Matthew 21

GNT

1 καὶ ὅτε ἤγγισαν εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ ἦλθον εἰς βηθφαγὴ εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν, τότε ἰησοῦς ἀπέστειλεν δύο μαθητὰς

2 λέγων αὐτοῖς, πορεύεσθε εἰς τὴν κώμην τὴν κατέναντι ὑμῶν, καὶ εὐθέως εὑρήσετε ὄνον δεδεμένην καὶ πῶλον μετ᾽ αὐτῆς· λύσαντες ἀγάγετέ μοι.

3 καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ τι, ἐρεῖτε ὅτι ὁ κύριος αὐτῶν χρείαν ἔχει· εὐθὺς δὲ ἀποστελεῖ αὐτούς.

4 τοῦτο δὲ γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος,

5 εἴπατε τῇ θυγατρὶ σιών, ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεταί σοι, πραῢς καὶ ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ ὄνον, καὶ ἐπὶ πῶλον υἱὸν ὑποζυγίου.

6 πορευθέντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ καὶ ποιήσαντες καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς

7 ἤγαγον τὴν ὄνον καὶ τὸν πῶλον, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπάνω αὐτῶν.

8 ὁ δὲ πλεῖστος ὄχλος ἔστρωσαν ἑαυτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ, ἄλλοι δὲ ἔκοπτον κλάδους ἀπὸ τῶν δένδρων καὶ ἐστρώννυον ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ.

9 οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι οἱ προάγοντες αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες ἔκραζον λέγοντες, ὡσαννὰ τῶ υἱῶ δαυίδ· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου· ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις.

10 καὶ εἰσελθόντος αὐτοῦ εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα ἐσείσθη πᾶσα ἡ πόλις λέγουσα, τίς ἐστιν οὖτος;

11 οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι ἔλεγον, οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ προφήτης ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀπὸ ναζαρὲθ τῆς γαλιλαίας.

12 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ ἐξέβαλεν πάντας τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράζοντας ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ, καὶ τὰς τραπέζας τῶν κολλυβιστῶν κατέστρεψεν καὶ τὰς καθέδρας τῶν πωλούντων τὰς περιστεράς,

13 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, γέγραπται, ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς κληθήσεται, ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ποιεῖτε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.

14 καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῶ τυφλοὶ καὶ χωλοὶ ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς.

15 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὰ θαυμάσια ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ τοὺς παῖδας τοὺς κράζοντας ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ καὶ λέγοντας, ὡσαννὰ τῶ υἱῶ δαυίδ, ἠγανάκτησαν

16 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, ἀκούεις τί οὖτοι λέγουσιν; ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς, ναί· οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε ὅτι ἐκ στόματος νηπίων καὶ θηλαζόντων κατηρτίσω αἶνον;

17 καὶ καταλιπὼν αὐτοὺς ἐξῆλθεν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς βηθανίαν, καὶ ηὐλίσθη ἐκεῖ.

18 πρωῒ δὲ ἐπανάγων εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἐπείνασεν.

19 καὶ ἰδὼν συκῆν μίαν ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν, καὶ οὐδὲν εὖρεν ἐν αὐτῇ εἰ μὴ φύλλα μόνον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῇ, μηκέτι ἐκ σοῦ καρπὸς γένηται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. καὶ ἐξηράνθη παραχρῆμα ἡ συκῆ.

20 καὶ ἰδόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες, πῶς παραχρῆμα ἐξηράνθη ἡ συκῆ;

21 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν ἔχητε πίστιν καὶ μὴ διακριθῆτε, οὐ μόνον τὸ τῆς συκῆς ποιήσετε, ἀλλὰ κἂν τῶ ὄρει τούτῳ εἴπητε, ἄρθητι καὶ βλήθητι εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, γενήσεται·

22 καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἂν αἰτήσητε ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ πιστεύοντες λήμψεσθε.

23 καὶ ἐλθόντος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσῆλθον αὐτῶ διδάσκοντι οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ λέγοντες, ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς; καὶ τίς σοι ἔδωκεν τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην;

24 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐρωτήσω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ λόγον ἕνα, ὃν ἐὰν εἴπητέ μοι κἀγὼ ὑμῖν ἐρῶ ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ·

25 τὸ βάπτισμα τὸ ἰωάννου πόθεν ἦν; ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων; οἱ δὲ διελογίζοντο ἐν ἑαυτοῖς λέγοντες, ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ ἡμῖν, διὰ τί οὗν οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῶ;

26 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, φοβούμεθα τὸν ὄχλον, πάντες γὰρ ὡς προφήτην ἔχουσιν τὸν ἰωάννην.

