Mattityahu 21
21
1When they came near to Yerushalayim and arrived at Beit-Pagey on the Mount of Olives, then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent two talmidim,
2saying to them, Go into the shtetl ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey having been tied and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me.
3And if anyone should say to you anything, you say, HaAdon has need of them. And he will send them immediately.
4And this took place in order that might be fulfilled the thing spoken by the Navi (Prophet), saying:
5IMRU LBAT TZIYON! (Tell the Daughter of Zion!) Hinei! Your Melech comes, ANI VROCHEV AL CHAMOR VAL AYIR BEN ATONOT#21:5 Isa 62:11; Zech 9:9 (poor, humble and riding on a donkey and upon a colt, the foal of donkeys).
6And having accomplished just what Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had commanded them,
7they brought the donkey and the colt and they put their garments upon them, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sat upon them.
8And the very large multitudes spread out their garments on the road, and others were cutting lulavim from the trees, and were spreading them out on the road.
9And the multitudes going before him and the multitudes following after him were crying out, saying, HOSHAN NAH#21:9 Ps 118:25-26 (Save now) to Ben Dovid! BARUCH HABAH B'SHEM ADONOI! Hoshannah in the Highest!
10And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had entered into Yerushalayim, the whole city was stirred, saying, Who is this!?!
11And the multitudes were saying, This is Yehoshua HaNavi! From Natzeret in the Galil.
12And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach arrived at the Beis Hamikdash and expelled the ones selling and buying in the Beis Hamikdash. And he turned over the tishen (tables) of the machalifei hakesafim (money changers) and the chairs of those selling the yonim (doves).
13And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI#21:13 Isa 56:7 (My House shall be called a House of Prayer), but you are making it into a MEARAT PARITZIM#21:13 Jer 7:11 (den of robbers).
14And ivrim (blind persons) and pisechim (lame persons) came to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Beis Hamikdash, and he brought refuah to them.
15And the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were indignant, having seen the niflaot (wonders) which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach accomplished and the yeladim shouting in the Beis Hamikdash, Hoshannah to the Ben Dovid.#21:15 Moshiach
16And they said to Moshiach, Do you hear what these are saying? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Ken. Have you never read, MIPI OLLELIM VYONKIM YISSADETAH OZ#21:16 Ps 8:2 [3] (From the lips of children and infants You ordained strength, praise)?
17And having left them, he went out of the city to Beit-Anyah (Bethany) and spent the night there.
18Now going up early into the city, he was hungry.
19And observing the etz teenah (fig tree) on the way, he went up to it and found nothing on it, except leaves, and he says to it, No longer from you will there ever be pri (fruit)! And the etz teenah withered then and there.
20And observing this, the talmidim were astounded, saying, How did the etz teenah instantly wither?
21And he said in reply, Omein, I say to you, if you have emunah and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the etz teenah, but also if you say to this mountain, Be lifted up and be thrown into the sea, it will happen.
22And, when you daven, all things whatever for which you may make techinnah (petition, supplication) with emunah, you will receive.
23And after Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had gone into the Beis Hamikdash, while he was bringing forth his torah, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim of the people approached him, saying, By what samchut (authority) do you do these things? And who granted you this samchut?
24And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply to them, I also will ask you a question, which, if you will tell me, I also will tell you by what samchut I do these things…
25The tevilah in the mikveh mayim of Yochanan, it was from where, from Shomayim or from Bnei Adam? And they were discussing it among themselves, saying, If we say, From Shomayim, he will say to us, Why then do you not believe him?
26But if we say, From Bnei Adam, we fear the multitude, for everyone considers Yochanan a Navi.
27And in reply to him, they said, We do not have daas. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Neither will I tell you by what samchut I do these things.
28What do you think? A man had two banim (sons). And having approached the rishon (first), the man said, Beni (my son), go today and work in the kerem (vineyard).
29But the first son said in reply, I will not. But later, having changed his mind, he went.
30And having approached the other son, the man spoke similarly. But the second son, in reply, said, I will go, Adoni. Yet he did not go.
31Which of the two did the ratzon haAv (the will of the Father)? They say, The rishon (the first). Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Omein, I say to you, that the mochesim (tax-collectors) and the zonot (prostitutes) are going in ahead of you into the Malchut Hashem.
32For Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva came to you in the Derech Tzidkat Hashem (Way of Righteousness), and you did not believe him. But the mochesim and the zonot believed him. But you, even after you saw, did not change your mind#21:32 i.e., make teshuva and believe him.
33Listen to another mashal. There was a man, a Baal Bayit, who planted a kerem (vineyard). And he put a fence around it, and he dug a yekev (winepress) in it, and built a migdal (tower) and leased it to koremim (vine-keepers) and departed.
34And when the time of the Katsir (Harvest) came, the Baal Bayit sent his servants to the koremim to receive the pri (fruit).
35And the koremim, having seized his servants, one they beat, another they killed, and another they stoned.
