Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
And whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Jerusalem, and cam to Bethfage, at the mount of Olyuete, thanne sente he his twei disciplis, and seide to hem,
2 saying to them, Go m the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose and bring them to me.
Go ye in to the castel that is ayens you, and anoon ye schulen fynde an asse tied, and a colt with hir; vntien ye, and brynge to me.
3 And if any one say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and he will immediately send them.
And if ony man seie to you ony thing, seie ye, that the Lord hath nede to hem; and anoon he schal leeue hem.
4 Now this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Al this was doon, that that thing schulde be fulfillid, that was seid bi the prophete, seiynge, Seie ye to the douyter of Syon, Lo!
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of a beast of burden.”
thi kyng cometh to thee, meke, sittynge on an asse, and a fole of an asse vnder yok.
6 And the disciples o went, and did as Jesus bade them,
And the disciplis yeden, and diden as Jhesus comaundide hem.
7 and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat on them.
And thei brouyten an asse, and the fole, and leiden her clothis on hem, and maden hym sitte aboue.
8 And very many of the multitude spread their garments in the road; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the road.
And ful myche puple strewiden her clothis in the weie; othere kittiden braunchis of trees, and strewiden in the weie.
9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
And the puple that wente bifore, and that sueden, crieden, and seiden, Osanna to the sone of Dauid; blessid is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Osanna in hiy thingis.
10 And when he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this?
And whanne he was entrid in to Jerusalem, al the citee was stirid, and seide, Who is this?
11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
But the puple seide, This is Jhesus, the prophete, of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;
And Jhesus entride in to the temple of God, and castide out of the temple alle that bouyten and solden; and he turnede vpsedoun the bordis of chaungeris, and the chayeris of men that solden culueris.
13 and said to them, It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye make it a den of robbers.”
And he seith to hem, It is writun, Myn hous schal be clepid an hous of preier; but ye han maad it a denne of theues.
14 And the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them.
And blynde and crokid camen to hym in the temple, and he heelide hem.
15 But the chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the wonderful things which he did, and the children that were crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased;
But the princis of prestis and scribis, seynge the merueilouse thingis that he dide, and children criynge in the temple, and seiynge, Osanna to the sone of Dauid, hadden indignacioun,
16 and said to him, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, “From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare praise”?
and seiden to hym, Herist thou what these seien? And Jhesus seide to hem, Yhe; whether ye han neuer redde, That of the mouth of yonge children, and of soukynge childryn, thou hast maad perfit heriyng?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
And whanne he hadde left hem, he wente forth out of the citee, in to Bethanye; and there he dwelte, and tauyte hem of the kyngdom of God.
18 And in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.
But on the morowe, he, turnynge ayen in to the citee, hungride.
19 And seeing one fig-tree by the road-side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only; and he saith to it, Let there be no fruit from thee hencefoward for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
And he saye a fige tree bisidis the weie, and cam to it, and foond no thing ther ynne but leeues oneli. And he seide to it, Neuer fruyt come forth of thee, in to with outen eende, And anoon the fige tre was dried vp. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it, marveled, saying, How suddenly did the fig-tree wither!
And disciplis `sawen, and wondriden, seiynge, Hou anoon it driede.
21 Jesus answering said to them, Truly do I say to you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what hath been done to the fig-tree, but should ye even say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done.
And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, if ye haue feith, and douten not, not oonli ye schulen do of the fige tree, but also if ye seyn to this hil, Take, and caste thee in to the see, it schal be don so.
22 And all things whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye will receive.
And alle thingis what euere ye bileuynge schulen axe in preyer, ye schulen take.
23 And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
And whanne he cam in to the temple, the princis of prestis and elder men of the puple camen to hym that tauyte, and seiden, In what power doist thou these thingis? and who yaf thee this power?
24 And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one question; which if ye answer me, I too will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, And Y schal axe you o word, the which if ye tellen me, Y schal seie to you, in what power Y do these thingis.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
Of whennys was the baptym of Joon; of heuene, or of men? And thei thouyten with ynne hem silf,
26 But if we say, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet.
seiynge, If we seien of heuene, he schal seie to vs, Whi thanne bileuen ye not to hym? If we seien of men, we dreden the puple, for alle hadden Joon as a prophete.
27 And they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
And thei answeriden to Jhesu, and seiden, We witen not. And he seide to hem, Nether Y seie to you, in what power Y do these thingis.
28 But what think ye? A man had two sons: he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work today in the vineyard.
But what semeth to you? A man hadde twey sones; and he cam to the firste, and seide, Sone, go worche this dai in my vyneyerd.
29 And he answered and said, I will not. Afterward he repented, and went.
And he answeride, and seide, Y nyle; but afterward he forthouyte, and wente forth.
30 And he came to the other and said the same. And he answered and said, I will, sir; and went not.
But he cam to `the tother, and seide on lijk maner. And he answeride, and seide, Lord, Y go; and he wente not.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith to them, Truly do I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Who of the tweyne dide the fadris wille? Thei seien to hym, The firste. Jhesus seith to hem, Treuli Y seie to you, for pupplicans and hooris schulen go bifor you `in to the kyngdom of God.
32 For John came to you as a preacher of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, did not afterward repent, that ye might believe him.
For Joon cam to you in the weie of riytwisnesse, and ye bileueden not to him; but pupplicans and hooris bileueden to hym. But ye sayn, and hadden no forthenkyng aftir, that ye bileueden to hym.
33 Hear another parable. There was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
Here ye another parable. There was an hosebonde man, that plauntide a vynyerd, and heggide it aboute, and dalfe a presour ther ynne, and bildide a tour, and hiride it to erthe tilieris, and wente fer in pilgrimage.
34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive his fruits.
But whanne the tyme of fruytis neiyede, he sente his seruauntis to the erthe tilieris, to take fruytis of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
And the erthetilieris token his seruauntis, and beeten `the toon, thei slowen another, and thei stonyden another.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they dealt with them in the same manner.
Eftsoone he sente othere seruauntis, mo than the firste, and in lijk maner thei diden to hem.
37 And afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.
And at the laste he sente his sone to hem, and seide, Thei schulen drede my sone.
38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.
But the erthe tilieris, seynge the sone, seiden with ynne hem silf, This is the eire; come ye, sle we hym, and we schulen haue his eritage.
39 And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
And thei token, and castiden hym out of the vynyerd, and slowen hym.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Therfor whanne the lord of the vyneyerd schal come, what schal he do to thilke erthe tilieris?
41 They say to him, He will bring those wicked men to a miserable end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their season.
Thei seien to hym, He schal leese yuele the yuele men, and he schal sette to hire his vyneyerd to othere erthetilieris, whyche schulen yelde to hym fruyt in her tymes.
42 Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone; from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
Jhesus seith to hem, Redden ye neuer in scripturis, The stoon which bilderis repreueden, this is maad in to the heed of the corner? Of the Lord this thing is don, and it is merueilous bifor oure iyen.
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
Therfor Y seie to you, that the kyngdom of God schal be takun fro you, and shal be youun to a folc doynge fruytis of it.
And he that schal falle on this stoon, schal be brokun; but on whom it schal falle, it schal al tobrise hym.
45 And the chief priests and the Pharisees when they heard his parables, knew that he was speaking of them.
And whanne the princes of prestis and Farisees hadden herd hise parablis, thei knewen that he seide of hem.
46 And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitudes, because they regarded him as a prophet.
And thei souyten to holde hym, but thei dredden the puple, for thei hadden hym as a prophete.
