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.

Ciise Guul Buu Ku Galay Yeruusaalem(A)
21 Goortay Yeruusaalem ku soo dhowaadeen oo ay Beytfaage galeen ilaa Buur Saytuun, markaasaa Ciise laba xer ah diray, 2 oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tuulada idinka soo hor jeedda taga, oo kolkiiba waxaad ka helaysaan dameer xidhan iyo qayl la jooga. Soo fura oo ii keena, 3 oo haddii nin wax idinku yidhaahdo, waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Sayidkaa u baahan, oo kolkiiba wuu soo diri doonaa. 4 Waxanu waa dhaceen in la arko wixii nebiga lagaga dhex hadlay markuu yidhi,
5 Gabadha Siyoon u sheega,
Bal eeg, boqorkaagu waa kuu imanayaa,
Isagoo qalbi qabow, oo dameer fuushan
Iyo qayl dameereed.
6 Markaasaa xertii tagtay, oo sida Ciise ku amray ayay yeeleen. 7 Dameertii iyo qaylkii ayay keeneen, oo dharkoodii bay dusha ka saareen, wuuna ku fadhiistay. 8 Dadka badidooda ayaa dharkoodii jidka ku goglay, qaar kalena laamo ayay geedaha ka soo jareen oo jidka ku gogleen. 9 Dadkii badnaa oo hor socday iyo kuwii daba socday waxay ku qayliyeen, [a]Hoosanna ha u jirto ina Daa'uud. Waxaa barakaysan kan Rabbiga magiciisa ku imanaya, Hoosanna ha ku jirto meelaha ugu sarreeya. 10 Oo goortuu Yeruusaalem galay, magaalada oo dhan waa kacsanayd, iyagoo leh, Kanu yuu yahay? 11 Dadkii badnaa ayaa yidhi, Kanu waa nebiga Ciise la yidhaahdo oo ka yimid Naasared tii Galili.
Ciise Macbudkuu Nadiifiyey(B)
12 Ciise wuxuu galay macbudka Ilaah oo ka eryay kulli kuwii macbudka wax ku iibinayay iyo kuwii wax ka iibsanayay, oo wuxuuna rogay miisaskii kuwii lacagta bedbeddelayay iyo kursiyadii kuwii qoolleyaha iibinayay. 13 Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Waa qoran tahay, Gurigayga waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa guriga tukashada, laakiin waxaad ka dhigaysaan god tuugo. 14 Waxaana macbudka ugu yimid kuwa indha la' iyo kuwa luga la'; wuuna bogsiiyey. 15 Laakiin wadaaddada sare iyo culimmadu goortay arkeen waxyaalaha yaabka leh oo uu suubbiyey iyo carruurta macbudka ka qaylinaysa, iyagoo leh, Hoosanna ha u jirto ina Daa'uud, way cadhoodeen 16 oo ku yidhaahdeen, Ma maqlaysaa kuwanu waxay leeyihiin? Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Haah, miyaydnaan weligiin akhriyin, Ammaanta waxaad ku hagaajisay afka ilmaha yaryar iyo caanonuugga? 17 Markaasuu ka tegey iyaga oo magaaladii ka baxay ilaa Beytaniya, oo halkaasuu ku hoyday.
Geedka Berdaha Ah Oo Aan Waxba Dhalin(C)
18 Aroortii goortuu magaaladii ku soo noqonayay, wuu gaajaysnaa. 19 Oo wuxuu arkay geed berde ah oo jidka ku ag yaal, kolkaasuu u yimid, waxbana kama uu helin, caleemo keliya maahee. Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Hadda dabadeed weligaa midho yaanay kaa bixin, oo kolkiiba geedkii berdaha ahaa waa engegay. 20 Xertii goortay arkeen way yaabeen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Geedkii berdaha ahaa sidee buu kolkiiba u engegay? 21 Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Haddaad rumaysan tihiin oo aydnaan shakiyin, wixii geedkii berdaha ahaa ku dhacay oo keliya ma aad samayn doontaan, laakiin weliba haddaad buurtan ku tidhaahdaan, Ruq, baddana isku tuur, way noqonaysaa. 22 Oo wax kasta oo aad tukasho ku baridaan idinkoo rumaysan waad heli doontaan.