27 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες τῶ ἰησοῦ εἶπαν, οὐκ οἴδαμεν. ἔφη αὐτοῖς καὶ αὐτός, οὐδὲ ἐγὼ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῶ.

28 τί δὲ ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; ἄνθρωπος εἶχεν τέκνα δύο. καὶ προσελθὼν τῶ πρώτῳ εἶπεν, τέκνον, ὕπαγε σήμερον ἐργάζου ἐν τῶ ἀμπελῶνι.

29 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, οὐ θέλω, ὕστερον δὲ μεταμεληθεὶς ἀπῆλθεν.

30 προσελθὼν δὲ τῶ ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν ὡσαύτως. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, ἐγώ, κύριε· καὶ οὐκ ἀπῆλθεν.

31 τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν, ὁ πρῶτος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.

32 ἦλθεν γὰρ ἰωάννης πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ὁδῶ δικαιοσύνης, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῶ· οἱ δὲ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐπίστευσαν αὐτῶ· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἰδόντες οὐδὲ μετεμελήθητε ὕστερον τοῦ πιστεῦσαι αὐτῶ.

33 ἄλλην παραβολὴν ἀκούσατε. ἄνθρωπος ἦν οἰκοδεσπότης ὅστις ἐφύτευσεν ἀμπελῶνα καὶ φραγμὸν αὐτῶ περιέθηκεν καὶ ὤρυξεν ἐν αὐτῶ ληνὸν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν πύργον, καὶ ἐξέδετο αὐτὸν γεωργοῖς, καὶ ἀπεδήμησεν.

34 ὅτε δὲ ἤγγισεν ὁ καιρὸς τῶν καρπῶν, ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς λαβεῖν τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτοῦ.

35 καὶ λαβόντες οἱ γεωργοὶ τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ὃν μὲν ἔδειραν, ὃν δὲ ἀπέκτειναν, ὃν δὲ ἐλιθοβόλησαν.

36 πάλιν ἀπέστειλεν ἄλλους δούλους πλείονας τῶν πρώτων, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς ὡσαύτως.

37 ὕστερον δὲ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ λέγων, ἐντραπήσονται τὸν υἱόν μου.

38 οἱ δὲ γεωργοὶ ἰδόντες τὸν υἱὸν εἶπον ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος· δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτὸν καὶ σχῶμεν τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ.

39 καὶ λαβόντες αὐτὸν ἐξέβαλον ἔξω τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος καὶ ἀπέκτειναν.

40 ὅταν οὗν ἔλθῃ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, τί ποιήσει τοῖς γεωργοῖς ἐκείνοις;

41 λέγουσιν αὐτῶ, κακοὺς κακῶς ἀπολέσει αὐτούς, καὶ τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἐκδώσεται ἄλλοις γεωργοῖς, οἵτινες ἀποδώσουσιν αὐτῶ τοὺς καρποὺς ἐν τοῖς καιροῖς αὐτῶν.

42 λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, οὐδέποτε ἀνέγνωτε ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς, λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες οὖτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας· παρὰ κυρίου ἐγένετο αὕτη, καὶ ἔστιν θαυμαστὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν;

43 διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀρθήσεται ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ δοθήσεται ἔθνει ποιοῦντι τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῆς.

44 [καὶ ὁ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον τοῦτον συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφ᾽ ὃν δ᾽ ἂν πέσῃ λικμήσει αὐτόν.]

45 καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ φαρισαῖοι τὰς παραβολὰς αὐτοῦ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι περὶ αὐτῶν λέγει·

46 καὶ ζητοῦντες αὐτὸν κρατῆσαι ἐφοβήθησαν τοὺς ὄχλους, ἐπεὶ εἰς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.

