21Jesus replied to them, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt or allow yourself to be drawn in two directions, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen .

AMP
25The baptism of John—from where did it come? From heaven or from men?" And they began debating among themselves , saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe John?'

AMP
29And he answered, 'I will not'; but afterward he regretted it and changed his mind and went.
MSG

AMP
30Then the man came to the second son and said the same thing; and he replied, 'I will, sir'; but he did not go.
MSG
31"Which of the two sons did what the father asked?" They said, "The first." Jesus said, "Yes, and I tell you that crooks and whores are going to precede you into God's kingdom.
AMP
31Which of the two did the will of the father?" The chief priests and elders replied, "The first one." Jesus said to them, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.
MSG
32John came to you showing you the right road. You turned up your noses at him, but the crooks and whores believed him. Even when you saw their changed lives, you didn't care enough to change and believe him.
AMP
32For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even change your mind afterward and believe him .
MSG
33"Here's another story. Listen closely. There was once a man, a wealthy farmer, who planted a vineyard. He fenced it, dug a winepress, put up a watchtower, then turned it over to the farmhands and went off on a trip.
AMP
33"Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to tenant farmers and went on a journey .
MSG
34When it was time to harvest the grapes, he sent his servants back to collect his profits.
AMP
34When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit.
MSG
35"The farmhands grabbed the first servant and beat him up. The next one they murdered. They threw stones at the third but he got away.
AMP
35But the tenants took his servants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.
MSG
36The owner tried again, sending more servants. They got the same treatment.
AMP
36Again he sent other servants, more than the first time; and they treated them the same way.
MSG
37The owner was at the end of his rope. He decided to send his son. 'Surely,' he thought, 'they will respect my son.'
AMP
37Finally he sent his own son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son and have regard for him.'
MSG
38"But when the farmhands saw the son arrive, they rubbed their hands in greed. 'This is the heir! Let's kill him and have it all for ourselves.'
AMP
38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir; come on, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'
MSG
39They grabbed him, threw him out, and killed him.
AMP
39So they took the son and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
MSG
40"Now, when the owner of the vineyard arrives home from his trip, what do you think he will do to the farmhands?"
AMP
40Now when the owner of the vineyard comes back, what will he do to those tenants?"
MSG
41"He'll kill them—a rotten bunch, and good riddance," they answered. "Then he'll assign the vineyard to farmhands who will hand over the profits when it's time."
AMP
41They said to Him, "He will put those despicable men to a miserable end, and rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons."
MSG
42Jesus said, "Right—and you can read it for yourselves in your Bibles: The stone the masons threw out is now the cornerstone. This is God's work; we rub our eyes, we can hardly believe it!
AMP
42Jesus asked them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The Stone which the builders rejected and threw away, Has become the chief Cornerstone; This is the Lord's doing, And it is marvelous and wonderful in our eyes'?
MSG
43"This is the way it is with you. God's kingdom will be taken back from you and handed over to a people who will live out a kingdom life.
AMP
43Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people who will produce the fruit of it.
MSG
44Whoever stumbles on this Stone gets shattered; whoever the Stone falls on gets smashed."
AMP
44And he who falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces; but he on whom it falls will be crushed."
MSG
45When the religious leaders heard this story, they knew it was aimed at them.
AMP
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was talking about them.
MSG
46They wanted to arrest Jesus and put him in jail, but, intimidated by public opinion, they held back. Most people held him to be a prophet of God.
AMP
46And although they were trying to arrest Him, they feared the people, because they regarded Jesus as a prophet.
