Matthew 21 — OURB
21Verse 1++When they came near to Jerusalem [City of peace] (at the beginning of the first month ofNissan ·Miracles (in Aramaic), 1·), and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua [Salvation] sent two disciples,Verse 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.Verse 3If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”Verse 4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,Verse 5“Tell the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking],behold, your King comes to you,
humble, and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”+Verse 6The disciples went, and did just as Yeshua [Salvation] commanded them,Verse 7and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.Verse 8++A very great multitude carpeted the road with their clothing, while others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.Verse 9+The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “ Hosanna ·Save now· to the son of David [Beloved]! Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]! Hosanna ·Save now·+in the highest!”Verse 10When he had come into Jerusalem [City of peace], all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”Verse 11The multitudes said, “This is the prophet (promised Messiah), Yeshua [Salvation], from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one] of Galilee [District, Circuit].”Verse 12+++Yeshua [Salvation] 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.Verse 13He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’++but you are making it a den of robbers!”+Verse 14The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.Verse 15+But when the chief priests and the Torah-Teachers saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “ Hosanna ·Save now·+to the son of David [Beloved]!” they were indignant,Verse 16and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have+perfected praise?’”Verse 17He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany [House of affliction], and camped there.Verse 18Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.Verse 19Seeing 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.Verse 20When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”Verse 21Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have trusting 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.Verse 22All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”Verse 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?”Verse 24Yeshua [Salvation] 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.Verse 25The mikvah ·ritual washing baptism· of John [Yah is gracious], 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 trust him?’Verse 26But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John [Yah is gracious] as a prophet.”Verse 27They answered Yeshua [Salvation], and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.Verse 28But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’Verse 29He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he had remorse ·to care afterwards, regret into repent·, changed his mind, and went.Verse 30He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.Verse 31Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.Verse 32For John [Yah is gracious] came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t trust him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes trusted him. When you saw it, you didn’t even have remorse ·to care afterwards, regret into repent· or teshuvah ·turn repent· afterward, that you might trust him.Verse 33“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a wall about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower,+leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.Verse 34When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.Verse 35The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.Verse 36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.Verse 37But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’Verse 38But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’Verse 39So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.Verse 40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”Verse 41They 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.”Verse 42++Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,‘The stone which the builders rejected,the same was made the head of the corner.This was from Adonai .It is marvelous in our eyes?’+Verse 43+“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.Verse 44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces,+but if it falls on him, he will crushed to dust.”+Verse 45When the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.Verse 46When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
