光荣进圣城
21 耶稣和门徒离耶路撒冷越来越近了,他们来到橄榄山旁的伯法其。 2 耶稣派两个门徒进村,并对他们说:“你们到前面的村庄去,就会看见一头母驴拴在那里,旁边还有一头驴驹。你们把它们解开,牵到我这里。 3 要是有人问起,你们就说,‘主要用它们’,那人会立刻让你们牵来。” 4 这件事是要应验先知的话:
5 “要对锡安城[a]说,‘看啊,你的君王来了!祂谦卑地骑着驴,骑着一头驴驹。’”
6 两个门徒照着耶稣的吩咐去了, 7 把母驴和驴驹带了回来。他们把自己的衣服盖在驴背上,让耶稣骑上去。 8 许多人把衣服铺在路上,也有些人砍下树枝铺在路上。 9 众人前呼后拥,欢呼着说:
“和散那[b]归于大卫的后裔!
奉主名来的当受称颂!
和散那归于至高之处的上帝!”
10 耶稣进耶路撒冷时,全城轰动,说:“这是谁?”
11 众人说:“祂是先知耶稣,来自加利利的拿撒勒。”
洁净圣殿
12 耶稣进入圣殿,赶走里面做买卖的人,又推翻兑换钱币之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子。
13 耶稣斥责他们说:“圣经上说,‘我的殿必称为祷告的殿。’你们竟把它变成了贼窝。”
14 殿中的瞎子和瘸子都来到耶稣面前,祂便医好了他们。 15 祭司长和律法教师看见祂所行的奇事,又听见小孩子在圣殿里高声喊着:“和散那归于大卫的后裔!”便十分恼怒。 16 他们责问耶稣说:“你听见这些人说的了吗?”
耶稣说:“我听见了。圣经上说,‘你使孩童和婴儿口中发出颂赞’,你们没有读过吗?” 17 然后,祂便离开他们,出城前往伯大尼,在那里住宿。
咒诅无花果树
18 清早,耶稣在回城的途中饿了。 19 祂看见路旁有一棵无花果树,便走过去,却发现除了叶子外什么也没有。
祂对那棵树说:“你将再不会结果子!”那棵树立刻枯萎了。
20 门徒见了就惊奇地问:“这棵树怎么一下子枯萎了?”
21 耶稣回答说:“我实在告诉你们,如果你们有信心、不怀疑,不但能使无花果树枯萎,就算对这座山说,‘从这里挪开,投进大海里!’也照样可以实现。 22 所以,你们祷告时无论求什么,只要有信心,就必定得到。”
质问耶稣的权柄
23 耶稣进了圣殿,正在教导人的时候,祭司长和民间的长老来质问祂:“你凭什么权柄做这些事?谁授权给你了?”
24 耶稣说:“我也要问你们一个问题,你们回答了,我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。 25 约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的?从天上来的,还是从人来的?”
他们便彼此议论说:“如果我们说‘是从天上来的’,祂一定会问我们,‘那你们为什么不信他?’ 26 但如果我们说‘是从人来的’,又怕触怒百姓,因为他们相信约翰是个先知。” 27 于是,他们回答耶稣说:“我们不知道。”
耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。”
两个儿子的比喻
28 耶稣又说:“你们怎样看这件事?某人有两个儿子。他对大儿子说,‘孩子,你今天到葡萄园工作吧!’
29 “大儿子回答说,‘我不去!’但后来他改变了主意,就去了。
30 “那父亲又对小儿子说,‘你今天到葡萄园工作吧!’小儿子回答说,‘好的,父亲。’他答应了,却没有去。
31 “你们认为这两个儿子,到底哪一个服从父亲呢?”
