This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 21:23-46. The authority of Jesus questioned and the reply - The parables of the two sons, and of the wicked husbandman. ( = Mark 11:27-12:12; Luk 20:1-19).
Now commences, as Alford remarks, that series of parables and discourses of our Lord with His enemies, in which He develops, more completely than ever before, His hostility to their hypocrisy and iniquity: and so they are stirred up to compass His death.
Mat 21:23-27. The authority of Jesus questioned, and the reply.
By what authority doest thou these things! - referring particularly to the expulsion of the buyers and sellers from the temple,
and who gave thee this authority?
