Luke 19:27

Matthew 21:41

21:41 They said to him, “He will utterly destroy those evil men! Then he will lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his portion at the harvest.”

Matthew 21:44

Matthew 21:1

The Triumphal Entry

21:1 Now ⁷  when they approached Jerusalem ⁸  and came to Bethphage, ⁹  at the Mount of Olives, ¹⁰  Jesus sent two disciples,

Matthew 2:16

2:16 When Herod ¹¹  saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he became enraged. He sent men ¹²  to kill all the children in Bethlehem ¹³  and throughout the surrounding region from the age of two and under, according to the time he had learned from the wise men.

Hebrews 10:26-31

10:26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, ¹⁴  10:27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury ¹⁵  of fire that will consume God’s enemies. ¹⁶  10:28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death ¹⁷  without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ¹⁸  10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for ¹⁹  the Son of God, and profanes ²⁰  the blood of the covenant that made him holy, ²¹  and insults the Spirit of grace? 10:30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” ²²  and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” ²³  10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

James 4:17

4:17 So whoever knows what is good to do ²⁶  and does not do it is guilty of sin. ²⁷ 

[19:27]  ¹ tn Grk “to rule over them.”

[19:27]  ² tn This term, when used of people rather than animals, has some connotations of violence and mercilessness (L&N 20.72).

[19:27]  ³ sn Slaughter them. To reject the king is to face certain judgment from him.

[19:43]  ⁴ sn Jesus now predicted the events that would be fulfilled in the fall of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. The details of the siege have led some to see Luke writing this after Jerusalem’s fall, but the language of the verse is like God’s exilic judgment for covenant unfaithfulness (Hab 2:8; Jer 6:6, 14; 8:13-22; 9:1; Ezek 4:2; 26:8; Isa 29:1-4). Specific details are lacking and the procedures described (build an embankment against you) were standard Roman military tactics.

[19:43]  ⁵ sn An embankment refers to either wooden barricades or earthworks, or a combination of the two.

[21:44]  ⁶ tc A few witnesses, especially of the Western text (D 33 it sy^s Or Eus^syr), do not contain 21:44. However, the verse is found in א B C L W Z (Θ) 0102 Ë^1,13 Ï lat sy^c,p,h co and should be included as authentic.

[21:1]  ⁹ sn The exact location of the village of Bethphage is not known. Most put it on the southeast side of the Mount of Olives and northwest of Bethany, about 1.5 miles (3 km) east of Jerusalem.

[21:1]  ¹⁰ sn “Mountain” in English generally denotes a higher elevation than it often does in reference to places in Palestine. The Mount of Olives is really a ridge running north to south about 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) long, east of Jerusalem across the Kidron Valley. Its central elevation is about 30 meters (100 ft) higher than Jerusalem. It was named for the large number of olive trees which grew on it.

[2:16]  ¹¹ sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1. Note the fulfillment of the prophecy given by the angel in 2:13.