1  And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ they drew nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ and²⁵³² were come²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Bethphage,⁹⁶⁷ unto⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ mount³⁷³⁵ of Olives,¹⁶³⁶ then⁵¹¹⁹ sent⁶⁴⁹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ two¹⁴¹⁷ disciples,³¹⁰¹

2  Saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ village²⁹⁶⁸ over against⁵⁶¹ you,⁵²¹⁶ and²⁵³² straightway²¹¹² ye shall find²¹⁴⁷ an ass³⁶⁸⁸ tied,¹²¹⁰ and²⁵³² a colt⁴⁴⁵⁴ with³³²⁶ her:⁸⁴⁶ loose³⁰⁸⁹ them, and bring⁷¹ them unto me.³⁴²⁷

3  And²⁵³² if¹⁴³⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ man say²⁰³⁶ aught⁵¹⁰⁰ unto you,⁵²¹³ ye shall say,²⁰⁴⁶ The³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² hath²¹⁹² need⁵⁵³² of them;⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² straightway²¹¹² he will send⁶⁴⁹ them.⁸⁴⁶

4  ¹¹⁶¹ All³⁶⁵⁰ this⁵¹²⁴ was done,¹⁰⁹⁶ that²⁴⁴³ it might be fulfilled⁴¹³⁷ which was spoken⁴⁴⁸³ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet,⁴³⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴

5  Tell²⁰³⁶ ye the³⁵⁸⁸ daughter²³⁶⁴ of Zion,⁴⁶²² Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ king⁹³⁵ cometh²⁰⁶⁴ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ meek,⁴²³⁹ and²⁵³² sitting¹⁹¹⁰ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ an ass,³⁶⁸⁸ and²⁵³² a colt⁴⁴⁵⁴ the foal⁵²⁰⁷ of an ass.⁵²⁶⁸

6  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ went,⁴¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² did⁴¹⁶⁰ as²⁵³¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ commanded⁴³⁶⁷ them,⁸⁴⁶

7  And brought⁷¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ass,³⁶⁸⁸ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ colt,⁴⁴⁵⁴ and²⁵³² put²⁰⁰⁷ on¹⁸⁸³ them⁸⁴⁶ their⁸⁴⁸ clothes,²⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² they set¹⁹⁴⁰ him thereon.^{1883 846}

8  And¹¹⁶¹ a very great⁴¹¹⁸ multitude³⁷⁹³ spread⁴⁷⁶⁶ their¹⁴³⁸ garments²⁴⁴⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ way;^{3598 1161} others²⁴³ cut down²⁸⁷⁵ branches²⁷⁹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ trees,¹¹⁸⁶ and²⁵³² strewed⁴⁷⁶⁶ them in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ way.³⁵⁹⁸

9  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitudes³⁷⁹³ that went before,⁴²⁵⁴ and²⁵³² thatfollowed,¹⁹⁰ cried,²⁸⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Hosanna⁵⁶¹⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ son⁵²⁰⁷ of David:¹¹³⁸ Blessed²¹²⁷ is he that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁷²² the name³⁶⁸⁶ of the Lord;²⁹⁶² Hosanna⁵⁶¹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ highest.⁵³¹⁰

10  And²⁵³² when he⁸⁴⁶ was come¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² was moved,⁴⁵⁷⁹ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Who⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ this?³⁷⁷⁸

11  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude³⁷⁹³ said,³⁰⁰⁴ This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ Jesus²⁴²⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophet⁴³⁹⁶ of⁵⁷⁵ Nazareth³⁴⁷⁸ of Galilee.¹⁰⁵⁶

12  And²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ went¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple²⁴¹¹ of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² cast out¹⁵⁴⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ them that sold⁴⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² bought⁵⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² overthrew²⁶⁹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ tables⁵¹³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ moneychangers,²⁸⁵⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ seats²⁵¹⁵ of them that sold⁴⁴⁵³ doves,⁴⁰⁵⁸

13  And²⁵³² said³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ It is written,¹¹²⁵ My³⁴⁵⁰ house³⁶²⁴ shall be called²⁵⁶⁴ the house³⁶²⁴ of prayer;⁴³³⁵ but¹¹⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ have made⁴¹⁶⁰ it⁸⁴⁶ a den⁴⁶⁹³ of thieves.³⁰²⁷

14  And²⁵³² the blind⁵¹⁸⁵ and²⁵³² the lame⁵⁵⁶⁰ came⁴³³⁴ to him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple;²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² he healed²³²³ them.⁸⁴⁶

15  And¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² scribes¹¹²² saw¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ wonderful things²²⁹⁷ that³⁷³⁹ he did,⁴¹⁶⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ children³⁸¹⁶ crying²⁸⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Hosanna⁵⁶¹⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ son⁵²⁰⁷ of David;¹¹³⁸ they were sore displeased,²³