他们回答道:“大儿子。”
耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,税吏和娼妓要比你们先进上帝的国。 32 因为约翰来指示你们当行的正路,你们不信他,但税吏和娼妓信了。你们亲眼看见了这些事,竟然还是执迷不悟,不肯信他。
恶毒的佃户
33 “你们再听一个比喻。有个园主栽种了一个葡萄园,在园子的四周建造围墙,又在园中挖了一个榨酒池,建了一座瞭望台,然后把葡萄园租给佃户,就出远门了。 34 到了收获的季节,园主派奴仆到佃户那里收果子。 35 但那些佃户却抓住他的奴仆,打伤一个,杀死一个,又用石头打死了一个。 36 于是,园主又派更多的奴仆去,结果也遭到同样的对待。 37 最后,园主派了自己的儿子去,心想,‘他们肯定会尊重我的儿子。’ 38 然而,那些佃户看见园主的儿子来了,就商量说,‘这是园主的继承人。来吧!我们杀掉他,占了他的产业!’ 39 于是,他们抓住他,把他推出园外杀了。 40 那么,当园主回来的时候,他会怎样处置那些佃户呢?”
41 他们说:“他会毫不留情地除掉那些恶人,然后把葡萄园租给其他按时交果子的佃户。”
42 耶稣说:
“‘工匠丢弃的石头已成了房角石。
这是主的作为,在我们看来奇妙莫测。’
你们难道没有读过这段经文吗? 43 所以,我告诉你们,将把上帝的国从你们那里夺去,赐给结果子的人。 44 凡跌在这石头上的人,一定粉身碎骨;这石头落在谁身上,就会把谁砸烂。”
45 祭司长和法利赛人听了耶稣的比喻,明白是针对他们讲的。 46 他们试图逮捕耶稣,但又害怕百姓,因为百姓都认为耶稣是先知。

主骑驴进耶路撒冷
21 耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其,在橄榄山那里, 2 耶稣就打发两个门徒,对他们说:“你们往对面村子里去,必看见一匹驴拴在那里,还有驴驹同在一处。你们解开,牵到我这里来。 3 若有人对你们说什么,你们就说:‘主要用它。’那人必立时让你们牵来。” 4 这事成就,是要应验先知的话说: 5 “要对锡安的居民[a]说:‘看哪,你的王来到你这里,是温柔的,又骑着驴,就是骑着驴驹子。’” 6 门徒就照耶稣所吩咐的去行, 7 牵了驴和驴驹来,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶稣就骑上。 8 众人多半把衣服铺在路上,还有人砍下树枝来铺在路上。 9 前行后随的众人喊着说:“和散那[b]归于大卫的子孙!奉主名来的是应当称颂的!高高在上和散那!” 10 耶稣既进了耶路撒冷,合城都惊动了,说:“这是谁?” 11 众人说:“这是加利利拿撒勒的先知耶稣。”
洁净圣殿
12 耶稣进了神的殿,赶出殿里一切做买卖的人,推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子, 13 对他们说:“经上记着说:‘我的殿必称为祷告的殿’,你们倒使它成为贼窝了!” 14 在殿里有瞎子、瘸子到耶稣跟前,他就治好了他们。 15 祭司长和文士看见耶稣所行的奇事,又见小孩子在殿里喊着说“和散那归于大卫的子孙”,就甚恼怒, 16 对他说:“这些人所说的,你听见了吗?”耶稣说:“是的。经上说‘你从婴孩和吃奶的口中完全了赞美’的话,你们没有念过吗?” 17 于是离开他们,出城到伯大尼去,在那里住宿。
无花果树被咒诅
18 早晨回城的时候,他饿了。 19 看见路旁有一棵无花果树,就走到跟前,在树上找不着什么,不过有叶子,就对树说:“从今以后,你永不结果子!”那无花果树就立刻枯干了。 20 门徒看见了,便稀奇说:“无花果树怎么立刻枯干了呢?” 21 耶稣回答说:“我实在告诉你们:你们若有信心,不疑惑,不但能行无花果树上所行的事,就是对这座山说:‘你挪开此地,投在海里!’,也必成就。 22 你们祷告,无论求什么,只要信,就必得着。”
