மத்தேயு 21

When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, 1 to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, Mrk 11:1-10Zec 14:4Act 1:12Jhn 8:1Luk 19:28-38Luk 21:37Mat 24:3Mat 26:30 saying to them, “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. Luk 19:30-32Mrk 11:2-3Jhn 2:5-8Mrk 14:13-16Mat 26:18 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.” 2Co 8:1-2Act 17:252Co 8:9Jhn 3:35Psa 50:10-11Ezr 1:5Ezr 7:27Hag 2:8-9

All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, Zec 9:9Jhn 12:15Mat 1:22Mat 26:56Jhn 19:36-37

“Tell the daughter of Zion, Zec 9:9-10Isa 62:11Isa 12:6Isa 9:6-7Gen 49:10Hos 1:7Zep 3:14-15Isa 40:9

behold, your King comes to you,

humble, and riding on a donkey,

on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” 2

The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them, 1Sa 15:11Exo 39:43Exo 40:16Gen 12:4Gen 6:22Jhn 15:14 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them. 2Ki 9:13Mrk 11:4-8Luk 19:32-35 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 2Ki 9:13Jhn 12:13Lev 23:40 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna 3 to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 4 Psa 118:24-26Jhn 12:13-15Luk 2:14Mat 23:39Luk 19:37-38Mat 9:27Mat 21:15Mrk 11:9-10

When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” Act 9:51Sa 16:4Isa 63:1Jhn 12:16-19Luk 5:21Luk 7:49Luk 9:9Rut 1:19

The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Jhn 6:14Jhn 7:40Luk 7:16Act 7:37Deu 18:15-19Jhn 9:17Mat 2:23Act 3:22-23

Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. Jhn 2:14-17Luk 19:45-47Mrk 11:15-18Lev 1:14Lev 5:7Luk 2:24Deu 14:24-26Exo 30:13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ 5 but you have made it a den of robbers!” 6 Jer 7:11Isa 56:7Luk 19:46Mrk 11:17Psa 93:5Jhn 15:25Mat 2:5

The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them. Act 10:38Act 3:1-9Isa 35:5Mat 11:4-5Mat 4:23Mat 9:35 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant, Mat 21:9Luk 19:39-40Isa 26:11Jhn 11:57Jhn 12:19Jhn 4:1Jhn 7:42Luk 20:1 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Psa 8:2Mat 11:25Luk 19:39-40Mat 12:3Mat 19:4Mrk 2:25Act 4:16-18Jhn 11:47-48

Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?” 7

He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there. Jhn 11:18Jhn 11:1Luk 24:50Mrk 11:11Mat 16:4Mrk 11:19Jhn 12:1-3Luk 10:38

Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry. Mat 4:2Heb 4:15Mat 12:1Mrk 11:12-14Mrk 11:20-24Luk 4:2 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!” Jhn 15:6Mrk 11:14Tit 1:16Luk 13:6-9Luk 3:9Jhn 15:22Ti 3:5Isa 5:4-5

Immediately the fig tree withered away.

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?” Isa 40:6-8Mrk 11:20-21Jas 1:10-11

Jesus answered them, “Most 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. Jas 1:6Mat 17:20Mrk 11:22-23Luk 17:6-7Rom 4:19-201Co 13:2Mat 8:12 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Mat 7:71Jn 5:14-15Mrk 11:241Jn 3:22Jhn 14:13Luk 11:8-10Mat 18:19Jas 5:16

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?” Act 4:7Mrk 11:27-331Ch 24:1-19Exo 2:14Luk 19:47Mat 26:55Act 7:27

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. Luk 6:9Col 4:6Mat 10:16Pro 26:4-5 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” 1Jn 3:20Mrk 1:1-11Jhn 1:15Jhn 10:25-26Jhn 3:18Luk 20:5Mat 3:1-12Jhn 1:25-34

They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.” Mrk 6:20Jhn 5:35Mat 11:9Mat 14:5Mat 21:46Act 5:26Isa 57:11Jhn 10:41-42 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” Rom 1:18-222Th 2:9-102Co 4:3Isa 28:9Isa 29:10-12Isa 42:19-20Isa 56:10-11Isa 6:10

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.’ 1Co 15:58Mat 20:11Co 10:15Luk 15:11-32Mrk 13:34Luk 13:4Mat 17:25Mat 21:33 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went. Ezk 18:28-321Co 6:112Ch 33:10-19Act 26:20Dan 4:34-37Eph 2:1-13Eph 4:17-19Isa 1:16-19 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go. Tit 1:16Ezk 33:31Mat 23:3Rom 2:17-25 Which of the two did the will of his father?” Luk 7:29Luk 7:37-50Mat 7:211Ti 1:13-162Pe 3:9Mat 20:16Rom 3:19Rom 5:20

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 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. Luk 7:37-50Luk 7:29-30Mat 21:25Zec 7:11-122Pe 2:21Act 13:25-292Ti 2:25Heb 3:12

“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. Isa 5:1-4Mrk 12:1-12Luk 20:9-19Jer 2:21Jhn 15:1Sng 8:11-12Hos 4:1Mal 2:4-9 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit. Luk 20:10-19Isa 5:4Zec 1:3-62Ch 36:15-162Ki 17:13-23Jer 25:3-7Mat 22:3Mrk 12:2-5 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 2Ch 36:15-16Heb 11:36-37Mat 5:12Neh 9:26Act 7:52Luk 13:33-34Mat 23:31-37Rev 6:9 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way. Mat 22:4 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ Jhn 3:16Jhn 3:35-36Zep 3:7Heb 1:1-2Isa 5:4Jhn 1:34Luk 20:13Mat 3:17 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’ Gen 37:18-20Luk 20:14Heb 1:2Mrk 12:7-8Act 4:27-28Jhn 11:47-53Mat 26:3-4Act 5:24-28 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him. Act 2:23Act 3:14-15Act 4:25-27Act 7:52Jas 5:6Jhn 18:12Luk 22:52-54Mat 26:57 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?” Heb 10:29Mrk 12:9Luk 20:15-16

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.” Act 18:6Mat 21:43Act 28:28Isa 5:5-7Mat 22:6-71Th 2:16Act 13:46-48Act 15:7

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, Psa 118:22-23Isa 28:16Act 4:111Pe 2:4-8Eph 2:20Rom 9:33Luk 20:17-18Mrk 12:10-11

‘The stone which the builders rejected

was made the head of the corner.

This was from the Lord.

It is marvelous in our eyes’? 8

“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit. Mat 21:41Mat 8:11-121Pe 2:9Jhn 3:3Isa 26:2Luk 17:20-21Jhn 3:5Exo 19:6 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.” Isa 8:14-151Pe 2:8Dan 2:34-35Dan 2:44-45Rom 9:33Luk 20:18Mat 27:252Co 4:3-4

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them. Luk 20:19Luk 11:45Mat 12:12 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet. Mat 21:11Mat 21:262Sa 12:7-13Act 2:22Isa 29:1Jhn 7:40-41Jhn 7:7Luk 7:16
