Mateo 21
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
21 At nang malapit na sila sa Jerusalem, at magsidating sa Betfage, sa bundok ng mga Olivo, ay nagsugo nga si Jesus ng dalawang alagad,
2 Na sinasabi sa kanila, Magsiparoon kayo sa nayong nasa tapat ninyo, at pagdaka'y masusumpungan ninyo ang isang nakatali na babaing asno, na may kasamang isang batang asno: kalagin ninyo, at dalhin ninyo sa akin.
3 At kung ang sinoman ay magsabi ng anoman sa inyo, ay sasabihin ninyo, Kinakailangan sila ng Panginoon; at pagdaka'y kaniyang ipadadala sila.
4 Nangyari nga ito, upang matupad ang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng propeta, na nagsasabi,
5 Sabihin ninyo sa anak na babae ng Sion: Narito, ang Hari mo'y pumaparito sa iyo, Na maamo, at nakasakay sa isang asno, At sa isang batang asno na anak ng babaing asno.
6 At nagsiparoon ang mga alagad, at ginawa ang ayon sa ipinagutos ni Jesus sa kanila,
7 At kanilang dinala ang babaing asno, at ang batang asno, at inilagay nila sa ibabaw ng mga ito ang kanilang mga damit; at dito siya'y sumakay.
8 At inilalatag sa daan ng kalakhang bahagi ng karamihan ang kanilang mga damit; at ang mga iba'y nagsiputol ng mga sanga ng mga punong kahoy, at inilalatag sa daan.
9 At ang mga karamihang nangasa unahan niya, at ang nagsisunod, ay nagsisigawan, na nagsisipagsabi, Hosana sa Anak ni David: Mapalad ang pumaparito sa pangalan ng Panginoon: Hosana sa kataastaasan.
10 At nang pumasok si Jesus sa Jerusalem, ay nagkagulo ang buong bayan, na nagsasabi, Sino kaya ito?
11 At sinabi ng mga karamihan, Ito'y ang propeta, Jesus, na taga Nazaret ng Galilea.
12 At pumasok si Jesus sa templo ng Dios, at itinaboy niya ang lahat na nangagbibili at nangamimili sa templo, at ginulo niya ang mga dulang ng mga mamamalit ng salapi, at ang mga upuan ng mga nagbibili ng mga kalapati;
13 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Nasusulat, Ang aking bahay ay tatawaging bahay-panalanginan, datapuwa't ginagawa ninyong yungib ng mga tulisan.
14 At nagsilapit sa kaniya sa templo ang mga bulag at mga pilay, at sila'y kaniyang pinagaling.
15 Datapuwa't nang makita ng mga pangulong saserdote at ng mga eskriba ang mga katakatakang bagay na kaniyang ginawa, at ang mga batang nagsisigawan sa templo at nangagsasabi, Hosana sa Anak ni David; ay nangagalit sila,
16 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Naririnig mo baga ang sinasabi ng mga ito? At sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Oo: kailan man baga'y hindi ninyo nabasa, Mula sa bibig ng mga sanggol at ng mga sumususo ay iyong nilubos ang pagpupuri?
17 At sila'y kaniyang iniwan, at pumaroon sa labas ng bayan sa Betania, at nakipanuluyan doon.
18 Pagka umaga nga nang siya'y bumabalik sa bayan, nagutom siya.
19 At pagkakita sa isang puno ng igos sa tabi ng daan, ay kaniyang nilapitan, at walang nasumpungang anoman doon, kundi mga dahon lamang; at sinabi niya rito, Mula ngayo'y huwag kang magbunga kailan man. At pagdaka'y natuyo ang puno ng igos.
20 At nang makita ito ng mga alagad, ay nangagtaka sila, na nangagsasabi, Ano't pagdaka'y natuyo ang puno ng igos?
21 At sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Kung kayo'y may pananampalataya, at di mangagaalinlangan, hindi lamang mangagagawa ninyo ang nangyari sa puno ng igos, kundi maging sabihin ninyo sa bundok na ito, mapataas ka, at mapasugba ka sa dagat, ay mangyayari.
22 At lahat ng mga bagay na inyong hihingin sa panalangin, na may pananampalataya, ay inyong tatanggapin.
23 At pagpasok niya sa templo, ay nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga pangulong saserdote at ang matatanda sa bayan, samantalang siya'y nagtuturo, at nangagsabi, Sa anong kapamahalaan ginagawa mo ang mga bagay na ito? at sino ang sa iyo'y nagbigay ng kapamahalaang ito?
24 At sumagot si Jesus at sa kanila'y sinabi, Tatanungin ko rin naman kayo ng isang tanong, na kung inyong sasabihin sa akin, ay sasabihin ko naman sa inyo kung sa anong kapamahalaan ginagawa ko ang mga bagay na ito.
