Matthew 21
1When
2saying Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘ The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

18Now
19Seeing Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
20When
21Yeshua answered certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’ t 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.
22All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23When
24Yeshua answered I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25The immersion of Yochanan, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “ If we say, ‘ From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘ Why then did you not believe him?’
26But
27They He also said to them, “ Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘ Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29He answered, ‘ I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘ I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’ t go.
31Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “ The first.” Yeshua said to them, “ Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
32For Yochanan came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’ t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’ t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
33“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.
34When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
35The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
37But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘ They will respect my son.’
38But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘ This is the heir. Come, let’ s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41They
42Yeshua said Did you never read in the Scriptures, 1 ‘ The stone which the builders rejected 2 was made the head of the corner. 1 This was from the Lord. 2 It is marvelous in our eyes’? + 21:42 Psalms 118:22-23
43“ Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
