Матей 21

Библия, синодално издание

21 ^(A)И когато наближиха до Иерусалим и дойдоха до Витфагия при Елеонската планина, Иисус изпрати двама ученици,

²като им каза: идете в селото, що е насреща ви, и веднага ще намерите вързана ослица и осле с нея; отвържете и докарайте Ми ги;

³и, ако някой ви рече нещо, ще кажете, че те са потребни Господу; и веднага ще ги прати.

⁴А всичко това стана, за да се сбъдне реченото чрез пророка, който казва:

⁵^(B)„кажете на дъщерята Сионова: ето, твоят Цар иде при тебе кротък, възседнал ослица и осле, син на подяремница“.

⁶Учениците отидоха и сториха тъй, както им бе заповядал Иисус:

⁷^(C)докараха ослицата и ослето и метнаха отгоре им дрехите си, и Той седна на тях.

⁸^(D)А повечето от народа постилаше дрехите си по пътя; други пък сечаха клони от дърветата и постилаха по пътя;

⁹^(E)а народът, който вървеше отпред и който Го съпровождаше, възклицаваше и казваше: осана Сину Давидову! Благословен Идещият в име Господне! осана във висините!

¹⁰И когато влезе в Иерусалим, цял град се потресе, и думаха: кой е Този?

¹¹А народът отговаряше: Този е Иисус, пророкът от Назарет Галилейски.

¹²^(F)И влезе Иисус в Божия храм, изпъди всички продавачи и купувачи в храма, прекатури масите на менячите и пейките на гълъбопродавците,

¹³^(G)и казваше им: писано е: „домът Ми дом за молитва ще се нарече“, а вие го направихте разбойнишки вертеп.

¹⁴И дойдоха при Него в храма слепи и хроми, и Той ги изцери.

¹⁵А първосвещениците и книжниците, като видяха чудесата, що Той стори, и децата, които викаха в храма и думаха: осана Сину Давидову! възнегодуваха

¹⁶^(H)и Му рекоха: чуваш ли, какво казват те? А Иисус им отговори: да! нима никога не сте чели: „из устата на младенци и кърмачета Ти си стъкмил похвала“?

¹⁷И като ги остави, излезе вън от града за Витания, дето и пренощува.

¹⁸А на утринта, връщайки се в града, огладня;

¹⁹^(I)и видя край пътя една смоковница, отиде при нея и, като не намери нищо на нея, освен едни листа, каза ѝ: занапред да няма вече плод от тебе вовеки. И смоковницата веднага изсъхна.

²⁰Като видяха това, учениците се почудиха и казаха: как тъй веднага изсъхна смоковницата?

²¹^(J)А Иисус им отговори и рече: истина ви казвам: ако имате вяра и не се усъмните, не само това, що беше извършено със смоковницата, ще извършите, но, ако и на тая планина кажете: дигни се и се хвърли в морето, – ще бъде;

²²^(K)и всичко, що поискате в молитва с вяра, ще получите.

²³^(L)И когато дойде Той в храма и поучаваше, пристъпиха до Него първосвещениците и стареите народни и рекоха: с каква власт вършиш това? и кой Ти е дал тая власт?

²⁴Иисус им отговори и рече: ще ви попитам и Аз една дума; ако Ми отговорите на нея, и Аз ще ви кажа, с каква власт върша това:

²⁵кръщението Иоаново откъде беше: от небето ли, или от човеците? А те разсъждаваха помежду си и думаха: ако речем – от небето, ще ни каже: а защо му не повярвахте?

²⁶^(M)Ако ли речем – от човеците, боим се от народа, понеже всички имат Иоана за пророк.

²⁷И отговориха Иисусу и рекоха: не знаем. И Той им рече: и Аз ви не казвам, с каква власт върша това.

²⁸А как ви се струва? Един човек имаше двама сина; и отиде той при първия, та каза: чедо, иди днес работи на лозето ми.

²⁹Но тоя отговори и рече: не искам; а после се разкая и отиде.

³⁰И като дойде при другия, каза му същото. Тоя отговори и рече: ще ида, господарю, ала не отиде.

³¹^(N)Кой от двамата изпълни бащината воля? Отговарят Му: първият. Иисус им рече: истина ви казвам, че митарите и блудниците преварват ви в царството Божие;

³²^(O)защото дойде при вас Иоан по пътя на праведността, и вие му не повярвахте, а митарите и блудниците му повярваха; вие пък, като видяхте това, не се разкаяхте отпосле, за да му повярвате.

³³^(P)Чуйте друга притча: имаше един човек стопанин, който насади лозе, огради го с плет, изкопа в него лин, съгради кула и, като го предаде на лозари, отиде си.

³⁴И когато наближи гроздобер, той изпрати слугите си при лозарите, да му приберат плодовете.

