Jesus at the Temple and the Mount of Olives

Matthew 21:28-32

²³ When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?” 

²⁴ Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. 

²⁵ The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?” And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ 

²⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the people; for they all regard John as a prophet.” 

²⁷ And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁸ “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’ 

²⁹ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went. 

³⁰ The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go. 

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?”They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you. 

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

Matthew 24:3-14

³ As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. 

⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 

⁶ You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 

⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. 

⁸ But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

⁹ “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 

¹⁰ At that time many will all away and will betray one another and hate one another. 

¹¹ Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. 

¹² Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. 

¹³ But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. 

¹⁴ This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

"The Parable of the Vineyard"

Matthew 21:33-41

³³ “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey. 

³⁴ When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce. 

³⁵ The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third. 

³⁶ Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them. 

³⁷ But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 

³⁸ But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 

³⁹ They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 

⁴⁰ Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?” 

⁴¹ They said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”