辩驳耶稣的权柄
23 耶稣进了殿,正教训人的时候,祭司长和民间的长老来,问他说:“你仗着什么权柄做这些事?给你这权柄的是谁呢?” 24 耶稣回答说:“我也要问你们一句话,你们若告诉我,我就告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。 25 约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的?是从天上来的,是从人间来的呢?”他们彼此商议说:“我们若说从天上来,他必对我们说:‘这样,你们为什么不信他呢?’ 26 若说从人间来,我们又怕百姓,因为他们都以约翰为先知。” 27 于是回答耶稣说:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”
两个儿子的比喻
28 又说:“一个人有两个儿子。他来对大儿子说:‘我儿,你今天到葡萄园里去做工。’ 29 他回答说‘我不去’,以后自己懊悔,就去了。 30 又来对小儿子也是这样说,他回答说‘父啊,我去’,他却不去。 31 你们想这两个儿子是哪一个遵行父命呢?”他们说:“大儿子。”耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们:税吏和娼妓倒比你们先进神的国。 32 因为约翰遵着义路到你们这里来,你们却不信他,税吏和娼妓倒信他。你们看见了,后来还是不懊悔去信他。
凶恶园户的比喻
33 “你们再听一个比喻:有个家主栽了一个葡萄园,周围圈上篱笆,里面挖了一个压酒池,盖了一座楼,租给园户,就往外国去了。 34 收果子的时候近了,就打发仆人到园户那里去收果子。 35 园户拿住仆人,打了一个,杀了一个,用石头打死一个。 36 主人又打发别的仆人去,比先前更多,园户还是照样待他们。 37 后来打发他的儿子到他们那里去,意思说:‘他们必尊敬我的儿子。’ 38 不料园户看见他儿子,就彼此说:‘这是承受产业的。来吧,我们杀他,占他的产业!’ 39 他们就拿住他,推出葡萄园外杀了。 40 园主来的时候,要怎样处治这些园户呢?” 41 他们说:“要下毒手除灭那些恶人,将葡萄园另租给那按着时候交果子的园户。” 42 耶稣说:“经上写着:‘匠人所弃的石头,已做了房角的头块石头。这是主所做的,在我们眼中看为稀奇。’这经你们没有念过吗? 43 所以我告诉你们:神的国必从你们夺去,赐给那能结果子的百姓。 44 谁掉在这石头上,必要跌碎;这石头掉在谁的身上,就要把谁砸得稀烂。” 45 祭司长和法利赛人听见他的比喻,就看出他是指着他们说的。 46 他们想要捉拿他,只是怕众人,因为众人以他为先知。

光榮進聖城
21 耶穌和門徒離耶路撒冷越來越近了,他們來到橄欖山旁的伯法其。 2 耶穌派兩個門徒進村,並對他們說:「你們到前面的村莊去,就會看見一頭母驢拴在那裡,旁邊還有一頭驢駒。你們把牠們解開,牽到我這裡。 3 要是有人問起,你們就說,『主要用牠們』,那人會立刻讓你們牽來。」 4 這件事是要應驗先知的話:
5 「要對錫安城[a]說,『看啊,你的君王來了!祂謙卑地騎著驢,騎著一頭驢駒。』」
6 兩個門徒照著耶穌的吩咐去了, 7 把母驢和驢駒帶了回來。他們把自己的衣服蓋在驢背上,讓耶穌騎上去。 8 許多人把衣服鋪在路上,也有些人砍下樹枝鋪在路上。 9 眾人前呼後擁,歡呼著說:
「和散那[b]歸於大衛的後裔!
奉主名來的當受稱頌!
