LENTEN BIBLE STUDY # 10


2ND Tuesday of Lent

Read Matthew 21:33-46.

What is the significance of verse 42, the quote from Psalm 118, in this parable?   Why do the chief priests and Pharisees feel condemned by this parable?

Which character do you identify with in this parable?  Why do you feel a connection to this character?

Notes on the text:

Verse 44 in omitted in most ancient texts.  It was probably borrowed from Luke 20:18 (it almost exactly quotes the verse from Luke) by a later scribe.

Verse 42 is a quote of Psalm 118:22-23.  What is insignificant to humans is made important by God.
