| Matthew 21:20 |
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away? |
| Matthew 21:21 |

| Matthew 21:30 |
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not. |

| Matthew 21:34 |
And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits. |
| Matthew 21:35 |

| Matthew 21:37 |
But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. |
| Matthew 21:38 |

| Matthew 21:39 |
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. |
| Matthew 21:40 |
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? |

| Matthew 22:2 |
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son, |
| Matthew 22:3 |
and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come. |
| Matthew 22:4 |
Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast. |
| Matthew 22:5 |
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise; |
| Matthew 22:6 |
and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them. |
| Matthew 22:7 |
But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. |
| Matthew 22:8 |
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. |
| Matthew 22:9 |
Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. |
| Matthew 22:10 |
And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests. |
| Matthew 22:11 |
But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment: |
| Matthew 22:12 |
and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. |
| Matthew 22:13 |
Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. |
| Matthew 22:14 |
For many are called, but few chosen. |
| Matthew 22:15 |

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? |
| Matthew 22:18 |
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites? |
| Matthew 22:19 |
Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius. |
| Matthew 22:20 |
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? |
| Matthew 22:21 |
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. |
| Matthew 22:22 |
And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away. |
