Matthew 21
21:1And when they approached unto Jerusalem, and came into Bethphage, to the mount of olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
21:2saying to them, Go into the town, the one before you! And immediately you shall find a donkey being tied, and a foal with her; having untied lead them to me!
21:3And if anyone should say to you anything, you say that, Their master has need; and immediately he sends them.
21:4And this entirely came to pass, that should be fulfilled the thing having been spoken through the prophet, saying,
21:5Say to the daughter of Zion! Behold, your king comes to you, gentle, and being mounted upon a donkey, and a foal, an offspring of a beast of burden.
21:6And the disciples having gone, and having done as Jesus assigned to them,
21:7they led the donkey and the foal, and they placed upon them their cloaks, and he sat upon them.
21:8And the greatest part of the multitude spread out their own cloaks in the way; and others beat branches from the trees, and spread them out in the way.
21:9And the multitudes, the ones leading before and the ones following, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David. Being blessed is the one coming in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest.
21:10And in his entering into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this?
21:11And the multitudes said, This is Jesus the prophet, the one from Nazareth of Galilee.
21:12And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and he cast out all the ones selling and buying in the temple; and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the chairs of the ones selling the doves.
21:13And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you made it a cave of robbers.
21:14And came forward to him the lame and blind in the temple; and he cured them.
21:15And the chief priests and the scribes beholding the wonders which he did, and the children crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were indignant.
21:16And they said to him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yes, at no time did you read that, From out of the mouth of infants and nursing ones I readied praise?
21:17And leaving them, he came forth outside the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
21:18And in the morning turning back into the city, he hungered.
21:19And beholding one fig-tree upon the way, he came unto it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he says to it, No longer from you should fruit be produced into the eon. And 4dried up 1immediately 2the 3fig-tree].
21:20And beholding, the disciples marveled, saying, How did the fig-tree immediately dry up?
21:21And answering Jesus said to them, Amen I say to you, If you should have belief, and should not examine, not only the thing of the fig-tree shall you do, but even if to this mountain you should say, Be lifted and be thrown into the sea! it shall come to pass.
21:22And all as much as you should have asked in the prayer, believing, you shall receive.
21:23And in his coming into the temple, came forward to him while teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, By what authority do you do these things, and who gave to you this authority?
21:24And answering Jesus said to them, I shall ask you also one word, which if you should tell to me, I also will tell to you by what authority I do these things.
21:25The immersion of John, from what place was it? From heaven or from men? And they argued by themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?
21:26And if we should say, From men; we fear the multitude. For all hold John as a prophet.
21:27And answering to Jesus they said, We do not know. He said to them also himself, Nor I tell to you by what authority I do these things.
21:28But what do you think? A certain man had two children. And having come forward to the first, he said, Child, go! today work in my vineyard!
21:29And responding he said, I do not want to. But afterwards, having changed his mind he went forth.
21:30And having come forward to the second, he said likewise. And he answering said, I will, O master. and he did not go forth.
21:31Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Amen I say to you, that, The tax collectors and the harlots go before you into the kingdom of God.
21:32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him. But you having seen did not repent afterwards to believe him.
21:33Another parable hear! A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and he put around a barrier for it, and he dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower, and handed it over to growers, and he traveled abroad.
21:34And when the season of the fruits approached, he sent his servants to the growers to receive of his fruits.
21:35And the growers having taken his servants, one they flayed, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
21:36Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they did to them likewise.
21:37And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.
21:38And the growers seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, we should kill him, and take control of his inheritance.
21:39And having taken, they cast him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
21:40Whenever then the master of the vineyard shall come, what shall he do to those growers?
21:41They say to him, The evil men, harshly he will destroy them, and the vineyard he will hand over to other growers, the ones who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.
21:42Jesus says to them, At no time did you read in the scriptures? The stone which the ones building rejected, this one became as head corner stone; by the Lord this happened, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
21:43On account of this I say to you, that, The kingdom of God shall be lifted away from you, and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
21:44And the one falling upon this stone shall be fractured in pieces; but upon whom ever it should fall it shall winnow him.
21:45And the chief priests and the Pharisees hearing his parables, knew that about them he speaks.
21:46And seeking to hold him, they feared the multitudes, since they held him as a prophet.
