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)

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.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Matagumpay na Pumasok si Jesus sa Jerusalem(A)
21 Nang malapit na sila sa Jerusalem at nakarating sa Betfage, sa bundok ng mga Olibo, si Jesus ay nagsugo ng dalawang alagad. 2 Sinasabi niya sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo sa susunod na nayon, at kaagad kayong makakakita ng isang inahing asno na nakatali at may kasamang isang bisiro. Kalagan ninyo at dalhin dito sa akin. 3 Kung may magsasabi sa inyo ng anuman, sabihin ninyo, ‘Kailangan sila ng Panginoon,’ at kaagad niyang ipapadala ang mga iyon.” 4 Nangyari ito upang matupad ang pinahayag sa pamamagitan ng propeta, na nagsasabi,
5 “Sabihin (B) ninyo sa anak na babae ng Zion,
Pagmasdan mo, ang iyong Hari ay dumarating sa iyo,
mapagpakumbaba, at nakasakay sa isang asno,
at sa bisiro ng isang inahing asno.”
6 Pumunta nga ang mga alagad at ginawa kung ano ang ipinagbilin sa kanila ni Jesus. 7 Dinala nila ang inahing asno at ang bisiro at isinapin nila sa ibabaw ng mga ito ang kanilang mga balabal. At doon ay naupo siya. 8 Karamihan sa mga tao ay naglatag ng kanilang mga balabal sa daan, at ang iba'y pumutol ng mga sanga sa mga puno at ikinalat ang mga ito sa daan. 9 At (C) ang napakaraming taong nauuna sa kanya pati ang mga sumusunod sa kanya ay nagsigawan, na sinasabi, “Hosanna sa Anak ni David! Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon! Hosanna sa kataas-taasan!” 10 Pagpasok niya sa Jerusalem ay nagkagulo sa buong lungsod. “Sino ba ang taong ito?” tanong ng mga tao. 11 Sinabi ng marami, “Siya ang propetang si Jesus, na taga-Nazareth ng Galilea.”
Nilinis ni Jesus ang Templo(D)
12 Pumasok si Jesus sa templo,[a] at itinaboy niya ang lahat ng nagtitinda at namimili sa templo. Pinagbabaligtad niya ang mga mesa ng mga nagpapalit ng salapi at ang mga upuan ng mga nagtitinda ng mga kalapati. 13 Sinabi (E) niya sa kanila, “Nasusulat,
‘Ang aking bahay ay tatawaging bahay-dalanginan,’
ngunit ginagawa ninyo itong pugad ng mga magnanakaw.”
14 Lumapit sa kanya sa templo ang mga bulag at ang mga pilay, at sila'y kanyang pinagaling. 15 Subalit nagalit ang mga punong pari at ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan nang makita nila ang mga kamangha-manghang bagay na kanyang ginawa, at ang mga batang sumisigaw sa templo, nagsasabing, “Hosanna sa Anak ni David.” 16 At (F) sinabi nila sa kanya, “Naririnig mo ba ang sinasabi ng mga ito?” At sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Oo. Hindi pa ba ninyo nababasa,
‘Mula sa bibig ng mga sanggol at ng mga musmos,
naghanda ka para sa iyong sarili ng papuring lubos?’ ”
17 Pagkatapos niyang iwan sila, lumabas siya sa lungsod papuntang Betania, at doon ay nagpalipas ng gabi.
Sinumpa ang Puno ng Igos(G)
18 Nang kinaumagahan, habang pabalik siya sa lungsod ay nagutom siya. 19 Nang makakita siya ng isang puno ng igos sa tabi ng daan, nilapitan niya ito. Ngunit wala siyang natagpuang kahit ano roon, kundi mga dahon lamang. Sinabi niya rito, “Hindi ka na muling mamumunga kahit kailan!” At biglang natuyo ang puno ng igos. 20 Nang ito'y makita ng mga alagad, nagtaka sila at nagtanong, “Paano nangyaring biglang natuyo ang puno ng igos?” 21 Sumagot (H) si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Tinitiyak ko sa inyo, kung kayo'y may pananampalataya at walang pag-aalinlangan, hindi lamang ang nagawa sa puno ng igos ang inyong magagawa, kundi kahit sabihin ninyo sa bundok na ito, ‘Umalis ka diyan at itapon mo ang sarili sa dagat,’ ito ay mangyayari. 22 At anumang hingin ninyo sa panalangin, kung may kalakip na pananampalataya, ay inyong tatanggapin.”
