Chapters and verses of the BibleThe Gospel according to John – a text showing chapter and verse divisions (King James Version) The original Jewish and Christian Bibles did not have chapter and verse divisions—such divisions forming part of the paratext of the Bible. Since the early 13th century, most copies and editions of the Bible have presented all but the shortest of the scriptural books with divisions into chapters, generally a page or so in length.
Gospel of MatthewThe Gospel of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament, one of the four canonical Gospels, and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells of Jesus, recording his birth, his ministry from his baptism by John the Baptist, his crucifixion, his resurrection, and his mission to the world.
Triumphal entry into JerusalemThe triumphal entry into Jerusalem is a narrative in the four canonical Gospels describing the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem a few days before his crucifixion. This event is celebrated each year by Christians on Palm Sunday. According to the gospels, Jesus arrived in Jerusalem to celebrate Passover, entering the city riding a donkey. He was greeted by a crowd acclaiming him by waving palm branches and laying cloaks on the ground to honor him.
Parable of the Two SonsThe Parable of the Two Sons is a parable told by Jesus in the New Testament, found in Matthew's Gospel. It contrasts the tax collectors and prostitutes who accepted the message taught by John the Baptist with the ostensibly religious people who did not. SummaryA man with two sons asks both of them to go work that day in his vineyard. The first one said he wouldn't do it at first, but then he did it anyway.
Cleansing of the TempleIn all four canonical gospels of the Christian New Testament, the cleansing of the Temple narrative tells of Jesus expelling the merchants and the money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem.

Ministry of JesusVocation of the Apostles (1481) by Domenico GhirlandaioThe ministry of Jesus, in the canonical gospels, begins with his baptism near the River Jordan by John the Baptist, and ends in Jerusalem in Judea, following the Last Supper with his disciples. The Gospel of Luke states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry. A chronology of Jesus typically sets the date of the start of his ministry at around AD 27–29 and the end in the range AD 30–36.

It is commemorated in Christianity every year during Holy Week.
