Matthew 21
1 As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,
2 saying to them, “Go into the next village, and you will immediately find a donkey tied up there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
3 If anyone says anything to you about that, you will say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and that person will immediately send them with you.”
et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
4 Now this came about that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled. He said,
Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, 'See, your King is coming to you, Humble and riding on a donkey— on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”
[Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subjugalis.]
6 Then the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them.
Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Jesus.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat upon the cloaks.
Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in the road.
Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem cædebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:
9 Then the crowds that went before Jesus and those that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
turbæ autem, quæ præcedebant, et quæ sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.
10 When Jesus had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred and said, “Who is this?”
Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.
12 Then Jesus entered the temple. He cast out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
13 He said to them, “It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers.”
et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
14 Then the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the marvelous things that he did, and when they heard the children shouting in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became very angry.
Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ mirabilia quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,
16 They said to him, “Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes! But have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of little children and nursing infants you have prepared praise'?”
et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
17 Then Jesus left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
18 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.
19 Seeing a fig tree along the roadside, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “May there be no fruit from you ever again,” and immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled and said, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to this fig tree, but you will even say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and it will be done.
Respondens autem Jesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non hæsitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis: Tolle, et jacta te in mare, fiet.
22 Whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
23 When Jesus 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 do you do these things, and who gave you this authority?”
Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate hæc facis? et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.
25 The baptism of John—from where did it come? From heaven or from men?” They discussed among themselves, saying, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
26 But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the crowd, because they all view John as a prophet.”
Si dixerimus, e cælo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Joannem sicut prophetam.
27 Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
29 The son answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind and went.
Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.
30 Then the man went to the second son and said the same thing. He answered and said, 'I will go, sir,' but he did not go.
Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit:
31 Which of the two sons did his father's will?” They said, “The first one.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God before you do.
quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Jesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, but you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. But you, even when you saw this, you did not repent afterward and believe him.
Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei: publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.
33 Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner. He planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a watchtower, and rented it out to vine growers. Then he went into another country.
Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
34 When the time of the fruit harvest approached, he sent some servants to the vine growers to get his fruit.
Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.
35 But the vine growers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned still another.
Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
36 Again, the owner sent other servants, more than the first, but the vine growers treated them in the same way.
Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
37 After that, the owner sent his own son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
38 But when the vine growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take over the inheritance.'
Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus.
39 So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
40 Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine growers?”
Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?
41 They said to him, “He will destroy those miserable men in the most severe way, and will then rent out the vineyard to other vine growers, men who will give him his share of crops at the harvest time.”
Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: [Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli: a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?]
43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation that produces its fruits.
Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.
44 Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces. But anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they understood he was speaking about them.
Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
46 Seeking to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowd, because the people regarded him as a prophet.
Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
