Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Matthew 21 opens with Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey as crowds cry 'Hosanna to the Son of David.' He drives the moneychangers from the temple and curses a fig tree that withers, teaching his disciples about faith. The chapter closes with the chief priests challenging his authority, and Jesus answering with the parables of the two sons and the wicked husbandmen, declaring himself the rejected cornerstone.