和散那歸於至高之處的上帝!」
10 耶穌進耶路撒冷時,全城轟動,說:「這是誰?」
11 眾人說:「祂是先知耶穌,來自加利利的拿撒勒。」
潔淨聖殿
12 耶穌進入聖殿,趕走裡面做買賣的人,又推翻兌換錢幣之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子。
13 耶穌斥責他們說:「聖經上說,『我的殿必稱為禱告的殿。』你們竟把它變成了賊窩。」
14 殿中的瞎子和瘸子都來到耶穌面前,祂便醫好了他們。 15 祭司長和律法教師看見祂所行的奇事,又聽見小孩子在聖殿裡高聲喊著:「和散那歸於大衛的後裔!」便十分惱怒。 16 他們責問耶穌說:「你聽見這些人說的了嗎?」
耶穌說:「我聽見了。聖經上說,『你使孩童和嬰兒口中發出頌讚』,你們沒有讀過嗎?」 17 然後,祂便離開他們,出城前往伯大尼,在那裡住宿。
咒詛無花果樹
18 清早,耶穌在回城的途中餓了。 19 祂看見路旁有一棵無花果樹,便走過去,卻發現除了葉子外什麼也沒有。
祂對那棵樹說:「你將再不會結果子!」那棵樹立刻枯萎了。
20 門徒見了就驚奇地問:「這棵樹怎麼一下子枯萎了?」
21 耶穌回答說:「我實在告訴你們,如果你們有信心、不懷疑,不但能使無花果樹枯乾,就算對這座山說,『從這裡挪開,投進大海裡!』也照樣可以實現。 22 所以,你們禱告時無論求什麼,只要有信心,就必定得到。」
質問耶穌的權柄
23 耶穌進了聖殿,正在教導人的時候,祭司長和民間的長老來質問祂:「你憑什麼權柄做這些事?誰授權給你了?」
24 耶穌說:「我也要問你們一個問題,你們回答了,我就告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。 25 約翰的洗禮是從哪裡來的?從天上來的,還是從人來的?」
他們便彼此議論說:「如果我們說『是從天上來的』,祂一定會問我們,『那你們為什麼不信他?』 26 但如果我們說『是從人來的』,又怕觸怒百姓,因為他們相信約翰是個先知。」 27 於是,他們回答耶穌說:「我們不知道。」
耶穌說:「我也不告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」
兩個兒子的比喻
28 耶穌又說:「你們怎樣看這件事?某人有兩個兒子。他對大兒子說,『孩子,你今天到葡萄園工作吧!』
29 「大兒子回答說,『我不去!』但後來他改變了主意,就去了。
30 「那父親又對小兒子說,『你今天到葡萄園工作吧!』小兒子回答說,『好的,父親。』他答應了,卻沒有去。
31 「你們認為這兩個兒子,到底哪一個服從父親呢?」
他們回答道:「大兒子。」
耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,稅吏和娼妓要比你們先進上帝的國。 32 因為約翰來指示你們當行的正路,你們不信他,但稅吏和娼妓信了。你們親眼看見了這些事,竟然還是執迷不悟,不肯信他。
惡毒的佃戶
33 「你們再聽一個比喻。有個園主栽種了一個葡萄園,在園子的四周建造圍牆,又在園中挖了一個榨酒池,建了一座瞭望臺,然後把葡萄園租給佃戶,就出遠門了。 34 到了收穫的季節,園主派奴僕到佃戶那裡收果子。 35 但那些佃戶卻抓住他的奴僕,打傷一個,殺死一個,又用石頭打死了一個。 36 於是,園主又派更多的奴僕去,結果也遭到同樣的對待。 37 最後,園主派了自己的兒子去,心想,『他們肯定會尊重我的兒子。』 38 然而,那些佃戶看見園主的兒子來了,就商量說,『這是園主的繼承人。來吧!我們殺掉他,佔了他的產業!』 39 於是,他們抓住他,把他推出園外殺了。 40 那麼,當園主回來的時候,他會怎樣處置那些佃戶呢?」
41 他們說:「他會毫不留情地除掉那些惡人,然後把葡萄園租給其他按時交果子的佃戶。」
42 耶穌說:
「『工匠丟棄的石頭已成了房角石。
這是主的作為,在我們看來奇妙莫測。』
你們難道沒有讀過這段經文嗎? 43 所以,我告訴你們,將把上帝的國從你們那裡奪去,賜給結果子的人。 44 凡跌在這石頭上的人,一定粉身碎骨;這石頭落在誰身上,就會把誰砸爛。」
45 祭司長和法利賽人聽了耶穌的比喻,明白是針對他們講的。 46 他們試圖逮捕耶穌,但又害怕百姓,因為百姓都認為耶穌是先知。
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, 2 saying 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. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4 This 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)
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks(F) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet(J) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple(K)
12 Jesus 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)
14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.(Q) 15 But 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,
17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,(U) where he spent the night.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree(V)
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing 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)
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus 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. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for(Y) in prayer.”
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(Z)
23 Jesus 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?”
24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’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?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(AB)
27 So 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. 32 For 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) 34 When 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) 36 Then he sent other servants(AP) to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last 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) 39 So 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.”
42 Jesus 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. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”[i](AX)
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.(AY)
