Matthew 21
World English Bible
21 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage,[a] to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite 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 immediately he will send them.”
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion,
behold, your King comes to you,
humble, and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”(A)
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them, 7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them. 8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna[b] to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (B)
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’(C) but you have made it a den of robbers!”(D)
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?”
Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”(E)
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!”
Immediately the fig tree withered away.
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done. 22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?”
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.” 27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.”
He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. 28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’ 29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went. 30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?”
They said to him, “The first.”
Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
33 “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country. 34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit. 35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way. 37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him. 40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘The stone which the builders rejected
was made the head of the corner.
This was from the Lord.
It is marvelous in our eyes’?(F)
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit. 44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them. 46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
Матей 21
Библия, ревизирано издание
Влизането на Исус Христос в Йерусалим
21 (A)И когато се приближиха до Йерусалим и дойдоха във Витфагия при Елеонския хълм, Исус изпрати двама ученици и им каза:
2 Идете в селото, което е отсреща; и веднага ще намерите вързана ослица и осле с нея; отвържете ги и Ми ги докарайте.
3 И ако някой ви каже нещо, отговорете: На Господа трябват; и веднага ще ги изпрати.
4 А това стана, за да се сбъдне изреченото от пророка, който казва:
5 (B)
„Кажете на Сионовата дъщеря:
Ето, твоят Цар иде при тебе,
кротък и възседнал на осел
и на осле, рожба на ослица.“
6 (C)И така, учениците отидоха и направиха, както им нареди Исус;
7 (D)докараха ослицата и ослето и намятаха на тях дрехите си; и Той седна върху тях.
8 (E)А по-голямата част от множеството разстлаха дрехите си по пътя; други пък сечаха клони от дърветата и ги постилаха по пътя.
9 (F)А множествата, които вървяха пред Него и които идваха след Него, викаха: Осанна[a] на Давидовия Син! Благословен, Който иде в Господнето име! Осанна във висините!
10 (G)И когато влезе в Йерусалим, целият град се раздвижи; и казваха: Кой е Този?
11 (H)А народът казваше: Той е пророкът Исус, Който е от Назарет в Галилея.
Изгонването на търговците от храма
12 (I)И Исус влезе в Божия храм и изпъди всички, които продаваха и купуваха в храма, и преобърна масите на обменителите на пари и столовете на онези, които продаваха гълъбите, и им каза:
13 (J)Писано е: „Домът Ми ще се нарече молитвен дом“, а вие го правите разбойнически вертеп.
14 И някои слепи и куци дойдоха при Него в храма; и Той ги изцели.
15 А главните свещеници и книжниците, като видяха чудесата, които извърши, и децата, които викаха в храма: Осанна на Давидовия Син!, възнегодуваха и Му казаха:
16 (K)Чуваш ли какво казват тези? А Исус им отговори: Чувам. Не сте ли чели никога тези думи:
„От устата на младенци и кърмачетата
приготвил си хвала“?
17 (L)И след като ги остави, излезе вън от града до Витания, където и пренощува.
Безплодната смокиня
18 (M)А на сутринта, когато се връщаше в града, огладня.
19 (N)И като видя една смокиня край пътя, дойде при нея, но не намери нищо на нея освен едни листа; и каза: Отсега нататък да няма плод от тебе до века. И смокинята веднага изсъхна.
20 (O)И учениците, които видяха това, се удивиха и казаха: Как вднага изсъхна смокинята?
21 (P)А Исус отговори: Истина ви казвам: Ако имате вяра и не се усъмните, не само ще извършите стореното на смокинята, но даже ако кажете на този хълм: Вдигни се и се хвърли в морето!, ще стане.
22 (Q)И всичко, което поискате в молитва, като вярвате, ще получите.
За властта на Исус Христос
23 (R)И когато дойде в храма, като поучаваше, главните свещеници и старейшините на народа дойдоха при Него и казаха: С каква власт правиш тези неща и кой Ти е дал тази власт?
24 А Исус им отговори: Ще ви задам и Аз един въпрос, на който ако ми отговорите, то и Аз ще ви кажа с каква власт правя тези неща.
25 Йоановото кръщение откъде беше? От небето или от човеците? А те разискваха помежду си: Ако кажем: От небето, Той ще ни каже: Тогава защо не му повярвахте?
26 (S)Но ако кажем: От човеците, боим се от народа; защото всички смятат Йоан за пророк.
27 И така, в отговор на Исус казаха: Не знаем. И Той им каза: Нито Аз ви казвам с каква власт правя тези неща.
