Authority Challenged
23 (A)When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him (B)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 [a]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 [b]people; for they all regard John as (C)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.
Parable of Two Sons
28 “But what do you think? A man had two [c]sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘[d]Son, go work today in the (D)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 (E)the tax collectors and prostitutes [e]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 (F)the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.
Parable of the Landowner
33 “Listen to another parable. (G)There was a [f]landowner who (H)planted a (I)vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to [g]vine-growers and (J)went on a journey. 34 When the [h]harvest time approached, he (K)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 (L)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 [i]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 (M)will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”
42 Jesus *said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘(N)The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a [j]people, producing the fruit of it. 44 And (O)he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them. 46 When they sought to seize Him, they (P)feared the [k]people, because they considered Him to be a (Q)prophet.
Parable of the Marriage Feast
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2 “(R)The kingdom of heaven [l]may be compared to [m]a king who [n]gave a (S)wedding feast for his son. 3 And he (T)sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. 4 Again he (U)sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own [o]farm, another to his business, 6 and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them. 7 But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8 Then he *said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to (V)the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’ 10 Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with [p]dinner guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw (W)a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he *said to him, ‘(X)Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into (Y)the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are [q](Z)called, but few are (AA)chosen.”
Tribute to Caesar
15 (AB)Then the Pharisees went and [r]plotted together how they might trap Him [s]in what He said. 16 And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the (AC)Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and [t]defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it [u]lawful to give a (AD)poll-tax to (AE)Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus perceived their [v]malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the (AF)coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a [w]denarius. 20 And He *said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “(AG)Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And hearing this, they were amazed, and (AH)leaving Him, they went away.
Jesus Answers the Sadducees
23 (AI)On that day some (AJ)Sadducees (who say (AK)there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him, 24 asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘(AL)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; 26 so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. 27 Last of all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, (AM)not [x]understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (AN)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 32 ‘(AO)I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.” 33 When the crowds heard this, (AP)they were astonished at His teaching.
34 (AQ)But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced (AR)the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together. 35 One of them, [y](AS)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “‘(AT)You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and [z]foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘(AU)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 (AV)On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 (AW)Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: 42 “What do you think about [aa]the Christ, whose son is He?” They *said to Him, “(AX)The son of David.” 43 He *said to them, “Then how does David [ab](AY)in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,
44 ‘(AZ)The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet”’?
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?” 46 (BA)No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him [ac]another question.
Pharisaism Exposed
23 (BB)Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, 2 saying: “(BC)The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; 3 therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. 4 (BD)They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. 5 But they do all their deeds (BE)to be noticed by men; for they (BF)broaden their [ad]phylacteries and lengthen (BG)the tassels of their garments. 6 They (BH)love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called (BI)Rabbi by men. 8 But (BJ)do not be called (BK)Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for (BL)One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 Do not be called [ae]leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. 11 (BM)But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 (BN)Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Eight Woes
13 “(BO)But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, (BP)because you shut off the kingdom of heaven [af]from [ag]people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 [[ah]Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because (BQ)you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one [ai](BR)proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of [aj](BS)hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, (BT)blind guides, who say, ‘(BU)Whoever swears by the [ak]temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the [al]temple is obligated.’ 17 You fools and blind men! (BV)Which is [am]more important, the gold or the [an]temple that sanctified the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the [ao]offering on it, he is obligated.’ 19 You blind men, (BW)which is [ap]more important, the [aq]offering, or the altar that sanctifies the [ar]offering? 20 Therefore, [as]whoever swears by the altar, swears both by [at]the altar and by everything on it. 21 And [au]whoever swears by the [av]temple, swears both by [aw]the temple and by Him who (BX)dwells within it. 22 And [ax]whoever swears by heaven, (BY)swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
23 “(BZ)Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and [ay]cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. 24 You (CA)blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For (CB)you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full [az]of robbery and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee, first (CC)clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
27 “(CD)Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “(CE)Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves, that you (CF)are [ba]sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You serpents, (CG)you brood of vipers, how [bb]will you escape the [bc]sentence of [bd](CH)hell?
34 “(CI)Therefore, behold, (CJ)I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will (CK)scourge in your synagogues, and (CL)persecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous (CM)Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the (CN)son of Berechiah, whom (CO)you murdered between the [be]temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon (CP)this generation.
Lament over Jerusalem
37 “(CQ)Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who (CR)kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, (CS)the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. 38 Behold, (CT)your house is being left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘(CU)Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

New International Version
Matthew 21:23-23:39
New International Version
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(A)
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(B) 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. 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?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(C)
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.
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.’(D)
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.
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(E) and the prostitutes(F) are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,(G) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors(H) and the prostitutes(I) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent(J) and believe him.
The Parable of the Tenants(K)
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted(L) a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.(M) Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.(N) 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants(O) to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.(P) 36 Then he sent other servants(Q) to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir.(R) Come, let’s kill him(S) and take his inheritance.’(T) 39 So 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 tenants?”
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,”(U) they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants,(V) 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’[a]?(W)
43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you(X) and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”[b](Y)
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 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.(Z)
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(AA)
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like(AB) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants(AC) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants(AD) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(AE) and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners(AF) and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good,(AG) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend(AH)?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(AI)
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(AJ)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(AK)
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(AL) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[c](AM) to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(AN) and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(AO)
Marriage at the Resurrection(AP)
23 That same day the Sadducees,(AQ) who say there is no resurrection,(AR) came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.(AS) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures(AT) or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;(AU) they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[d]?(AV) He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.(AW)
The Greatest Commandment(AX)
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,(AY) the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law,(AZ) tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[e](BA) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[f](BB) 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”(BC)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(BD)
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”
“The son of David,”(BE) they replied.
43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet.”’[g](BF)
45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.(BG)
A Warning Against Hypocrisy(BH)(BI)
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law(BJ) and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.(BK)
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see:(BL) They make their phylacteries[h](BM) wide and the tassels on their garments(BN) long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;(BO) 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.(BP)
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(BQ) and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(BR) 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(BS)
Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!(BT) You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.(BU) [14] [i]
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,(BV) and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell(BW) as you are.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides!(BX) You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’(BY) 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?(BZ) 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?(CA) 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells(CB) in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(CC)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth(CD) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.(CE) You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides!(CF) You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish,(CG) but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.(CH) 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,(CI) which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets(CJ) and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.(CK) 32 Go ahead, then, and complete(CL) what your ancestors started!(CM)
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers!(CN) How will you escape being condemned to hell?(CO) 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify;(CP) others you will flog in your synagogues(CQ) and pursue from town to town.(CR) 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel(CS) to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah,(CT) whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.(CU) 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.(CV)
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,(CW) how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(CX) and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(CY) 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[j]”(CZ)
