Matthew 21
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲏⲇⲫⲁⲅⲏ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ
2 saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.
ⲃ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓϯⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲱ ⲉⲥⲙⲏⲣ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏϭ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ ⲃⲟⲗⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ
3 If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5 “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7 They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8 A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9 The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
ⲑ̅ⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉϥϩⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ϥⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲱⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ
10 When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
ⲓ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲥⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ
11 The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲣⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϯ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϣⲱⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϫⲓⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲟⲛ ⲁϥϣⲣϣⲱⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲕⲁⲑⲉⲇⲣⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϯ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉϭⲣⲟⲟⲙⲡⲉ
13 And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

14 The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15 But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲁⲩⲁⲕⲁⲛⲁⲅⲧⲉⲓ
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟϣϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲓⲉⲕⲓⲃⲉ ⲁⲕⲥⲟϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲩ
17 Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18 In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲕⲟⲧϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁϥϩⲕⲟ
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered. (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲱ ⲛⲕⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥϩⲉ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ϩⲉⲛϭⲱⲃⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲥϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲃⲱ ⲛⲕⲛⲧⲉ (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

23 When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”

25 What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

27 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28 But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

29 ‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30 Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

33 Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

34 When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

36 Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”

45 When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.
