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 16 the son of David; they were sore displeased, and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, POut of p Ps. 8. 2. the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected 17 praise? ¶ And he left them, and went out of the city into 9 Bethany; and he lodged there. 18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, r Mark 11.12. 19 he hungered. And when he saw 1a fig tree in the s Mark 11.13. 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 20 withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they t Mark 11.20. marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered 21 away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, u If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye u ch. 17. 20. shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, x Jam. 1. 6. y but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou y 1 Cor. 13. 2. removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be 22 done.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, like wise will tell you by what authority I do these 25 things. 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 26 say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? but if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all e ch. 14. 5. 27 hold John as a prophet. And they answered Jesus, Luke 20. 6. and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 ¶ But what think ye?

And the husbandmen took 21. & 36. 16. his servants, and beat one, and killed another, 36 stoned another. Again, he sent other servants 37 than the first: and they did unto them likewise. last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They 38 reverence my son.

But Isai. 60. 12. when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. 22 AND Jesus answered aand spake unto them again 2 by parables, and said, 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 bid4 den to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: bmy b Prov. 9. 2. oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are 5 ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to 6 his merchandise: and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth chis armies, and destroyed those murderers, e Dan. 9. 26. 8 and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were 9 bidden were not dworthy.

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they e ch. 13. 38, found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furII nished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man fwhich had not on f 2 Cor. 5. 3. 12 a wedding garment: and he saith unto him, Friend, Col. 3. 10, 12. how camest thou in hither not having a wedding gar- 16.15.& 19.8. 13 ment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him sinto outer darkness; there 8 ch. 8. 12. 14 shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
