 2064 z5627 to 1909 it, 846 and 2532 found 2147 z5627 nothing 3762 thereon, 1722 846 but 1508 leaves 5444 only, 3440 and 2532 said 3004 z5719 unto it, 846 Let no y1096 z0 fruit 2590 grow 1096 z5638 on 1537 thee 4675 henceforward 3371 for y1519 ever. 165 x1519 And 2532 presently 3916 the x3588 fig tree 4808 withered away. 3583 z5681

 21:20 And 2532 when the x3588 disciples 3101 saw 1492 z5631 [it], they marvelled, 2296 z5656 saying, 3004 z5723 How 4459 soon 3916 is the x3588 fig tree 4808 withered away! 3583 z5681

 21:21 x1161 Jesus 2424 answered 611 z5679 and y1161 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 If 1437 ye have 2192 z5725 faith, 4102 and 2532 doubt 1252 z5686 not, 3361 ye shall y4160 z0 not 3756 only 3440 z0 do 4160 z5692 this y3440 x3588 [which is done] to the x3588 fig tree, 4808 but 235 also if 2579 ye shall say 2036 z5632 unto this 5129 mountain, 3735 Be thou removed, 142 z5682 and 2532 be thou cast 906 z5682 into 1519 the x3588 sea; 2281 it shall be done. 1096 z5695

 21:22 And 2532 all things, 3956 whatsoever 302 3745 ye shall ask 154 z5661 in 1722 prayer, 4335 believing, 4100 z5723 ye shall receive. 2983 z5695

 21:23 ¶ And 2532 when he 846 was come 2064 z5631 into 1519 the x3588 temple, 2411 the x3588 chief priests 749 and 2532 the x3588 elders 4245 of the x3588 people 2992 came 4334 z5656 unto him 846 as he was teaching, 1321 z5723 and said, 3004 z5723 By 1722 what 4169 authority 1849 doest x4160 thou y4160 z5719 these things? 5023 and 2532 who 5101 gave 1325 z5656 thee 4671 this 5026 authority? 1849

 21:24 And 1161 Jesus 2424 answered 611 z5679 and said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 I also 2504 will ask 2065 z5692 you 5209 one 1520 thing, 3056 which 3739 if 1437 ye tell 2036 z5632 me, 3427 I in like wise 2504 will tell 2046 z5692 you 5213 by 1722 what 4169 authority 1849 I do 4160 z5719 these things. 5023

 21:25 The x3588 baptism 908 of John, 2491 whence 4159 was x2258 it? y2258 z5713 from 1537 heaven, 3772 or 2228 of 1537 men? y444 And 1161 x444 they x3588 reasoned 1260 z5711 with 3844 themselves, 1438 saying, 3004 z5723 If 1437 we shall say, 2036 z5632 From 1537 heaven; 3772 he will say 2046 z5692 unto us, 2254 Why 1302 did ye y4100 z0 not 3756 then 3767 believe 4100 z5656 him? 846

 21:26 But 1161 if 1437 we shall say, 2036 z5632 Of 1537 men; 444 we fear 5399 z5736 the x3588 people; 3793 for 1063 all 3956 hold 2192 z5719 John 2491 as 5613 a prophet. 4396

 21:27 And 2532 they answered 611 z5679 Jesus, 2424 and said, 2036 z5627 We cannot y3756 tell. 1492 z5758 x3756 And 2532 he 846 said 5346 z5713 unto them, 846 Neither 3761 tell 3004 z5719 I 1473 you 5213 by 1722 what 4169 authority 1849 I do 4160 z5719 these things. 5023

 21:28 ¶ But 1161 what 5101 think 1380 z5719 ye? 5213 A [certain] man 444 had 2192 z5707 two 1417 sons; 5043 and 2532 he came 4334 z5631 to the x3588 first, 4413 and said, 2036 z5627 Son, 5043 go 5217 z5720 work 2038 z5737 to day 4594 in 1722 my 3450 vineyard. 290

 21:29 He x3588 answered 611 y1161 z5679 and said, 2036 z5627 I will 2309 z5719 not: 3756 but 1161 afterward 5305 he repented, 3338 z5679 and went. 565 z5627

 21:30 And 2532 he came 4334 z5631 to the x3588 second, 1208 and said 2036 z5627 likewise. 5615 And 1161 he x3588 answered 611 z5679 and said, 2036 z5627 I 1473 [go], sir: 2962 and 2532 went 565 z5627 not. 3756

 21:31 Whether 5101 of 1537 them x3588 twain 1417 did 4160 z5656 the x3588 will 2307 of [his] father? y3962 They x3962 say 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 The x3588 first. 4413 Jesus 2424 saith 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 the x3588 publicans 5057 and 2532 the x3588 harlots 4204 go y4254 z0 into y1519 the kingdom y932 of God y2316 before 4254 z5719 x1519 x3588 x932 x2316 you. 5209