25 Ang bautismo ni Juan, saan baga nagmula? sa langit o sa mga tao? At kanilang pinagkatuwiranan sa kanilang sarili, na nangagsasabi, Kung sabihin natin, Sa langit; sasabihin niya sa atin, Bakit nga hindi ninyo siya pinaniwalaan?
26 Datapuwa't kung sasabihin, Sa mga tao; nangatatakot tayo sa karamihan; sapagka't kinikilala ng lahat na propeta si Juan.
27 At sila'y nagsisagot kay Jesus, at sinabi, Hindi namin nalalaman. Kaniyang sinabi naman sa kanila, Hindi ko rin naman sasabihin sa inyo kung sa anong kapamahalaan ginagawa ko ang mga bagay na ito.
28 Datapuwa't ano sa akala ninyo? Isang taong may dalawang anak; at lumapit siya sa una, at sinabi, Anak, pumaroon at gumawa ka ngayon sa ubasan.
29 At sinagot niya at sinabi, Ayaw ko: datapuwa't nagsisi siya pagkatapos, at naparoon.
30 At siya'y lumapit sa ikalawa, at gayon din ang sinabi. At sumagot siya at sinabi, Ginoo, ako'y paroroon: at hindi naparoon.
31 Alin baga sa dalawa ang gumanap ng kalooban ng kaniyang ama? Sinabi nila, Ang una. Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na ang mga maniningil ng buwis at ang mga patutot ay nangauuna sa inyo ng pagpasok sa kaharian ng Dios.
32 Sapagka't naparito si Juan sa inyo sa daan ng katuwiran, at hindi ninyo siya pinaniwalaan; datapuwa't pinaniwalaan siya ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng mga patutot: at kayo, sa pagkakita ninyo nito, ay hindi man kayo nangagsisi pagkatapos, upang kayo'y magsipaniwala sa kaniya.
33 Pakinggan ninyo ang isa pang talinghaga: May isang tao, na puno ng sangbahayan, na nagtanim ng isang ubasan, at binakuran niya ng mga buhay na punong kahoy sa palibot, at humukay roon ng isang pisaan ng ubas, at nagtayo ng isang bantayan, at ipinagkatiwala yaon sa mga magsasaka, at napasa ibang lupain.
34 At nang malapit na ang panahon ng pamumunga, ay sinugo ang kaniyang mga alipin sa mga magsasaka, upang tanggapin ang kaniyang bunga.
35 At pinaghawakan ng mga magsasaka ang kaniyang mga alipin, at hinampas nila ang isa, at ang isa'y pinatay, at ang isa'y binato.
36 Muling sinugo niya ang ibang mga alipin, na mahigit pa sa nangauna; at ginawa rin sa kanila ang gayon ding paraan.
37 Datapuwa't pagkatapos ay sinugo niya sa kanila ang kaniyang anak na lalake, na nagsasabi, Igagalang nila ang aking anak.
38 Datapuwa't nang makita ng mga magsasaka ang anak, ay nangagusapan sila, Ito ang tagapagmana; halikayo, siya'y ating patayin, at kunin natin ang kaniyang mana.
39 At siya'y hinawakan nila, at itinaboy siya sa ubasan, at pinatay siya.
40 Pagdating nga ng panginoon ng ubasan, ano kaya ang gagawin sa mga magsasakang yaon?
41 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Pupuksaing walang awa ang mga tampalasang yaon, at ibibigay ang ubasan sa mga ibang magsasaka, na sa kaniya'y mangagbibigay ng mga bunga sa kanilang kapanahunan.
42 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Kailan man baga'y hindi ninyo nabasa sa mga kasulatan, Ang batong itinakuwil ng nangagtatayo ng gusali, Ang siya ring ginawang pangulo sa panulok; Ito'y mula sa Panginoon, At ito'y kagilagilalas sa harap ng ating mga mata?
43 Kaya nga sinasabi ko sa inyo, Aalisin sa inyo ang kaharian ng Dios, at ibibigay sa isang bansang nagkakabunga.
44 At ang mahulog sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay madudurog: datapuwa't sinomang kaniyang malagpakan, ay pangangalating gaya ng alabok.
45 At nang marinig ng mga pangulong saserdote at ng mga Fariseo ang kaniyang mga talinghaga, ay kanilang napaghalata na sila ang kaniyang pinagsasalitaan.
46 At nang sila'y nagsisihanap ng paraang siya'y mahuli, ay nangatakot sila sa karamihan, sapagka't ipinalalagay nito na siya'y propeta.
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)

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.