Ciise Amarkiisii Baa Wax Laga Weyddiiyey(D)
23 Oo goortuu macbudkii galay, intuu wax barayay waxaa u yimid wadaaddadii sare iyo waayeelladii dadka, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Amarkee baad waxan ku samaysaa? Oo yaa amarkan ku siiyey? 24 Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Aniguna hal baan idin weyddiinayaa. Haddaad taas ii sheegtaan, aniguna waan idiin sheegi doonaa amarka aan waxan ku sameeyo. 25 Baabtiiskii Yooxanaa xaggee buu ka yimid? Ma wuxuu ka yimid xagga jannada mise dadka? Dhexdooda ayay iskala hadleen iyagoo leh, Haddaynu nidhaahno, Xagga jannada, wuxuu inagu odhanayaa, Haddaba maxaad u rumaysan weydeen? 26 Laakiin haddii aynu nidhaahno, Xagga dadka, dadka badan ayaynu ka baqaynaa, waayo, Yooxanaa sida nebi oo kale ayay kulli u haystaan. 27 Markaasay Ciise u jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Garan mayno. Isaguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Aniguna idiin sheegi maayo amarka aan waxan ku sameeyo.
Masaalka Ku Saabsan Labada Wiil
28 Maxay idinla tahay? Nin baa laba wiil lahaa. Wuxuu u yimid kii hore oo ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, aad beerta canabka ah oo maanta ka shaqee. 29 Wuxuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Dooni maayo, laakiin kolkaas dabadeed ayuu isqoomameeyey oo aaday. 30 Markaasuu wuxuu u yimid kii labaad, oo sidii oo kale ku yidhi. Isaguna wuxuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waa yahay, waan tegayaa, sayidow, laakiin ma uu tegin. 31 Kee baa labadoodii doonistii aabbihiis yeelay? Waxay yidhaahdeen, Kii hore. Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Runtii waxaan idinku leeyahay, Cashuurqaadayaasha iyo dhillooyinka ayaa idinka hor geli doona boqortooyada Ilaah. 32 Waayo, Yooxanaa wuxuu idiinku yimid jidka xaqnimada ah, oo waad rumaysan weydeen isaga, laakiin cashuurqaadayaashii iyo dhillooyinkii ayaa rumaystay isaga. Idinkuna goortaad aragteen dabadeed iskama aydnaan qoomamayn si aad u rumaysataan.
Masaalka Ku Saabsan Beerta Canabka Ah(E)
33 Maqla masaal kale. Waxaa jiri jiray nin oday reer u ah, oo beer canab ah beertay, oo ood ku heeraaray, dabadeedna god macsareed ka dhex qoday, oo munaarad ka dhisay, oo niman beerrey ah u kiraystay, oo dal kale tegey. 34 Oo goortii xilligii midhahu soo dhowaaday ayuu addoommadiisii u soo diray beerreydii inay midhihiisii u soo qaadaan. 35 Markaasaa beerreydu addoommadiisii qabatay, mid way garaaceen, mid kalena way dileen, mid kalena way dhagxiyeen. 36 Haddana wuxuu diray addoommo kale oo kuwii hore ka badan, iyagiina sidaas oo kalay ku sameeyeen. 37 Laakiin dabadeed wuxuu u soo diray wiilkiisii isagoo leh, Wiilkayga way maamuusi doonaan. 38 Laakiin beerreydii goortay wiilkii arkeen, waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa kii dhaxalka lahaa, kaalaya aan dilnee oo dhaxalkiisa aynu qaadannee. 39 Way qabteen oo beertii canabka ahayd dibaddeeda ku tuureen, wayna dileen. 40 Haddaba sayidkii beerta canabka ah goortuu yimaado, muxuu beerreydaas ku samayn doonaa? 41 Waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Nimankaas belaayada ah si baas buu u baabbi'in doonaa; beerta canabka ahna wuxuu u kiraysan doonaa beerrey kale, kuwa isaga siin doona midhihiisa xilligooda. 42 Markaasaa Ciise ku yidhi iyaga, Miyaanaydin weligiin Qorniinka ka akhriyin,
Dhagaxii kuwa wax dhisaa ay diideen,
Wuxuu noqday madaxa rukunka.
Tanu xagga Rabbiga bay ka timid,
Oo waa ku yaab indhahayaga?
43 Sidaa darteed waxaan idinku leeyahay, Boqortooyada Ilaah waa laydinka qaadi doonaa, oo waxaa la siin doonaa dad midhihii boqortooyada bixiya. 44 Oo kan dhagaxan ku dhacaa, wuu jejebi doonaa, oo kan uu ku dhaco, wuu burburin doonaa.
45 Wadaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii goortay masaalladiisii maqleen waxay garteen inuu iyagu ka hadlay. 46 Goortay dooneen inay qabtaan ayay dadkii badnaa ka baqeen, waayo, waxay u haysteen nebi.

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.
