📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Matthew 21 records Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as he sends two disciples to fetch a tied ass and colt and rides into the city while crowds spread garments and branches, crying 'Hosanna to the Son of David.' He drives out those buying and selling in the temple and overturns the moneychangers' tables, and the next morning curses a fig tree that withers at once, teaching his disciples about faith and prayer. The chapter closes with the chief priests and elders challenging his authority, to which Jesus replies with the parable of the two sons and the wicked husbandmen, declaring the rejected stone will become the chief cornerstone—so that the leaders perceive he means them but fear the crowds who count him a prophet.
