(September, 23-2016 on Friday)
Matthew 21: 45 When the chief priests and the
Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew He was
talking about them. (9)
369
43 “Therefore
I tell you that the Kingdom of GOD will be taken away from you and given to a
people who will produce its fruit. (7)
44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to
pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
138
34 When
the harvest time approached,
He(GOD the Father)
sent His servants to the tenants to collect His fruit. (7)
35 “The tenants seized His
servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Then He sent other servants to
them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.
369
25 John’s
baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?” They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From
heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ (7)
26 But if we say, ‘Of
human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a
prophet.”
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Then He said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am
doing these things.
369
16 “Do
you hear what these children are saying?” they asked Him. “Yes,”
replied Jesus, “have you never
read, “‘From the lips of
children and infants You, Lord, have called forth Your praise’?”
(7)
17 And He left them
and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
Jesus Curses a Fig
Tree
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on His way back to the city, He was hungry.
369
7 They
brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. (7)
8 A very large crowd
spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and
spread them on the road.
9 The crowds that
went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed
is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the
Highest Heaven!”
369
40 “Therefore,
when the Owner of the vineyard comes, what will He do to those tenants?”
(4)
41 “He will bring
those wretches to a wretched End,” they replied, “and He will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give Him His share of the crop at Harvest Time.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the
Scriptures: “‘The stone the
builders rejected has become the Cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our
eyes’?
369
31 “Which
of the two did what his Father wanted?” “The
first,” they answered. Jesus said to them,
“Truly I tell
you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of GOD
ahead of you. (4)
32 For John came to you to show you the way of Righteousness,
and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did.
And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
The Parable of the
Tenants
33 “Listen to another parable:
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a
winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then He rented the vineyard to some
farmers and moved to another place(the Heaven).
369
22 If
you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
(4)
The Authority of
Jesus Questioned
23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while He was teaching, the
chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him. “By what Authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this Authority?”
24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you
one question. If you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing
these things.
369
13 “It
is written,” He said to them, “‘My house will
be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of
robbers.’” (4)
14 The blind and the
lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.
15 But when the chief
priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things He did and the
children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were
indignant.
369
4 This
took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: (4)
5 “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, Gentle and Riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of
a donkey.’”
6 The disciples went
and did as Jesus had instructed
them.
369
46 They
looked for a way to arrest Him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the
people held that He was a Prophet.
(1)
147
37 Last of all, He(GOD the Father) sent His Son(Jesus) to them. ‘They will respect My
Son,’ He said. (1)
38 “But when the tenants saw the Son, they said to each other, ‘This is the Heir. Come, let’s kill Him and take His
Inheritance.’
39 So they took Him and threw Him out of the vineyard
and killed Him.
138
The Parable of the
Two Sons
28 “What
do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said,
‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ (1)
29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but
later he changed his mind and went.
30 “Then the Father went to the
other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, Sir,’ but he did not go.
138
19 Seeing
a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found
nothing on it except leaves. Then He said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered. (1)
20 When the disciples
saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig
tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you,
if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the
fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the
sea,’ and it will be done.
138
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
(1)
11 The crowds
answered, “This is Jesus, the
Prophet(GOD) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and
selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches
of those selling doves.
138
Jesus Comes to
Jerusalem as King
1 As they approached Jerusalem
and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, (1)
2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you
will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them
to Me.
3 If anyone says anything to you,
say that the Lord needs them,
and He will send them right away.”