16  And²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ Hearest¹⁹¹ thou what⁵¹⁰¹ these³⁷⁷⁸ say?³⁰⁰⁴ And²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Yea;³⁴⁸³ have ye never³⁷⁶³ read,³¹⁴ Out of¹⁵³⁷ the mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ of babes³⁵¹⁶ and²⁵³² sucklings²³³⁷ thou hast perfected²⁶⁷⁵ praise¹³⁶

17  And²⁵³² he left²⁶⁴¹ them,⁸⁴⁶ and went¹⁸³¹ out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² into¹⁵¹⁹ Bethany;⁹⁶³ and²⁵³² he lodged⁸³⁵ there.¹⁵⁶³

18  Now¹¹⁶¹ in the morning⁴⁴⁰⁵ as he returned¹⁸⁷⁷ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ city,⁴¹⁷² he hungered.³⁹⁸³

19  And²⁵³² when he saw¹⁴⁹² a³³⁹¹ fig tree⁴⁸⁰⁸ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ way,³⁵⁹⁸ he came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ it,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² found²¹⁴⁷ nothing³⁷⁶² thereon,^{1722 846} but¹⁵⁰⁸ leaves⁵⁴⁴⁴ only,³⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² said³⁰⁰⁴ unto it,⁸⁴⁶ Let no fruit²⁵⁹⁰ grow¹⁰⁹⁶ on¹⁵³⁷ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ henceforward³³⁷¹ forever.^{1519 165} And²⁵³² presently³⁹¹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ fig tree⁴⁸⁰⁸ withered away.³⁵⁸³

20  And²⁵³² when the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ saw¹⁴⁹² it, they marveled,²²⁹⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ How⁴⁴⁵⁹ soon³⁹¹⁶ is the³⁵⁸⁸ fig tree⁴⁸⁰⁸ withered away!³⁵⁸³

21  ¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ answered⁶¹¹ and said²⁰³⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ If¹⁴³⁷ ye have²¹⁹² faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² doubt¹²⁵² not,³³⁶¹ ye shall not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ do⁴¹⁶⁰ this³⁵⁸⁸ which is done to the³⁵⁸⁸ fig tree,⁴⁸⁰⁸ but²³⁵ also if²⁵⁷⁹ ye shall say²⁰³⁶ unto this⁵¹²⁹ mountain,³⁷³⁵ Be thou removed,¹⁴² and²⁵³² be thou cast⁹⁰⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea;²²⁸¹ it shall be done.¹⁰⁹⁶

22  And²⁵³² all things,³⁹⁵⁶ whatsoever^{3745 302} ye shall ask¹⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² prayer,⁴³³⁵ believing,⁴¹⁰⁰ ye shall receive.²⁹⁸³

23  And²⁵³² when he⁸⁴⁶ was come²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,²⁴¹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² came⁴³³⁴ unto him⁸⁴⁶ as he was teaching,¹³²¹ and said,³⁰⁰⁴ By¹⁷²² what⁴¹⁶⁹ authority¹⁸⁴⁹ doest⁴¹⁶⁰ thou these things?⁵⁰²³ and²⁵³² who⁵¹⁰¹ gave¹³²⁵ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ this⁵⁰²⁶ authority?¹⁸⁴⁹

24  And¹¹⁶¹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ answered⁶¹¹ and said²⁰³⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ I also²⁵⁰⁴ will ask²⁰⁶⁵ you⁵²⁰⁹ one¹⁵²⁰ thing,³⁰⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ if¹⁴³⁷ ye tell²⁰³⁶ me,³⁴²⁷ I in likewise²⁵⁰⁴ will tell²⁰⁴⁶ you⁵²¹³ by¹⁷²² what⁴¹⁶⁹ authority¹⁸⁴⁹ I do⁴¹⁶⁰ these things.⁵⁰²³

25  The³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ of John,²⁴⁹¹ whence⁴¹⁵⁹ was²²⁵⁸ it? from¹⁵³⁷ heaven,³⁷⁷² or²²²⁸ of¹⁵³⁷ men? And^{444 1161} they³⁵⁸⁸ reasoned¹²⁶⁰ with³⁸⁴⁴ themselves,¹⁴³⁸ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ If¹⁴³⁷ we shall say,²⁰³⁶ From¹⁵³⁷ heaven;³⁷⁷² he will say²⁰⁴⁶ unto us,²²⁵⁴ Why¹³⁰² did ye not³⁷⁵⁶ then³⁷⁶⁷ believe⁴¹⁰⁰ him?⁸⁴⁶