Pagtuligsa sa Awtoridad ni Jesus(I)
23 Pagpasok ni Jesus sa templo ay lumapit sa kanya ang mga punong pari at ang matatandang pinuno ng bayan. Habang siya'y nagtuturo ay nagtanong sila, “Ano'ng awtoridad mo at ginagawa mo ang mga bagay na ito? At sino ang nagbigay sa iyo ng awtoridad na ito?” 24 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila, “Mayroon din akong katanungan sa inyo, at kung sasagutin ninyo ay sasabihin ko sa inyo kung ano ang awtoridad ko sa paggawa ng mga bagay na ito. 25 Saan ba nagmula ang bautismo ni Juan? Mula ba sa langit o mula sa mga tao?” At ito'y pinagtalunan nila, “Kung sasabihin natin, ‘Mula sa langit,’ sasabihin naman niya sa atin, ‘Bakit hindi kayo naniwala sa kanya?’ 26 Ngunit kung sasabihin natin, ‘Mula sa mga tao,’ takot naman tayo sa maraming tao, sapagkat kinikilala ng lahat na si Juan ay isang propeta.” 27 Kaya't sumagot sila kay Jesus, “Hindi namin alam.” Sinabi naman niya sa kanila, “Hindi ko rin sasabihin sa inyo kung ano ang aking awtoridad sa paggawa ko ng mga bagay na ito.
Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Dalawang Anak
28 “Ano sa palagay ninyo? May isang taong may dalawang anak. Lumapit siya sa una, at sinabi, ‘Anak, pumunta ka ngayon sa ubasan at magtrabaho.’ 29 Subalit siya'y sumagot at nagsabi, ‘Ayaw ko’; ngunit pagkatapos ay nagbago ang kanyang isip at pumunta rin. 30 Lumapit din siya sa pangalawa, at gayundin ang sinabi. ‘Pupunta po ako’, ang sabi nito, ngunit hindi naman pumunta. 31 Alin sa dalawa ang sumunod sa kagustuhan ng kanyang ama?” Sinabi nila, “Ang una.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Tinitiyak ko sa inyo, ang mga maniningil ng buwis at ang masasamang babae ay nauuna pa sa inyo sa pagpasok sa kaharian ng Diyos. 32 Sapagkat (J) dumating sa inyo si Juan upang ipakita ang daan ng katuwiran, gayunma'y hindi kayo naniwala sa kanya; subalit naniwala sa kanya ang mga maniningil ng buwis at ang masasamang babae. At kahit nakita ninyo ito ay hindi pa rin kayo nagbago ng pag-iisip at naniwala sa kanya.
Ang Talinghaga ng Ubasan at mga Katiwala(K)
33 “Dinggin (L) ninyo ang isa pang talinghaga: May isang taong pinuno ng sambahayan, na nagtanim ng ubas sa kanyang bukirin, at binakuran niya ang palibot nito. Naglagay siya roon ng isang pisaan ng ubas at nagtayo ng isang toreng bantayan. Pinaupahan niya ang ubasan sa mga magsasaka at siya'y nangibang-bayan. 34 Nang malapit na ang panahon ng pamimitas ng bunga, pinapunta niya ang kanyang mga alipin sa mga magsasaka upang kumuha ng mga bunga para sa kanya. 35 Subalit kinuha ng mga magsasaka ang kanyang mga alipin. Binugbog nila ang isa, pinatay ang iba, at pinagbabato ang isa pa. 36 Muli siyang nagpadala ng iba pang mga alipin na mas marami pa sa nauna; subalit ganoon din ang ginawa nila sa kanila. 37 Sa kahuli-hulihan ay pinapunta niya sa kanila ang kanyang anak na lalaki. Wika niya, ‘Igagalang nila ang aking anak.’ 38 Subalit nang makita ng mga magsasaka ang anak, sinabi nila sa isa't isa, ‘Ito ang tagapagmana. Halikayo, patayin natin siya nang makuha natin ang kanyang mana.’ 39 Kaya't siya'y kinuha nila, itinapon sa labas ng ubasan, at pinatay. 40 Kaya't pagdating ng may-ari ng ubasan, ano kaya ang kanyang gagawin sa mga magsasakang iyon?” 41 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Papatayin niya ang mga masasamang taong iyon sa kakila-kilabot na paraan at ang ubasan ay ipagkakatiwala niya sa ibang mga magsasaka na magbibigay sa kanya ng mga bunga sa mga takdang panahon.” 42 Sinabi (M) ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi pa ba ninyo nababasa sa mga kasulatan,
‘Ang batong itinakwil ng mga tagapagtayo ng bahay
ang siyang naging batong panulukan;
Ito'y gawa ng Panginoon,
at kahanga-hangang pagmasdan’?
43 Kaya sinasabi ko sa inyo, ‘Aalisin sa inyo ang kaharian ng Diyos at ibibigay sa isang bansang nagbibigay ng mga bunga nito.’ 44 [Ang mahulog sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay madudurog, subalit dudurugin nito ang sinumang mabagsakan niya.]”[b]
45 Nang marinig ng mga punong pari at ng mga Fariseo ang kanyang mga talinghaga, naunawaan nilang tungkol sa kanila ang kanyang mga sinasabi. 46 At nang balak na sana nilang dakpin si Jesus, natakot sila sa napakaraming tao, sapagkat kinikilala nila na siya'y isang propeta.