 21:32 For 1063 John 2491 came 2064 z5627 unto 4314 you 5209 in 1722 the way 3598 of righteousness, 1343 and 2532 ye believed 4100 z5656 him 846 not: 3756 but 1161 the x3588 publicans 5057 and 2532 the x3588 harlots 4204 believed 4100 z5656 him: 846 and 1161 ye, 5210 when ye had seen 1492 z5631 [it], repented 3338 z5675 not 3756 afterward, 5305 that ye might believe 4100 z5658 him. 846

 21:33 ¶ Hear 191 z5657 another 243 parable: 3850 There was 2258 z5713 a certain 5100 y444 householder, 3617 which 3748 planted 5452 z5656 a vineyard, 290 and 2532 hedged y5418 it y846 round about, 4060 z5656 x846 x5418 and 2532 digged 3736 z5656 a winepress 3025 in 1722 it, 846 and 2532 built 3618 z5656 a tower, 4444 and 2532 let y1554 z0 it y846 out 1554 z5639 x846 to husbandmen, 1092 and 2532 went into a far country: 589 z5656

 21:34 And 1161 when 3753 the x3588 time 2540 of the x3588 fruit 2590 drew near, 1448 z5656 he sent 649 z5656 his y846 x848 servants 1401 to 4314 the x3588 husbandmen, 1092 that they might receive 2983 z5629 the x3588 fruits 2590 of it. 846

 21:35 And 2532 the x3588 husbandmen 1092 took 2983 z5631 his 846 servants, 1401 and beat 1194 z5656 one, 3739 y3303 x303 and 1161 killed 615 z5656 another, 3739 and 1161 stoned 3036 z5681 another. 3739

 21:36 Again, 3825 he sent 649 z5656 other 243 servants 1401 more 4119 than the x3588 first: 4413 and 2532 they did 4160 z5656 unto them 846 likewise. 5615

 21:37 But 1161 last x5305 of all y5305 he sent 649 z5656 unto 4314 them 846 his y846 x848 son, 5207 saying, 3004 z5723 They will reverence 1788 z5691 my 3450 son. 5207

 21:38 But 1161 when the x3588 husbandmen 1092 saw 1492 z5631 the x3588 son, 5207 they said 2036 z5627 among 1722 themselves, 1438 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 heir; 2818 come, 1205 z5773 let us kill 615 z5725 him, 846 and 2532 let us seize y2722 z5632 on x2722 his 846 inheritance. 2817

 21:39 And 2532 they caught 2983 z5631 him, 846 and x2532 cast 1544 z5627 [him] out x1854 of y1854 the x3588 vineyard, 290 and 2532 slew 615 z5656 [him].

 21:40 When 3752 the x3588 lord 2962 therefore 3767 of the x3588 vineyard 290 cometh, 2064 z5632 what 5101 will he do 4160 z5692 unto those 1565 husbandmen? 1092

 21:41 They say 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 He will miserably 2560 destroy 622 z5692 those 846 wicked men, 2556 and 2532 will let out 1554 z5695 [his] vineyard 290 unto other 243 husbandmen, 1092 which 3748 shall render 591 z5692 him 846 the x3588 fruits 2590 in 1722 their 846 seasons. 2540

 21:42 Jesus 2424 saith 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 Did ye y314 z0 never y3763 x3762 read 314 z5627 in 1722 the x3588 scriptures, 1124 The stone 3037 which 3739 the x3588 builders 3618 z5723 rejected, 593 z5656 the same 3778 is become 1096 z5675 y1519 the x1519 head 2776 of the corner: 1137 this 3778 is y3844 x1096 the Lord's y2962 doing, y1096 z5633 x3844 x2962 and 2532 it is 2076 z5748 marvellous 2298 in 1722 our 2257 eyes? 3788

 21:43 Therefore 1223 5124 say x3004 I y3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 y3754 The x3588 kingdom 932 of God 2316 shall be taken 142 z5701 from 575 you, 5216 and 2532 given 1325 z5701 to a nation 1484 bringing forth 4160 z5723 the x3588 fruits 2590 thereof. 846

 21:44 And 2532 whosoever shall fall 4098 z5631 on 1909 this 5126 stone 3037 shall be broken: 4917 z5701 but 1161 on 1909 whomsoever 3739 302 it shall fall, 4098 z5632 it will grind y3039 z0 him y846 to powder. 3039 z5692 x846

 21:45 And 2532 when the x3588 chief priests 749 and 2532 Pharisees 5330 had heard 191 z5660 his 846 parables, 3850 they perceived 1097 z5627 that 3754 he spake 3004 z5719 of 4012 them. 846

 21:46 But 2532 when they sought 2212 z5723 to lay hands 2902 z5658 on him, 846 they feared 5399 z5675 the x3588 multitude, 3793 because 1894 they took 2192 z5707 him 846 for 5613 a prophet. 4396
