Matthew 21

21 And when they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and [immediately][fn] you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3 And if anyone says to you {anything},[fn] you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

4 Now [[all]][fn] this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion: Behold, your king comes to you, gentle and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”[fn]

6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them, 7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid [their][fn] garments on them, and he sat on them. 8 But the majority of the crowd spread their own garments on the road, others were cutting branches [from the trees][fn] and spreading them on the road.

9 And the crowds that went before [him][fn] and that followed him were crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”[fn]

10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?”

11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet [Jesus],[fn] from Nazareth of Galilee.”

12 And Jesus entered the temple [[of God]][fn] and drove out those who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. 13 And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’[fn] but {you make it}[fn] a den of robbers.”[fn] 14 And the blind and the lame 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}[fn] did, and the children crying out in the temple, “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 [that],[fn] “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise?’ ”[fn]

17 And leaving them, he went [out of the city][fn] to Bethany and lodged [there].[fn]

18 In the morning, returning to the city, he became hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again into the age.”[fn] And the fig tree withered immediately. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither immediately?”

21 Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

23 And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people approached him as he was teaching, saying, “By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?” 24 [But][fn] Jesus answered and said to them, “I will also ask you one question, [which][fn] 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?” And they {reasoned among themselves},[fn] saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why [then][fn] did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the crowd, for they all hold John as a prophet.”

27 And they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” And {he}[fn] said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

28 “What do you think? A man had two children. [And][fn] Coming to the first, he said, Child, go today and work in {the}[fn] vineyard. 29 But he answered and said, ‘I do not want to,’ but later, having regretted it, he went [[to the vineyard]].[fn] 30 {But}[fn] {coming to the other},[fn] he said likewise. [But he answered and said],[fn] ‘I will, sir,’ and did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say [[to him]],[fn] “the first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going {first}[fn] of you into the kingdom of God. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and you, seeing this, did not even regret it later to believe him.

33 “Listen to another parable. There was a [[certain]][fn] man, a master of the house, who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to vine-growers and went on a journey. 34 When the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-growers to receive his fruits. 35 The vine-growers took his servants, one they beat, one they killed, one they stoned. 36 [[Therefore]][fn] Again, he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them. 37 Later, he sent his son [to them],[fn] saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38 “But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and {obtain}[fn] his inheritance.’ 39 Taking him, they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?” 41 They said to him, “He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and he will lease his vineyard to other vine-growers, who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”

42 Jesus says to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?[fn]

43 “Therefore I say to you [that][fn] the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing its fruits. 44 [[And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will crush them.]]”[fn]

45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them; 46 and seeking to seize him, they feared the crowds, since they held him to be a prophet.