26  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ we shall say,²⁰³⁶ Of¹⁵³⁷ men;⁴⁴⁴ we fear⁵³⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ people;³⁷⁹³ for¹⁰⁶³ all³⁹⁵⁶ hold²¹⁹² John²⁴⁹¹ as⁵⁶¹³ a prophet.⁴³⁹⁶

27  And²⁵³² they answered⁶¹¹ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and said,²⁰³⁶ We cannot tell.^{1492 3756} And²⁵³² he⁸⁴⁶ said⁵³⁴⁶ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Neither³⁷⁶¹ tell³⁰⁰⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ you⁵²¹³ by¹⁷²² what⁴¹⁶⁹ authority¹⁸⁴⁹ I do⁴¹⁶⁰ these things.⁵⁰²³

28  But¹¹⁶¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ think¹³⁸⁰ ye?⁵²¹³ A certain man⁴⁴⁴ had²¹⁹² two¹⁴¹⁷ sons;⁵⁰⁴³ and²⁵³² he came⁴³³⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ first,⁴⁴¹³ and said,²⁰³⁶ Son,⁵⁰⁴³ go⁵²¹⁷ work²⁰³⁸ today⁴⁵⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ vineyard.²⁹⁰

29  He³⁵⁸⁸ answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ I will²³⁰⁹ not:³⁷⁵⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ afterward⁵³⁰⁵ he repented,³³³⁸ and went.⁵⁶⁵

30  And²⁵³² he came⁴³³⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ second,¹²⁰⁸ and said²⁰³⁶ likewise.⁵⁶¹⁵ And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ answered⁶¹¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ I¹⁴⁷³ go, sir:²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² went⁵⁶⁵ not.³⁷⁵⁶

31  Whether⁵¹⁰¹ of¹⁵³⁷ them³⁵⁸⁸ twain¹⁴¹⁷ did⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ will²³⁰⁷ of his father? They³⁹⁶² say³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ The³⁵⁸⁸ first.⁴⁴¹³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ That³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ publicans⁵⁰⁵⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ harlots⁴²⁰⁴ go into the kingdom of God before^{4254 1519 3588 932 2316} you.⁵²⁰⁹

32  For¹⁰⁶³ John²⁴⁹¹ came²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² the way³⁵⁹⁸ of righteousness,¹³⁴³ and²⁵³² ye believed⁴¹⁰⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ not;³⁷⁵⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ publicans⁵⁰⁵⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ harlots⁴²⁰⁴ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ him:⁸⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ ye,⁵²¹⁰ when ye had seen¹⁴⁹² it, repented³³³⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ afterward,⁵³⁰⁵ that ye might believe⁴¹⁰⁰ him.⁸⁴⁶

33  Hear¹⁹¹ another²⁴³ parable:³⁸⁵⁰ There was²²⁵⁸ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ householder,³⁶¹⁷ which³⁷⁴⁸ planted⁵⁴⁵² a vineyard,²⁹⁰ and²⁵³² hedged it round about,^{4060 846 5418} and²⁵³² digged³⁷³⁶ a winepress³⁰²⁵ in¹⁷²² it,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² built³⁶¹⁸ a tower,⁴⁴⁴⁴ and²⁵³² let it out^{1554 846} to husbandmen,¹⁰⁹² and²⁵³² went into a far country:⁵⁸⁹

34  And¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ time²⁵⁴⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ fruit²⁵⁹⁰ drew near,¹⁴⁴⁸ he sent⁶⁴⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ servants¹⁴⁰¹ to⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ husbandmen,¹⁰⁹² that they might receive²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ fruits²⁵⁹⁰ of it.⁸⁴⁶

35  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ husbandmen¹⁰⁹² took²⁹⁸³ his⁸⁴⁶ servants,¹⁴⁰¹ and beat¹¹⁹⁴ one,^{3739 3303} and¹¹⁶¹ killed⁶¹⁵ another,³⁷³⁹ and¹¹⁶¹ stoned³⁰³⁶ another.³⁷³⁹

36  Again,³⁸²⁵ he sent⁶⁴⁹ other²⁴³ servants¹⁴⁰¹ more⁴¹¹⁹ than the³⁵⁸⁸ first:⁴⁴¹³ and²⁵³² they did⁴¹⁶⁰ unto them⁸⁴⁶ likewise.⁵⁶¹⁵

37  But¹¹⁶¹ last⁵³⁰⁵ of all he sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ son,⁵²⁰⁷ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ They will reverence¹⁷⁸⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ son.⁵²⁰⁷

38  But¹¹⁶¹ when the³⁵⁸⁸ husbandmen¹⁰⁹² saw¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ son,⁵²⁰⁷ they said²⁰³⁶ among¹⁷²² themselves,¹⁴³⁸ This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ heir;²⁸¹⁸ come,¹²⁰⁵ let us kill⁶¹⁵ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² let us seize on²⁷²² his⁸⁴⁶ inheritance.²⁸¹⁷

39  And²⁵³² they caught²⁹⁸³ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² cast¹⁵⁴⁴ him out¹⁸⁵⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ vineyard,²⁹⁰ and²⁵³² slew⁶¹⁵ him.

