| And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, | And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, |
| 2 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. | 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. |
| 3 And if any man say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. | 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. |
| 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,228 | |
| 5 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. | |
| 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, | 4 And they went their way and found the colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. |
| 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? | |
| 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. | |
| 7 And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes,229 and they set him thereon. | 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. |
| 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way. | 8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed them in the way. |
| 9 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. | 9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. |
| 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. | |
| 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? | |
| 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. | |
| 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. | |
| 15 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, | |
| 16 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?230 | |
| 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there. | 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the even-tide was come, he went out unto Bethany, with the twelve. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XIX. 29-44. | CH. XII. 12-19. |
| 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, | 12 On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, |
| 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. | |
| 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. | |
| 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. | |
| 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? | |
| 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. | |
| 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt and they set Jesus thereon. | |
| 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. | |
| 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; | 13 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.231 |
| 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. | 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, |
| 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. | |
| 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. | |
| 17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. | |
| 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. | |
| 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. | 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. |
| 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. | |
| 41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it. | |
| 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. | |
| 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, | |
| 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee: and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. |

| CH. XXI. 12, 13, 18, 19. | CH. XI. 12-19. |
| 18 Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered. | 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry. |
| 19 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. | 13 And seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves: for the time of figs was not yet. |
| 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. | |
| 12 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 money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, | 15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves: |
| 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. | |
| 13 And said unto them, It is written,232 My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves. | 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called, of all nations, the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. |
| 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. | |
| 19 And when even was come, he went out of the city. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIX. 45-48. CH. XXI. 37, 38. | |
| 45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, | |
| 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves. | |
| 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, | |
| 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. | |
| CH. XXI. | |
| 37 And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. | |
| 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXI. 20-22. | CH. XI. 20-26. |
| 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. | |
| 20 And when the disciples233 saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered away! | 21 And Peter calling to remembrance, saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursed is withered away. |
| 21 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. | 22 And Jesus answering, saith unto them, Have faith in God. |
| 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. | |
| 22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. | 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. |
| 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. | |
| 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. |

| CH. XXI. 23-32. | CH. XI. 27-33. |
| 23 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? | 27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, |
| 28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? | |
| 24 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. | 29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. |
| 25 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? | 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. |
| 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? | |
| 26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people: for all hold John as a prophet. | 32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. |
| 27 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. | 33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. |
| 28 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. | |
| 29 He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went. | |
| 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. | |
| 31 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. | |
| 32 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. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XX. 1-8. | |
| And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him, with the elders, | |
| 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? | |
| 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: | |
| 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? | |
| 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? | |
| 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. | |
| 7 And they answered, That they could not tell whence it was. | |
| 8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. |

| 33 Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: | And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine-fat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. |
| 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants234 to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. | 2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant,235 that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. |
| 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. | 3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. |
| 36 Again he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. | 4 And again he sent unto them another servant: and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. |
| 5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. | |
| 37 But last of all, he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. | 6 Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. |
| 38 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. | 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. |
| 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. | 8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. |
| 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? | 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. |
| 41 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. | |
| 42 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?236 | 10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: |
| 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. | 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? |
| 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. | |
| 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.237 | |
| 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. | 12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. |
| 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XX. 9-19. | |
| 9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far Country for a long time. | |
| 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. | |
| 11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. | |
| 12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. | |
| 13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. | |
| 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. | |
| 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? | |
| 16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. | |
| 17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? | |
| 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. | |
| 19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. |
| Matthew. | |
| CH. XXII. 1-14. | |
| And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, | |
| 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, | |
| 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. | |
| 4 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. | |
| 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise. | |
| 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. | |
| 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. | |
| 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. | |
| 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. | |
| 10 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. | |
| 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment: | |
| 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. | |
| 13 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.238 | |
| 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. |
| Matthew. | Mark. |
| CH. XXII. 15-22. | CH. XII. 13-17. |
| 15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. | 13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. |
| 16 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. | 14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not? |
| 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not? | |
| 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? | 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. |
| 19 Shew me the tribute-money. And they brought unto him a penny. | 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cesar's. |
| 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image, and superscription? | |
| 21 They say unto him, Cesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar, the things which are Cesar's; and unto God, the things that are God's. | 17 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. |
| 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XX. 20-26. | |
| 20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. | |
| 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: | |
| 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cesar, or no? | |
| 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? | |
| 24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's. | |
| 25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which be Cesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. | |
| 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. |

| CH. XXII. 23-33. | CH. XII. 18-27. |
| 23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, | 18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, |
| 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.239 | 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. |
| 25 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. | 20 Now, there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. |
| 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. | 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. |
| 27 And last of all the woman died also. | 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. |
| 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. | 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. |
| 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. | 24 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? |
| 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. | 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. |
| 31 But, as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, | 26 And as touching the dead, that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? |
| 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?240 God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. | 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. |
| 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XX. 27-40. | |
| 27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees (which deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him, | |
| 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. | |
| 29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. | |
| 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. | |
| 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. | |
| 32 Last of all the woman died also. | |
| 33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. | |
| 34 And Jesus answering, said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: | |
| 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: | |
| 36 Neither can they die any more:241 for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. | |
| 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. | |
| 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. | |
| 39 Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said. | |
| 40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all. |
