Christ rideth into Jerusalem upon an ass, 1. 12 driveth the buyers and sellers out of the temple, 17 curseth the fig-tree, 23 putteth to silence the priests and elders, 28 and rebuketh them by the similitude of the two sons, 35 and the husbandmen, who slew such as were sent unto them.

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.

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 iwent into a far country:

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servauts to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

more than the first: and they did 36 Again he sent other servants unto them likewise.

37 But last of all, he sent unto them his son, saying. They will

reverence my son.

38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among This is the heir; themselves. "come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

10 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 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?

43 Therefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

41 And whosoever "shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

46 But when they sought to lay bands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took laim for a prophet.
