on the road, while others
began cutting down branches
from the trees and spreading
when the disciples saw this, they
wondered, saying: “How is it that
the fig tree withered instantly?” a
21 In answer Jesus said to them:

23 Now after he went into the
temple, the chief priests and the
older men of the people came
up to him while he was teaching
and said: e “By what authority
do you do these things? And
who gave you this authority?” f
24 In reply Jesus said to them:
Jerusalem, h the whole city was
set in commotion, saying: “Who
is this?” 11 The crowds kept
telling: “This is the prophet i Jesus,
from Naza·reth of Gali·lee!”
12 And Jesus entered into the
temple and threw out all those
selling and buying in the temple,
and overturned the tables
of the money changers and the
benches of those selling doves. j
13 And he said to them: “It is
written, ‘My house will be called
a house of prayer,’ k but YOU are
making it a cave of robbers.” l
14 Also, blind and lame persons
came up to him in the temple,
and he cured them.

the scribes saw the marvelousthingshedid

indignant 16 and said to
him: “Do you hear what these are
saying?” Jesus said to them: “Yes.
Did YOU never read p this,
‘Out of the mouth of babes
and sucklings you have furnished
praise’?” q 17 And leaving
them behind he went outside

“I, also, will ask YOU one thing. If
YOU tell it to me, I also will
tell YOU by what authority I do
these things: g 25 The baptism
by John, from what source was
it? From heaven or from men?” h
But they began to reason among
themselves, saying: “If we say,
‘From heaven,’ he will say to us,
‘Why, then, did YOU not believe
him?’ i 26 If, though, we say,
‘From men,’ we have the crowd
to fear, j for they all hold John as
aprophet.” k 27 So in answer to
Jesus they said: “We do not
know.” He, in turn, said to them:
“Neither am I telling YOU by what
authority I do these things. l
28 “What do YOU think? A man
had two children. m Going up to
the first, he said, ‘Child, go work
today in the vineyard.’ 29 In

sir,’ n butdidnotgoout. 30 Approaching
the second, he said
the same. In reply this one said,
‘I will not.’ Afterwards he felt regret

Jesus said to them: “Truly I say
to YOU that the tax collectors
and the harlots are going ahead
