Matthew 21:16 in Context — Matthew 21
14 Des aveugles et des boiteux s’approchèrent de lui dans le temple. Et il les guérit.
15 Mais les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes furent indignés, à la vue des choses merveilleuses qu’il avait faites, et des enfants qui criaient dans le temple: Hosanna au Fils de David!
16 Ils lui dirent: Entends-tu ce qu’ils disent? Oui, leur répondit Jésus. N’avez-vous jamais lu ces paroles:Tu as tiré des louanges de la bouche des enfants et de ceux qui sont à la mamelle?
17 Et, les ayant laissés, il sortit de la ville pour aller à Béthanie, où il passa la nuit.
18 Le matin, en retournant à la ville, il eut faim.