³⁵^(Q)А лозарите, като уловиха слугите му, едного набиха, другиго убиха, а трети с камъни пребиха.

³⁶Пак изпрати други слуги, по-много от първите; и с тях сториха същото.

³⁷Най-сетне изпрати при тях сина си, като каза: ще се засрамят от сина ми.

³⁸^(R)Но лозарите, като видяха сина, казаха помежду си: този е наследникът; хайде да го убием и да присвоим наследството му.

³⁹^(S)И, като го уловиха, изведоха вън от лозето и убиха.

⁴⁰И тъй, като си дойде господарят на лозето, какво ще направи на тия лозари?

⁴¹Отговарят Му: злодейците ще погуби зле, а лозето ще даде на други лозари, които ще му дават овреме плодовете.

⁴²^(T)Иисус им казва: нима не сте никога чели в Писанията: „камъкът, който отхвърлиха зидарите, той стана глава на ъгъла: това е от Господа, и е дивно в очите ни“?

⁴³Затова казвам ви, че царството Божие ще се вземе от вас и ще се даде на народ, който принася плодовете му;

⁴⁴^(U)и който падне върху тоя камък, ще се разбие; а върху когото падне, ще го смаже.

⁴⁵И като слушаха притчите Му, първосвещениците и фарисеите разбраха, че за тях говори,

⁴⁶и дебнеха да Го уловят, ала се побояха от народа, понеже Го имаше за пророк.

Matthew 21

English Standard Version

The Triumphal Entry

21 ^(A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to ^(B)the Mount of Olives, then Jesus ^(C)sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” ⁴This took place ^(D)to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

⁵^(E)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
^(F)humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt,^[a] the foal of a beast of burden.’”

⁶The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. ⁷They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. ⁸Most of the crowd ^(G)spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ^(H)“Hosanna to ^(I)the Son of David! ^(J)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna ^(K)in the highest!” ¹⁰And ^(L)when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” ¹¹And the crowds said, “This is ^(M)the prophet Jesus, ^(N)from Nazareth of Galilee.”

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

¹²^(O)And Jesus entered the temple^[b] and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of ^(P)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold ^(Q)pigeons. ¹³He said to them, “It is written, ^(R)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but ^(S)you make it a den of robbers.”

¹⁴^(T)And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵^(U)But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, ^(V)“Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, ¹⁶and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; ^(W)have you never read,

^(X)“‘Out of the mouth of ^(Y)infants and nursing babies
you have prepared praise’?”

¹⁷And ^(Z)leaving them, he ^(AA)went out of the city to ^(AB)Bethany and lodged there.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

¹⁸^(AC)In the morning, as he was returning to the city, ^(AD)he became hungry. ¹⁹^(AE)And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.

²⁰When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” ²¹And Jesus answered them, ^(AF)“Truly, I say to you, ^(AG)if you have faith and ^(AH)do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ^(AI)‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. ²²And ^(AJ)whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, ^(AK)if you have faith.”

The Authority of Jesus Challenged

²³^(AL)And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him ^(AM)as he was teaching, and said, ^(AN)“By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” ²⁴Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵The baptism of John, ^(AO)from where did it come? ^(AP)From heaven or from man?” And they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ^(AQ)‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ²⁶But if we say, ‘From man,’ ^(AR)we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was ^(AS)a prophet.” ²⁷So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

The Parable of the Two Sons

²⁸^(AT)“What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in ^(AU)the vineyard today.’ ²⁹And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he ^(AV)changed his mind and went. ³⁰And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but did not go. ³¹Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, ^(AW)the tax collectors and ^(AX)the prostitutes go into ^(AY)the kingdom of God before you. ³²For John came to you ^(AZ)in the way of righteousness, and ^(BA)you did not believe him, but ^(BB)the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward ^(BC)change your minds and believe him.

The Parable of the Tenants

³³^(BD)“Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted ^(BE)a vineyard ^(BF)and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and ^(BG)leased it to tenants, and ^(BH)went into another country. ³⁴When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants^[c] to the tenants ^(BI)to get his fruit. ³⁵^(BJ)And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and ^(BK)stoned another. ³⁶^(BL)Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. ³⁷Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ ³⁸But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ^(BM)‘This is the heir. Come, ^(BN)let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ ³⁹And they took him and ^(BO)threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. ⁴⁰^(BP)When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” ⁴¹They said to him, ^(BQ)“He will put those wretches to a miserable death and ^(BR)let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”

⁴²Jesus said to them, ^(BS)“Have you never read in the Scriptures:

^(BT)“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;^[d]
this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

⁴³Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God ^(BU)will be taken away from you and given to a people ^(BV)producing its fruits. ⁴⁴And ^(BW)the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and ^(BX)when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”^[e]

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. ⁴⁶And ^(BY)although they were seeking to arrest him, ^(BZ)they feared the crowds, because they held him to be ^(CA)a prophet.

