Matthew 21
1 Jesus and his disciples went to Jerusalem. As they were getting close, they came to the village of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,
And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage (on *N(k)O*) the Mount of Olives, then (*ko*) Jesus sent two disciples
2 telling them, “Go into the village. Right there you'll find a donkey tied up with a colt. Untie them and bring them to me.
saying to them; (do go *N(k)O*) into the village which [is] (in front *N(k)O*) of you. and immediately you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her; having untied [them] (do bring [them] *NK(o)*) to Me.
3 If anyone asks you what you're doing, just tell them, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and they will send them right away.”
And if anyone to you may say anything, you will say that the Lord of them need has, Immediately then (he will send *NK(o)*) them.
4 This was to fulfill what the prophet said:
This then (all *k*) has come to pass that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying;
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, and rides a donkey, and a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
do say to the daughter of Zion; Behold the King of you comes to you, gentle and already riding on a donkey even (upon *no*) a colt [the] foal of a beast of burden.
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed.
Having gone then the disciples and having done even as (directed *N(k)O*) to them Jesus,
7 They brought back the donkey and the colt. They placed their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
they brought the donkey and the colt and put (upon *N(k)O*) them the cloaks (of them *k*) and He sat on them.
8 Many people in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and laid them on the road.
The now very great crowd spread their own cloaks on the road, others now were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading [them] on the road.
9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed were all shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
The now crowds which are going before (Him *no*) and those following they were crying out saying: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
10 When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. “Who is this?” they were asking.
And when was entering He into Jerusalem was stirred all the city saying; Who is this?
11 “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds replied.
And the crowds were saying; This is the prophet Jesus, the [One] from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Jesus went into the Temple, and threw out all the people buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the dove-sellers.
And entered (*k*) Jesus into the temple (of God *K*) and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money changers He overturned and the seats of those selling the doves.
13 He told them, “Scripture says, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
And He says to them; It has been written: The house of Mine a house of prayer will be called,’ You yourselves however it (make *N(k)O*) a den of robbers.’
14 The blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and he healed them.
And came to Him blind and lame in the temple, and He healed them.
15 But when the chief priests and religious teachers saw the wonderful miracles he did, and the children shouting in the Temple, “Hosanna to the son of David,” they were offended. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
Having seen now the chief priests and the scribes the wonders that He did and the children (who *no*) are crying out in the temple and saying; Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant
16 “Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven't you ever read the Scripture that says, ‘You arranged for children and infants to give you perfect praise’?”
and said to Him; Hear you what these say? And Jesus says to them; Yes. surely sometime you did read that Out of [the] mouth of babes and sucklings You have prepared for yourself praise’?
17 Jesus left them and went out of the city to stay at Bethany.
And having left them He went out of the city to Bethany and He passed the night there.
18 The next morning as he walked back into the city, he was hungry.
(Early *N(k)O*) then (he is coming back *NK(o)*) into the city He became hungry,
19 He saw a fig tree at the side of the road, so he went over to it but didn't find any fruit, only leaves. He told the fig tree, “May you never ever produce fruit again!” Immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
And having seen fig tree one along the road He came to it and no [thing] found on it only except leaves alone And He says to it; (certainly *o*) no more from you fruit there may be to the age. And withered immediately the fig tree. (aiōn g165)
20 The disciples were amazed to see this. “How did the fig tree wither so suddenly?” they asked.
And having seen [it] the disciples marveled saying; How so quickly withered the fig tree?
21 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “If you really trust in God, and don't doubt him, you could not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even more. If you said to this mountain, ‘Get up and throw yourself into the sea,’ it would happen!
Answering now Jesus said to them; Amen I say to you; if you shall have faith and not shall doubt, not only the [miracle] of the fig tree will you do, but even if even if to the mountain this you shall say; do be taken away and do be cast into the sea, it will come to pass;
22 You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God.”
And all things as much as (maybe *NK(o)*) you shall ask in prayer believing, you will receive.
23 Jesus went into the Temple. The chief priests and the ruling elders of the people came to him while he was teaching and asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?”
And (when was coming He *N(k)O*) into the temple came to Him teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people saying; By what authority these things are You doing And who to You gave authority this?
24 “I too will ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “If you give me the answer, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Answering now Jesus said to them; Will ask you I myself also I myself also thing one, which if you shall tell Me I myself also I myself also to you will say by what authority these things I do.
