Matthew 21:18 - 46
1. Matthew 21:18 – 22 In the event of Jesus encountering a
barren fig tree that he causes to wither thus causing the disciples to ask how
it withered to which Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not

mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done, so if you
believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

2. Matthew 21:23 – 27 When the chief priests and elders
questioned Jesus by what authority be does what he does to which he replied
asking by them by whose authority did John the Baptist’s baptism come from,
which confounded the priests as if they acknowledge it came from God, then why
didn’t they believe or if of human origin then they may receive the anger of
the people, so they just said that they did not know so Jesus replied in kind
that he would not answer them.
3. Matthew 21:28 – 32 Jesus teaches from the parable of the
two sons (with differing attitudes toward work) and the father who tells his
sons to work in the vineyard, summarizing the story about belief and
repentance, chastising them that they do not do either, so will not be entering
the kingdom of heaven.
4. Matthew 21:33 – 46 Jesus teaches the parable of the
landowner of vineyards and the farmers he rents to teaching about that God will
take away resources (that are His to give) and give them to followers who will
produce, which made the priests feel convicted but looked for a way to arrest
Jesus, and were afraid of the people (again).