Reina-Valera 1960

La entrada triunfal en Jerusalén

(Mr. 11.1-11; Lc. 19.28-40; Jn. 12.12-19)

21 Cuando se acercaron a Jerusalén, y vinieron a Betfagé, al monte de los Olivos, Jesús envió dos discípulos, ²diciéndoles: Id a la aldea que está enfrente de vosotros, y luego hallaréis una asna atada, y un pollino con ella; desatadla, y traédmelos. ³Y si alguien os dijere algo, decid: El Señor los necesita; y luego los enviará. ⁴Todo esto aconteció para que se cumpliese lo dicho por el profeta, cuando dijo:

5 Decid a la hija de Sion:
He aquí, tu Rey viene a ti,
Manso, y sentado sobre una asna,
Sobre un pollino, hijo de animal de carga.(A)

⁶Y los discípulos fueron, e hicieron como Jesús les mandó; ⁷y trajeron el asna y el pollino, y pusieron sobre ellos sus mantos; y él se sentó encima. ⁸Y la multitud, que era muy numerosa, tendía sus mantos en el camino; y otros cortaban ramas de los árboles, y las tendían en el camino. ⁹Y la gente que iba delante y la que iba detrás aclamaba, diciendo: ¡Hosanna^(B) al Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor!^(C) ¡Hosanna en las alturas! ¹⁰Cuando entró él en Jerusalén, toda la ciudad se conmovió, diciendo: ¿Quién es este? ¹¹Y la gente decía: Este es Jesús el profeta, de Nazaret de Galilea.

Purificación del templo

(Mr. 11.15-19; Lc. 19.45-48; Jn. 2.13-22)

¹²Y entró Jesús en el templo de Dios, y echó fuera a todos los que vendían y compraban en el templo, y volcó las mesas de los cambistas, y las sillas de los que vendían palomas; ¹³y les dijo: Escrito está: Mi casa, casa de oración será llamada;^(D) mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.^(E)

¹⁴Y vinieron a él en el templo ciegos y cojos, y los sanó. ¹⁵Pero los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, viendo las maravillas que hacía, y a los muchachos aclamando en el templo y diciendo: ¡Hosanna al Hijo de David! se indignaron, ¹⁶y le dijeron: ¿Oyes lo que estos dicen? Y Jesús les dijo: Sí; ¿nunca leísteis:

De la boca de los niños y de los que maman

Perfeccionaste la alabanza?^(F)

¹⁷Y dejándolos, salió fuera de la ciudad, a Betania, y posó allí.

Maldición de la higuera estéril

(Mr. 11.12-14,20-26)

¹⁸Por la mañana, volviendo a la ciudad, tuvo hambre. ¹⁹Y viendo una higuera cerca del camino, vino a ella, y no halló nada en ella, sino hojas solamente; y le dijo: Nunca jamás nazca de ti fruto. Y luego se secó la higuera. ²⁰Viendo esto los discípulos, decían maravillados: ¿Cómo es que se secó en seguida la higuera? ²¹Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: De cierto os digo, que si tuviereis fe, y no dudareis, no solo haréis esto de la higuera, sino que si a este monte dijereis: Quítate y échate en el mar, será hecho.^(G) ²²Y todo lo que pidiereis en oración, creyendo, lo recibiréis.

La autoridad de Jesús

(Mr. 11.27-33; Lc. 20.1-8)

²³Cuando vino al templo, los principales sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo se acercaron a él mientras enseñaba, y le dijeron: ¿Con qué autoridad haces estas cosas? ¿y quién te dio esta autoridad? ²⁴Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Yo también os haré una pregunta, y si me la contestáis, también yo os diré con qué autoridad hago estas cosas. ²⁵El bautismo de Juan, ¿de dónde era? ¿Del cielo, o de los hombres? Ellos entonces discutían entre sí, diciendo: Si decimos, del cielo, nos dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis? ²⁶Y si decimos, de los hombres, tememos al pueblo; porque todos tienen a Juan por profeta. ²⁷Y respondiendo a Jesús, dijeron: No sabemos. Y él también les dijo: Tampoco yo os digo con qué autoridad hago estas cosas.

Parábola de los dos hijos

²⁸Pero ¿qué os parece? Un hombre tenía dos hijos, y acercándose al primero, le dijo: Hijo, ve hoy a trabajar en mi viña. ²⁹Respondiendo él, dijo: No quiero; pero después, arrepentido, fue. ³⁰Y acercándose al otro, le dijo de la misma manera; y respondiendo él, dijo: Sí, señor, voy. Y no fue. ³¹¿Cuál de los dos hizo la voluntad de su padre? Dijeron ellos: El primero. Jesús les dijo: De cierto os digo, que los publicanos y las rameras van delante de vosotros al reino de Dios. ³²Porque vino a vosotros Juan en camino de justicia, y no le creísteis; pero los publicanos y las rameras le creyeron;^(H) y vosotros, viendo esto, no os arrepentisteis después para creerle.