Притча за двамата сина
28 А какво мислите за това? Един човек имаше двама сина; отиде при първия и му каза: Синко, иди, работи днес на лозето.
29 А той отговори: Не искам; но после се разкая и отиде.
30 Отиде и при втория и му каза същото. А той отговори: Аз ще ида, господарю! Но не отиде.
31 (T)Кой от двамата изпълни волята на баща си? Отвърнаха Му: Първият. Исус им каза: Истина ви казвам, че бирниците и блудниците ви изпреварват в Божието царство.
32 (U)Защото Йоан дойде при вас в пътя на правдата и не му повярвахте; но бирниците и блудниците му повярваха; а вие, като видяхте това, дори и впоследствие не се разкаяхте, за да му вярвате.
Притча за злите земеделци
33 (V)Чуйте друга притча. Имаше един стопанин, който насади лозе, огради го с плет, изкопа в него лин и построи кула; и като го даде под наем на земеделци, отиде в чужбина.
34 (W)И когато наближи гроздоберът, изпрати слугите си при земеделците да приберат плода му.
35 (X)А земеделците хванаха слугите му, един биха, друг убиха, а трети с камъни замериха.
36 Пак изпрати други слуги, повече на брой от първите; и на тях сториха същото.
37 Най-после изпрати при тях сина си, като мислеше: Ще се засрамят поне от сина ми.
38 (Y)Но земеделците, като видяха сина, казаха помежду си: Той е наследникът; елате да го убием и да присвоим наследството му.
39 (Z)И като го хванаха, изхвърлиха го вън от лозето и го убиха.
40 И така, когато си до̀йде стопанинът на лозето, какво ще направи на тези земеделци?
41 (AA)Казаха Му: Злодеите ще погуби зле, а лозето ще даде под наем на други земеделци, които ще му дават плодовете на времето им.
42 (AB)Исус им каза: Никога ли не сте чели в Писанията тези думи:
„Камъкът, който отхвърлиха зидарите,
Той стана глава на ъгъла.
От Господа е това.
И чудно е в нашите очи“?
43 (AC)Затова ви казвам, че Божието царство ще се отнеме от вас и ще се даде на народ, който принася плодовете му.
44 (AD)И който падне върху този камък, ще се разбие; а върху когото падне камъкът – ще го смаже.
45 И главните свещеници и фарисеите, като чуха притчите Му, разбраха, че за тях говори;
46 (AE)но когато поискаха да Го хванат, се изплашиха от народа, понеже Го смяташе за пророк.

Matthew 21
New King James Version
The Triumphal Entry(A)
21 Now (B)when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to [a]Bethphage, at (C)the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 [b]All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 “Tell(D) the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”
6 (E)So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, (F)laid their clothes on them, [c]and set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; (G)others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
(H)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”
10 (I)And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, (J)the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple(K)
12 (L)Then Jesus went into the temple [d]of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the (M)money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, (N)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a (O)‘den of thieves.’ ”
14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the (P)Son of David!” they were [e]indignant 16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?”
And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read,
(Q)‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have perfected praise’?”
17 Then He left them and (R)went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there.
The Fig Tree Withered(S)
18 (T)Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 (U)And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree(V)
20 (W)And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”
21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, (X)if you have faith and (Y)do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, (Z)but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 22 And (AA)whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Jesus’ Authority Questioned(AB)
23 (AC)Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and (AD)said, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?”
24 But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: 25 The (AE)baptism of (AF)John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we (AG)fear the multitude, (AH)for all count John as a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus and said, “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 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my (AI)vineyard.’ 29 He answered and said, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he regretted it and went. 30 Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, ‘I go, sir,’ but he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?”
They said to Him, “The first.”
Jesus said to them, (AJ)“Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. 32 For (AK)John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; (AL)but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward [f]relent and believe him.
The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers(AM)
33 “Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner (AN)who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and (AO)went into a far country. 34 Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. 35 (AP)And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. 37 Then last of all he sent his (AQ)son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, (AR)‘This is the heir. (AS)Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 39 (AT)So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?”
41 (AU)They said to Him, (AV)“He will destroy those wicked men miserably, (AW)and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will [g]render to him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
(AX)‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 “Therefore I say to you, (AY)the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And (AZ)whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, (BA)it will grind him to powder.”
45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they [h]perceived that He was speaking of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they (BB)feared the multitudes, because (BC)they took Him for a prophet.