40  When³⁷⁵² the³⁵⁸⁸ lord²⁹⁶² therefore³⁷⁶⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ vineyard²⁹⁰ cometh,²⁰⁶⁴ what⁵¹⁰¹ will he do⁴¹⁶⁰ unto those¹⁵⁶⁵ husbandmen?¹⁰⁹²

41  They say³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ He will miserably²⁵⁶⁰ destroy⁶²² those⁸⁴⁶ wicked men,²⁵⁵⁶ and²⁵³² will let out¹⁵⁵⁴ his vineyard²⁹⁰ unto other²⁴³ husbandmen,¹⁰⁹² which³⁷⁴⁸ shall render⁵⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ fruits²⁵⁹⁰ in¹⁷²² their⁸⁴⁶ seasons.²⁵⁴⁰

42  Jesus²⁴²⁴ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto them,⁸⁴⁶ Did ye never³⁷⁶³ read³¹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ Scriptures,¹¹²⁴ The stone³⁰³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ builders³⁶¹⁸ rejected,⁵⁹³ the same³⁷⁷⁸ is become¹⁰⁹⁶ the¹⁵¹⁹ head²⁷⁷⁶ of the corner:¹¹³⁷ this³⁷⁷⁸ is¹⁰⁹⁶ the Lord's doing,^{3844 2962} and²⁵³² it is²⁰⁷⁶ marvelous²²⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ eyes?³⁷⁸⁸

43  Therefore^{1223 5124} say³⁰⁰⁴ I unto you,⁵²¹³ The³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God²³¹⁶ shall be taken¹⁴² from⁵⁷⁵ you,⁵²¹⁶ and²⁵³² given¹³²⁵ to a nation¹⁴⁸⁴ bringing forth⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ fruits²⁵⁹⁰ thereof.⁸⁴⁶

44  And²⁵³² whosoever shall fall⁴⁰⁹⁸ on¹⁹⁰⁹ this⁵¹²⁶ stone³⁰³⁷ shall be broken:⁴⁹¹⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ whomsoever^{3739 302} it shall fall,⁴⁰⁹⁸ it will grind him to powder.^{3039 846}

45  And²⁵³² when the³⁵⁸⁸ chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Pharisees⁵³³⁰ had heard¹⁹¹ his⁸⁴⁶ parables,³⁸⁵⁰ they perceived¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ he spake³⁰⁰⁴ of⁴⁰¹² them.⁸⁴⁶

46  But²⁵³² when they sought²²¹² to lay hands²⁹⁰² on him,⁸⁴⁶ they feared⁵³⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude,³⁷⁹³ because¹⁸⁹⁴ they took²¹⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ for⁵⁶¹³ a prophet.⁴³⁹⁶

Vul

1 Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,

2 dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:

3 et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.

4 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:

5 [Dicite filiæ Sion:
Ecce rex tuus venit tibi
mansuetus, sedens super asinam,
et pullum filium subjugalis.]

6 Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Jesus.

7 Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.

8 Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem cædebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:

9 turbæ autem, quæ præcedebant, et quæ sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.

10 Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?

11 Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.

12 Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:

13 et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.

14 Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.

15 Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ mirabilia quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,

16 et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?

17 Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.

18 Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.

19 Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea.

20 Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?

21 Respondens autem Jesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non hæsitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis: Tolle, et jacta te in mare, fiet.

22 Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.

23 Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate hæc facis? et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?

24 Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.

25 Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:

26 Si dixerimus, e cælo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Joannem sicut prophetam.

27 Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.

28 Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.

29 Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.

30 Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit:

31 quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Jesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei.

32 Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei: publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.

33 Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.

34 Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.

35 Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.

36 Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.

37 Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.

38 Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus.

39 Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.

40 Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?

41 Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.

42 Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: [Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes,
hic factus est in caput anguli:
a Domino factum est istud,
et est mirabile in oculis nostris?]

43 Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.

44 Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.

45 Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.

46 Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