Los labradores malvados

(Mr. 12.1-12; Lc. 20.9-19)

³³Oíd otra parábola: Hubo un hombre, padre de familia, el cual plantó una viña,^(I) la cercó de vallado, cavó en ella un lagar, edificó una torre, y la arrendó a unos labradores, y se fue lejos. ³⁴Y cuando se acercó el tiempo de los frutos, envió sus siervos a los labradores, para que recibiesen sus frutos. ³⁵Mas los labradores, tomando a los siervos, a uno golpearon, a otro mataron, y a otro apedrearon. ³⁶Envió de nuevo otros siervos, más que los primeros; e hicieron con ellos de la misma manera. ³⁷Finalmente les envió su hijo, diciendo: Tendrán respeto a mi hijo. ³⁸Mas los labradores, cuando vieron al hijo, dijeron entre sí: Este es el heredero; venid, matémosle, y apoderémonos de su heredad. ³⁹Y tomándole, le echaron fuera de la viña, y le mataron. ⁴⁰Cuando venga, pues, el señor de la viña, ¿qué hará a aquellos labradores? ⁴¹Le dijeron: A los malos destruirá sin misericordia, y arrendará su viña a otros labradores, que le paguen el fruto a su tiempo.

⁴²Jesús les dijo: ¿Nunca leísteis en las Escrituras:

La piedra que desecharon los edificadores,
Ha venido a ser cabeza del ángulo.
El Señor ha hecho esto,
Y es cosa maravillosa a nuestros ojos?(J)

⁴³Por tanto os digo, que el reino de Dios será quitado de vosotros, y será dado a gente que produzca los frutos de él. ⁴⁴Y el que cayere sobre esta piedra será quebrantado; y sobre quien ella cayere, le desmenuzará.

⁴⁵Y oyendo sus parábolas los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos, entendieron que hablaba de ellos. ⁴⁶Pero al buscar cómo echarle mano, temían al pueblo, porque este le tenía por profeta.

Matthew 21

New International Version

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King^(A)^(B)

21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,^(C) Jesus sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

⁴This took place to fulfill^(D) what was spoken through the prophet:

⁵“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”^[a]^(E)

⁶The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. ⁷They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. ⁸A very large crowd spread their cloaks^(F) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

“Hosanna^[b] to the Son of David!”^(G)

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”^[c]^(H)

“Hosanna^[d] in the highest heaven!”^(I)

¹⁰When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

¹¹The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet^(J) from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Jesus at the Temple^(K)

¹²Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying^(L) and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers^(M) and the benches of those selling doves.^(N) ¹³“It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’^[e]^(O) but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’^[f]”^(P)

¹⁴The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.^(Q) ¹⁵But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,”^(R) they were indignant.^(S)

¹⁶“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.

“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,

“‘From the lips of children and infants
you, Lord, have called forth your praise’^[g]?”^(T)

¹⁷And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,^(U) where he spent the night.

Jesus Curses a Fig Tree^(V)

¹⁸Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. ¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.^(W)

²⁰When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.

²¹Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt,^(X) not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. ²²If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for^(Y) in prayer.”

The Authority of Jesus Questioned^(Z)

²³Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority^(AA) are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”

²⁴Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. ²⁵John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”

They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ ²⁶But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”^(AB)

²⁷So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

The Parable of the Two Sons

²⁸“What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’^(AC)

²⁹“‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.

³⁰“Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.

³¹“Which of the two did what his father wanted?”

“The first,” they answered.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors^(AD) and the prostitutes^(AE) are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. ³²For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,^(AF) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors^(AG) and the prostitutes^(AH) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent^(AI) and believe him.

The Parable of the Tenants^(AJ)

³³“Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted^(AK) a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.^(AL) Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.^(AM) ³⁴When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants^(AN) to the tenants to collect his fruit.

³⁵“The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.^(AO) ³⁶Then he sent other servants^(AP) to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. ³⁷Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

³⁸“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir.^(AQ) Come, let’s kill him^(AR) and take his inheritance.’^(AS) ³⁹So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

⁴⁰“Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”

⁴¹“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,”^(AT) they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants,^(AU) who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”

⁴²Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’^[h]?^(AV)

⁴³“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you^(AW) and given to a people who will produce its fruit. ⁴⁴Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”^[i]^(AX)

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. ⁴⁶They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.^(AY)
