WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.380 Chapter 21 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, 00:06.580 --> 00:11.380 unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus to disciples, saying unto them, 00:11.640 --> 00:15.400 Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, 00:15.880 --> 00:16.740 and a colt with her. 00:17.500 --> 00:19.040 Loose them, and bring them unto me. 00:19.520 --> 00:24.500 And if any man say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them. 00:25.000 --> 00:26.480 And straightway he will send them. 00:26.480 --> 00:31.040 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, 00:31.180 --> 00:36.700 saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy king cometh unto thee, 00:37.100 --> 00:41.560 meek and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the fool of an ass. 00:42.540 --> 00:47.080 And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass and 00:47.080 --> 00:51.420 the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 00:51.980 --> 00:55.080 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way. 00:55.080 --> 00:58.720 Others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 00:59.260 --> 01:03.960 And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying, Hosanna to 01:03.960 --> 01:04.920 the Son of David! 01:05.060 --> 01:07.420 Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! 01:07.620 --> 01:08.980 Hosanna in the highest! 01:09.380 --> 01:13.400 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 01:13.600 --> 01:14.520 Who is this? 01:14.680 --> 01:18.840 And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, of Galilee. 01:22.500 --> 01:28.060 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought 01:28.060 --> 01:32.080 in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them 01:32.080 --> 01:37.060 that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called 01:37.060 --> 01:40.360 the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves. 01:40.660 --> 01:44.680 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 01:45.420 --> 01:48.820 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, 01:48.820 --> 01:53.360 and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! 01:53.760 --> 01:58.680 They were sore displeased, and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? 01:59.020 --> 02:03.560 And Jesus saith unto them, Yea, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of 02:03.560 --> 02:06.020 babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 02:06.220 --> 02:10.580 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there. 02:12.040 --> 02:15.480 Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered. 02:16.000 --> 02:20.440 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon 02:20.440 --> 02:25.240 but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for 02:25.240 --> 02:25.480 ever. 02:25.900 --> 02:28.800 And presently the fig tree withered away. 02:29.500 --> 02:34.000 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig 02:34.000 --> 02:34.900 tree withered away? 02:35.460 --> 02:40.480 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith 02:40.480 --> 02:44.440 and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, 02:44.880 --> 02:48.920 but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou 02:48.920 --> 02:51.840 cast into the sea, it shall be done. 02:52.640 --> 02:58.020 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 02:58.260 --> 03:02.480 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the 03:02.480 --> 03:06.780 people came unto him, as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou 03:06.780 --> 03:07.440 these things? 03:07.760 --> 03:09.200 And who gave thee this authority? 03:10.080 --> 03:13.980 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, 03:13.980 --> 03:18.500 which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 03:19.740 --> 03:23.480 The baptism of John, whence was it, from heaven or of men? 03:23.780 --> 03:28.100 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say from heaven, 03:28.580 --> 03:32.000 he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? 03:32.040 --> 03:37.480 But if we shall say of men, we fear the people, for all hold John as a prophet. 03:38.100 --> 03:40.900 And they answered Jesus and said, We cannot tell. 03:41.160 --> 03:45.820 And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 03:46.640 --> 03:47.580 But what think ye? 03:48.540 --> 03:50.500 A certain man had two sons. 03:51.220 --> 03:55.240 And he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. 03:55.800 --> 03:57.820 He answered and said, I will not. 03:58.220 --> 03:59.820 But afterward he repented and went. 04:00.560 --> 04:02.300 And he came to the second and said likewise. 04:03.240 --> 04:07.280 And he answered and said, I go, sir, and went not. 04:08.100 --> 04:10.580 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? 04:10.920 --> 04:12.760 They say unto him, The first. 04:13.220 --> 04:18.560 Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go 04:18.560 --> 04:20.340 into the kingdom of God before you. 04:21.080 --> 04:25.100 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not. 04:25.680 --> 04:28.020 But the publicans and the harlots believed him. 04:28.500 --> 04:32.960 And ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward that ye might believe him. 04:33.860 --> 04:35.180 Hear another parable. 04:36.480 --> 04:40.300 There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard and hedged it 04:40.300 --> 04:45.120 round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and led it out to 04:45.120 --> 04:47.140 husbandmen, and went into a far country. 04:47.920 --> 04:51.980 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, 04:52.040 --> 04:53.580 that they might receive the fruits of it. 04:54.240 --> 04:57.500 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, 04:57.820 --> 04:58.660 and stoned another. 04:59.620 --> 05:03.760 Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did unto them likewise. 05:04.740 --> 05:10.340 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 05:11.340 --> 05:16.660 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the 05:16.660 --> 05:16.980 heir. 05:17.520 --> 05:20.580 Come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 05:21.620 --> 05:25.120 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 05:26.220 --> 05:30.060 When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those 05:30.060 --> 05:30.540 husbandmen? 05:30.800 --> 05:36.040 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out 05:36.040 --> 05:40.880 his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their 05:40.880 --> 05:41.340 seasons. 05:42.000 --> 05:47.300 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the 05:47.300 --> 05:50.560 builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner. 05:51.220 --> 05:54.800 This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. 05:55.760 --> 06:00.840 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to 06:00.840 --> 06:02.940 a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 06:03.720 --> 06:09.460 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it 06:09.460 --> 06:12.700 shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 06:13.000 --> 06:17.320 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived 06:17.320 --> 06:18.540 that he spake of them. 06:19.320 --> 06:23.620 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they 06:23.620 --> 06:24.700 took him for a prophet.
