Матеј 21
Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Исус улази у Јерусалим
(Мк 11,1-11; Лк 19,28-38; Јн 12,12-19)
21 Када су се приближили Јерусалиму и дошли до Витфаге на Маслинској гори, Исус посла двојицу ученика, 2 рекавши им: »Идите у ово село пред вама и одмах ћете наћи привезану магарицу и уз њу магаре. Одвежите их и доведите мени. 3 А ако вам неко нешто каже, реците му: ‚Потребни су Господу‘, и онај ће их одмах послати.«
4 Ово се догодило да се испуни оно што је речено преко пророка:
5 »Реците Кћери сионској:
‚ево, твој цар ти долази,
кротак, јаше на магарцу,
на магарету, младунчету магаричином.‘(A)«
6 И ученици одоше и учинише како им је Исус наредио. 7 Доведоше магарицу и магаре, па преко њих пребацише огртаче, а Исус узјаха. 8 Силан народ је по путу простирао своје огртаче, а други су са дрвећа секли гране и простирали их по путу.
9 Народ који је ишао испред и иза њега викао је:
»Хосана Сину Давидовом!
‚Благословен онај који долази у име Господа!‘(B)
Хосана на висини!«
10 Када је ушао у Јерусалим, цео град се ускомеша, говорећи: »Ко је ово?«
11 А народ је одговарао: »Исус, пророк из Назарета у Галилеји.«
Исус у Храму
(Мк 11,15-19; Лк 19,45-48; Јн 2,13-22)
12 Исус уђе у Храм, истера све који су тамо куповали и продавали и испреврта столове мењачима новца, а продавцима голубова клупе.
13 »Записано је«, рече им, »‚Мој дом ће се звати дом молитве‘(C), а ви од њега правите ‚јазбину разбојничку‘(D)!«
14 У Храму су му прилазили слепи и хроми, и он их излечи.
15 Када су првосвештеници и учитељи закона видели чуда која је учинио и децу како у Храму вичу: »Хосана Сину Давидовом«, разгневише се, 16 па га упиташе: »Чујеш ли ти шта ови говоре?«
»Чујем«, одговори им Исус. »Зар никад нисте прочитали:
‚Учинио си да ти са усана деце и одојчади
стижу хвалоспеви‘?«(E)
17 Онда их остави и оде из града у Витанију, па тамо преноћи.
Исус проклиње смокву
(Мк 11,12-14, 20-24)
18 Када се рано ујутро враћао у град, огладне. 19 Угледа смокву поред пута, па јој приђе, али не нађе на њој ништа осим лишћа.
Зато јој рече: »Не било више никад плода од тебе!«
И смоква се сместа осуши.
20 Када су ученици то видели, зачудише се: »Како то да се смоква сместа осушила?«
21 »Истину вам кажем«, рече им Исус, »ако будете имали вере, и не посумњате, не само да ћете учинити ово са смоквом него ћете и овој гори рећи: ‚Подигни се и баци се у море!‘ – и тако ће бити. 22 И све што затражите у молитви, добићете ако будете веровали.«
Одакле Исусу власт?
(Мк 11,27-33; Лк 20,1-8)
23 Исус уђе у Храм, а док је учио народ, приђоше му првосвештеници и старешине народа и упиташе: »Којом влашћу ово чиниш и ко ти је дао ту власт?«
24 »И ја ћу вас нешто упитати«, рече им Исус, »па ако ми одговорите, рећи ћу вам којом влашћу ово чиним. 25 Одакле је било Јованово крштење? Са неба или од људи?«
А они почеше о томе да расправљају међу собом, говорећи: »Ако кажемо: ‚Са неба‘, он ће рећи: ‚Зашто му онда нисте веровали?‘ 26 А да кажемо: ‚Од људи‘, плашимо се народа, јер Јована сви сматрају пророком.«
27 Зато му одговорише: »Не знамо.«
Тада им он рече: »Онда ни ја вама нећу рећи којом влашћу ово чиним.«
Прича о два сина
28 »Шта мислите о овоме: Имао човек два сина. Приђе првом, па му рече: ‚Сине, иди данас да радиш у винограду,‘ 29 а овај му одговори: ‚Нећу,‘ али после се предомисли, па оде.
30 »Онда отац приђе другом сину, па му рече то исто, а овај одговори: ‚Хоћу, господару‘, али не оде.
31 »Који је од ове двојице извршио очеву вољу?«
А они рекоше: »Онај први.«
»Истину вам кажем«, рече Исус, »цариници и блуднице пре вас улазе у Божије царство. 32 Јер, Јован је дошао к вама да вам покаже пут праведности, и ви му нисте поверовали, а поверовали су му цариници и блуднице. Па и кад сте то видели, нисте се покајали и поверовали му.«
Прича о виноградарима
(Мк 12,1-12; Лк 20,9-19)
33 »Чујте другу причу: Био један домаћин који је засадио виноград, оградио га плотом, ископао у њему муљачу и сазидао стражарску кулу, па га изнајмио неким виноградарима и отпутовао. 34 Кад се приближило време бербе, посла он виноградарима своје слуге да узму његове плодове. 35 Али виноградари ухватише његове слуге, па једнога претукоше, другога убише, а трећега каменоваше.
36 »Онда им он посла друге слуге, више њих него први пут, али и с њима поступише на исти начин.
37 »На крају им посла свога сина, говорећи: ‚Мога сина ће поштовати.‘
38 »Али, кад су виноградари угледали сина, рекоше један другом: ‚Ово је наследник. Хајде да га убијемо и узмемо његово наследство.‘ 39 И ухватише га, избацише из винограда и убише.
40 »Шта ће, дакле, власник винограда урадити овим виноградарима када дође?«
41 »Погубиће злочинце без милости«, одговорише му, »а виноград ће изнајмити другим виноградарима, који ће му дати плодове у време бербе.«
42 Исус их упита: »Зар никад нисте читали у Писмима:
‚Камен који градитељи одбацише
постаде камен угаони.
Господ то учини
и то је дивно у нашим очима‘?(F)
43 »Зато вам кажем: биће вам одузето Божије царство и дато народу који доноси његове плодове. 44 И ко год падне на тај камен, смрскаће се, а на кога он падне, здробиће га.[a]«
45 Када су првосвештеници и фарисеји чули Исусове приче, увидеше да говори о њима, 46 па хтедоше да га ухвате. Али бојали су се народа, јер је народ Исуса сматрао пророком.

Matthew 21
King James Version
21 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
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, 2 saying 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. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This 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.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd (G)spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And 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!” 10 And (L)when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And 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. 13 He 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, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; (W)have you never read,
17 And (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.
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” 21 And 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. 22 And (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?” 24 Jesus 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. 25 The 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?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From man,’ (AR)we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was (AS)a prophet.” 27 So 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.’ 29 And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he (AV)changed his mind and went. 30 And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but did not go. 31 Which 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. 32 For 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. 34 When 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. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But 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.’ 39 And 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?” 41 They 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.”
42 Jesus 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’?
43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God (BU)will be taken away from you and given to a people (BV)producing its fruits. 44 And (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]
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. 46 And (BY)although they were seeking to arrest him, (BZ)they feared the crowds, because they held him to be (CA)a prophet.