25 Where did the baptism of John come from? Was it from heaven, or was it from human beings?” They argued with each other. “If we say ‘it was from heaven,’ then he'll ask us why we didn't believe him.
The baptism (*no*) of John from where was it? From heaven or from men? And they were reasoning (among *N(k)O*) themselves saying; If we shall say; From heaven, He will say to us; Because of why then not did you believe in him?
26 But if we say, ‘it was from human beings,’ then the crowd will turn against us, because they all consider John to be a prophet.”
If however we shall say; From men, we fear the multitude; all for as a prophet hold John.
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things,” Jesus replied.
And answering Jesus they said; Not do we know. Was saying to them also He himself; Neither I myself tell you by what authority these things I do.
28 “But what do you think about this illustration? Once there was a man who had two sons. He went to the first son, and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
What however you think? A man had sons two, and having come to the first he said; Son, do go today do work in the vineyard (of mine. *k*)
29 The son answered, ‘I won't,’ but afterwards he was sorry for what he said and he did go.
And answering he said; Not I want to; Afterward however having repented he went.
30 The man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I'll go,’ but he didn't.
(and *k*) Having come (then *no*) to the (other *N(K)O*) he said likewise. And answering he said; I myself [will] sir; and not did he go.
31 Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. “I tell you the truth: tax-collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you,” Jesus told them.
Which of the two did the will of the father? They say (to him: *k*) The (first. *NK(O)*) Says to them Jesus; Amen I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God.
32 “John came to show you the way to live right with God, and you didn't believe him, but the tax-collectors and prostitutes did believe him. Later, when you saw what happened, you still didn't repent and believe him.
Came for John to you in [the] way of righteousness, and not you did believe in him; however the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed in him. you yourselves then having seen (not even *N(k)O*) did repent afterward to believe him.
33 Here's another illustration. There once was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, made a winepress, and built a watchtower. He rented it to some tenant farmers, and then left to go to a different country.
Another parable do hear: A man (who *k*) there was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and a fence around it placed and he dug in it a winepress and he built a tower and he rented out it to farmers and he traveled abroad.
34 At harvest time, he sent his servants to the farmers to collect the fruit that belonged to him.
When then drew near the season of the fruits, he sent the servants of him to the farmers to receive the fruits of him.
35 But the farmers attacked his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
And having taken the farmers the servants of him, the one they beat, another and they killed, another and they stoned.
36 So he sent more servants, but the farmers did the same things to them.
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them likewise.
37 So then he sent his son. ‘They will respect my son,’ he told himself.
Afterward then he sent to them the son of him saying; They will respect the son of mine.
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said to each other, ‘Here's the heir! Come on! Let's kill him so we can take his inheritance!’
But the farmers having seen the son said among themselves; This is the heir; come, let us kill him and (let us have *N(k)O*) the inheritance of him.
39 They grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
And having taking him they cast [him] out of the vineyard and killed [him].
40 When the vineyard owner returns, what will he do to those farmers?”
When therefore may come the master of the vineyard, what will he do farmers to those?
41 The chief priests and elders said to Jesus, “He will put to death those wicked men in the most awful way, and rent out the vineyard to other farmers who will be sure to give him his fruit at harvest time.”
They say to him; [The] wretches grievously He will destroy them and the vineyard he will rent out to other farmers who will give to him the fruits in the seasons of them.
42 “So haven't you read this in the Scriptures?” Jesus asked them. “‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.’
Says to them Jesus; surely sometime you did read in the Scriptures: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become the chief corner. From [the] Lord was this, and it is marvelous in [the] eyes of us?’
43 That's why I'm telling you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a people who produce the right kind of fruit.
Because of this I say to you that it will be taken away from you the kingdom of God and it will be given to a people producing the fruits of it.
44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken, but it will completely crush anyone it falls upon.”
And the [one] having fallen on stone this will be broken; on whomever but maybe it may fall, it will grind to powder him.
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his illustrations, they realized he was speaking about them.
And having heard the chief priests and the Pharisees the parables of Him they knew that about them He speaks.
46 They wanted him arrested, but they were afraid of what the people would do because the people believed he was a prophet.
And seeking Him to lay hold of they feared the crowds, (because to *N(k)O*) a prophet Him they were holding.
