Matthew 21:1-46
When they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples,telling them,“ Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to Me.If anyone says anything to you, you should say that the Lord needs them, and immediately he will send them.”This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:Tell Daughter Zion,“ Look, your King is coming to you, gentle, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”The disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them.They brought the donkey and the colt; then they laid their robes on them, and He sat on them.A very large crowd spread their robes on the road; others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.Then the crowds who went ahead of Him and those who followed kept shouting: Hosanna to the Son of David! He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One! Hosanna in the highest heaven!When He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken, saying,“ Who is this?”And the crowds kept saying,“ This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee!”Jesus went into the temple complex and drove out all those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves.And He said to them,“ It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer. But you are making it a den of thieves!”The blind and the lame came to Him in the temple complex, and He healed them.When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders that He did and the children shouting in the temple complex,“ Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignantand said to Him,“ Do You hear what these children are saying?”“ Yes,” Jesus told them.“ Have you never read: You have prepared praise from the mouths of children and nursing infants?”Then He left them, went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.Early in the morning, as He was returning to the city, He was hungry.Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He said to it,“ May no fruit ever come from you again!” At once the fig tree withered.When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and said,“ How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”Jesus answered them,“ I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain,‘ Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.And if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”When He entered the temple complex, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to Him as He was teaching and said,“ By what authority are You doing these things? Who gave You this authority?”Jesus answered them,“ I will also ask you one question, and if you answer it for Me, then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.Where did John’s baptism come from? From heaven or from men?” They began to argue among themselves,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ He will say to us,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But if we say,‘ From men,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought John was a prophet.”So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know.” And He said to them,“ Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.“ But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said,‘ My son, go, work in the vineyard today.’“ He answered,‘ I don’t want to!’ Yet later he changed his mind and went.Then the man went to the other and said the same thing.“‘ I will, sir,’ he answered. But he didn’t go.“ Which of the two did his father’s will?”“ The first,” they said. Jesus said to them,“ I assure you: Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you!For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him. Tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him, but you, when you saw it, didn’t even change your minds then and believe him.“ Listen to another parable: There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower. He leased it to tenant farmers and went away.When the grape harvest drew near, he sent his slaves to the farmers to collect his fruit.But the farmers took his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first group, and they did the same to them.Finally, he sent his son to them.‘ They will respect my son,’ he said.“ But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves,‘ This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance!’So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”“ He will completely destroy those terrible men,” they told Him,“ and lease his vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at the harvest.”Jesus said to them,“ Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This came from the Lord and is wonderful in our eyes?Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing its fruit.Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whoever it falls, it will grind him to powder!”When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they knew He was speaking about them.Although they were looking for a way to arrest Him, they feared the crowds, because they regarded Him as a prophet.

Isaiah 53:4-10
Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains; but we in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquity of us all.He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, He did not open His mouth.He was taken away because of oppression and judgment; and who considered His fate? For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.They made His grave with the wicked and with a rich man at His death, although He had done no violence and had not spoken deceitfully.Yet the Lord was pleased to crush Him severely. When You make Him a restitution offering, He will see His seed, He will prolong His days, and by His hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.

He split wood for a burnt offering and set out to go to the place God had told him about.On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

Matthew 26:1-27
When Jesus had finished saying all this, He told His disciples,“ You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill Him.“ Not during the festival,” they said,“ so there won’t be rioting among the people.”While Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, a man who had a serious skin disease,a woman approached Him with an alabaster jar of very expensive fragrant oil. She poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table.When the disciples saw it, they were indignant.“ Why this waste?” they asked.“ This might have been sold for a great deal and given to the poor.”But Jesus, aware of this, said to them,“ Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for Me.You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.By pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she has prepared Me for burial.I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”Then one of the Twelve— the man called Judas Iscariot— went to the chief priestsand said,“ What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” So they weighed out 30 pieces of silver for him.And from that time he started looking for a good opportunity to betray Him.On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked,“ Where do You want us to prepare the Passover so You may eat it?”“ Go into the city to a certain man,” He said,“ and tell him,‘ The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with My disciples.’”So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.When evening came, He was reclining at the table with the Twelve.While they were eating, He said,“ I assure you: One of you will betray Me.”Deeply distressed, each one began to say to Him,“ Surely not I, Lord?”He replied,“ The one who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl— he will betray Me.The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”Then Judas, His betrayer, replied,“ Surely not I, Rabbi?”“ You have said it,” He told him.As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said,“ Take and eat it; this is My body.”Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them and said,“ Drink from it, all of you.
