His son told him that he would not do it, but later he changed his mind and went.

The man then told his younger son to go work in the vineyard. The boy said he would, but he didn't go.

Which one of the sons obeyed his father? "The older one," the chief priests and leaders answered. Then Jesus told them: You can be sure that tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you ever will!

Jesus told the chief priests and leaders to listen to this story: A land owner once planted a vineyard. He built a wall around it and dug a pit to crush the grapes in. He also built a lookout tower. Then he rented out his vineyard and left the country.

When it was harvest time, the owner sent some servants to get his share of the grapes.

Finally, the owner sent his own son to the renters, because he thought they would respect him.

The chief priests and leaders answered, "He will kill them in some horrible way. Then he will rent out his vineyard to people who will give him his share of grapes at harvest time."

The kingdom of heaven is like what happened when a king gave a wedding banquet for his son.

His answer surprised them so much that they walked away.

Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother.

Once there were seven brothers who lived here. The first one married, but died without having any children. So his wife was left to his brother.

Jesus replied, "How then could the Spirit lead David to call the Messiah his Lord? David said,

If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be a son of King David?"

Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:

After Jesus left the temple, his disciples came over and said, "Look at all these buildings!"

Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him in private and asked, "When will this happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"

At the sound of a loud trumpet, he will send his angels to bring his chosen ones together from all over the earth.

The kingdom is also like what happened when a man went away and put his three servants in charge of all he owned.

The servant who had two thousand coins did the same with his money and earned two thousand more.

But the servant with one thousand coins dug a hole and hid his master's money in the ground.
