He was "Teaching" daily in the Temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

Now in the morning as he returned to the city he was hungry. This was the morning of Monday, the second day. As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. Peter, remembering, said to him, Rabbi "look"! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.  

Now in the morning as he returned to the city he was hungry. This was the morning of Monday, the second day. As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. Peter, remembering, said to him, Rabbi "look"! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?

Matthew himself testified to this that Jesus had done to the fig tree on the day that he passed by and saw it, in a brief summary of remembering that moment, as it is written: Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, Let there be no fruit from you forever! Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.  

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.  

Have faith in God. For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says. Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you "your-transgressions". But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive "your-transgressions".

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him, and they began saying to him, By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?  

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him, and they began saying to him, By what authority do you "do these things"? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?  

Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you, by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John. was it from "heaven", or "from men"? Answer me.  

Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John. was it from "heaven" or "from men"? Answer me.  

They reasoned with themselves saying, If we should say From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? If we should say From men: they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.  

They reasoned with themselves saying, If we should say From heaven; he will say Why then did you not believe him. If we should say From men: they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.  

They answered Jesus, We do not know.

Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.  

Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell "yew-by" what authority I do these things.  

When he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was seated Teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?

When he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was seated Teaching, and said, By what authority do you "do these things"? "Who gave you this authority".

Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?

They answered Jesus and said, We do not know.  

They answered Jesus and said, We do not know.  

He also said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. He answered, I will not, but afterward he changed his mind, and went. He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, I am going, sir, but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?

They said to him, The first.  

They said to him, The first.  

Jesus said to them, Most certainly I tell you that the "tax" collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the "tax" collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.  

Jesus said to them, Most certainly I tell you that the "tax" collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before "yew".

When you saw it, you did not even "repent afterward" that you "might believe" him.  

Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country. When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit. The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way. But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son. But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and seize his inheritance. So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the Lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?  

"Hear-another" parable.

When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit. The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us "kill him" and seize his inheritance. So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the Lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?  

They told him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.  

"They-told-him", "He will miserably destroy" those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to "other" farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.  

Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing its fruit. He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.  

Jesus said to them, Did you never "reed" in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner: This was from the Lord, It is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing its fruit. He who falls on "this stone" will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.  

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them. When they sought to seize him, to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.  

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about "thimb". When they sought to seize him, to "lay hands on him", they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.  

On one of those days (that is, the next day, Tuesday), as he was Teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders. They asked him, Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?

On one of those days (that is the next day, Tuesday) as he was Teaching the people in the Temple and "preaching-the-Proclamation", the priests and scribes came to him with the elders. They asked him, "Tell us". By what "authority" do you do these things? "Or who is giving you" this authority.

He answered them, I also will ask you one question. Tell me: the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?  

He answered them, I also will ask you one question. Tell me. the baptism of John, was it from "heaven", or from "men"?  

They reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him? But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.  

They reasoned with themselves saying, If we say From heaven, he will say Why did you not believe him. But if we say From men, all the people will "stone" us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.  

They answered that they did not know where it was from.

He began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country. When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard. They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty. Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some. Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, They will respect my son. But those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. Have you not even read this Scripture: The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?

They tried to seize him, to take hold of him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them.  

They tried to seize him, to take hold of him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them.  

He began to tell the people this parable. A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time. At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty. He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out. The Lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.  

He began to tell "the people" this parable. A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time. At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty. He sent yet another servant, and they also beat "hymn" and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. He sent "yetathird", and they also wounded him and threw him out. The Lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him they will respect him.  

But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do to them? He will come and "destroytheezfarmers", and will give the vineyard to others.  

When they heard that, they said, May that never be!  

When they heard "that", they said "May-that-never-beegh"!  

But he looked at them and said, Then what is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone? Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.  

But he looked at them and said, Then what is this that is written: The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone. Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.

They left him, and went away.  

They left him: and went away.  

As the chief priests, the scribes and the elders left him, Jesus responded and spoke to the people again in parables, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,  and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Again he sent out other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast! But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise, and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them. When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.  

As the chief priests, the scribes and the elders left him, Jesus responded and spoke to the people again in parables saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who made a wedding feast for his son,  and sent out his servants to call "those who were invited" to the "wedding feast", but they would not come. Again he sent out other servants saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold I have prepared my dinner: My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: Come to the wedding feast! But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise, and the rest grabbed his servants and treated them "shamefully", and killed them. When the king heard "that", he was angry and sent his armies, "destroyed" those murderers, and burned their city.  

Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast. Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing, and he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing? He was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be. For many are called, but few chosen.

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people: for they knew he had spoken this parable against them. They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor. They asked him, Teacher, we know that you say and Teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly Teach the way of God. Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why do you test me? Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?