36And the Baal Bayit sent other servants, more than the rishonim (first ones), and the koremim did the same thing to them.
37Lemaskana (finally, at last), the Baal Bayit sent to the koremim his Ben, saying, They will respect my Ben.
38And when the koremim saw the Ben, they said among themselves, This is the Bechor (Firstborn), the Yoresh (Heir). Come, let us kill him and let us take possession of his bechorah (inheritance).
39And having seized the Ben, they threw the Ben out of the kerem and they killed him.
40Therefore, when the Baal HaKerem (Owner of the Vineyard) comes, what will he do to those koremim (vine keepers)?
41They say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Those resha'im (evil-doers) the Baal HaKerem will bring to a terrible mavet, and the Kerem the Baal HaKerem will lease to other koremim, who will render unto the Baal HaKerem the PRI BITO#21:41 Ps 1:3 (fruit in its season).
42Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Have you never heard in the Kitvei Hakodesh (Holy Scriptures), EVEN MAASU HABONIM HAYTAH LEROSH PINAH; MEIES HASHEM HAYTAH ZOT HI NIFLAT BEINEINU#21:42 Ps 118:22-23 (The Stone which the Builders rejected, this one has become Head of the Corner; this came about from the L-rd, and it is marvelous in our eyes)?
43For this reason, I say to you, the Malchut Hashem will be taken from you and it will be given to a people that produces its pri.
44And the one having fallen on this EVEN#21:44 Dan 2:35; Isa 8:14-15 (Stone)#21:44 Moshiach will be crushed; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.
45And having heard Moshiachʼs mashal, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Perushim understood that he spoke about them.
46And seeking to arrest him, they were afraid of the multitudes, vi-bahlt (since) the multitudes considered him a Navi.

Matthew 21
21
CHAPTER 21
1And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at [or to] the mount of Olives, then sent he his two disciples [or then Jesus sent his two disciples],
2and said to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you, and anon ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie ye, and bring to me.
3And if any man say to you anything, say ye, that the Lord hath need to them; and anon he shall leave them.
4All this was done, that that thing should be fulfilled, that was said by the prophet, saying,
5Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy king cometh to thee, meek, sitting on an ass, and a foal [or a colt] of an ass under yoke.
6And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded [to] them.
7And they brought an ass, and the foal [or the colt], and laid their clothes on them, and made him [to] sit above.
8And full much people spreaded their clothes in the way; others cutted branches of trees, and strewed in the way.
9And the people that went before, and that pursued, cried, and said, Hosanna to the son of David; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in high things [or in the highest things].
10And when he was entered into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, and said, Who is this?
11But the people said, This is Jesus, the prophet, of Nazareth of Galilee.
12And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out of the temple all that bought and sold; and he turned upside-down the boards of changers, and the chairs of men that sold culvers.
13And he said to them, It is written, Mine house shall be called an house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14And blind and crooked came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15But the princes of priests, and the scribes, seeing the marvelous [or the wonderful] things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they had indignation [or disdain],
16and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yea; whether ye have never read, That of the mouth of young children, and of suckling children, thou hast made perfect praising?
17And when he had left them, he went forth out of the city, into Bethany; and there he dwelt, and taught them of the kingdom of God.
18But on the morrow, he, turning again into the city, hungered.
19And he saw a fig tree beside the way, and came to it, and found nothing therein [or thereon], but leaves only. And he said to it, Never fruit come forth of thee [or Never be fruit born of thee], into without end. And anon the fig tree was dried up.
20And the disciples saw, and wondered, saying, How anon it dried [or How it dried up anon].
21And Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, not only ye shall do of the fig tree, but also if ye say to this hill, Take [away thee], and cast thee into the sea, it shall be done so [or it shall be done].
22And all things whatever ye believing shall ask in prayer, ye shall take.
23And when he came into the temple, the princes of priests, and elder men of the people, came to him that taught, and said, In what power doest thou these things? and who gave [to] thee this power?
24Jesus answered, and said to them, And I shall ask you one word, the which if ye tell me, I shall say to you, in what power I do these things.
25Of whence was the baptism of John; of heaven, or of men? And they thought within themselves, saying, If we say of heaven, he shall say to us, Why then believe ye not to him?
26If we say of men, we dread the people, for all had John as a prophet.
27And they answered to Jesus, and said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither I say to you, in what power I do these things.
28But what seemeth to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work this day in my vineyard.
29And he answered, and said, I will not; but afterward he repented [or stirred by penance], and went forth.
30But he came to the other, and said in like manner. And he answered, and said, Lord, I go; and he went not.
31Who of the twain did the father’s will? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Truly I say to you, for publicans and whores shall go before you into the kingdom of God.
32For John came to you in the way of rightwiseness, and ye believed not to him; but publicans and whores believed to him. But ye saw, and had no repenting after [or had not penance afterward], that ye believed to him.
33Hear ye another parable. There was an husbandman, that planted a vineyard, and hedged it about, and delved a presser therein, and builded a tower, and hired it to earth-tillers, and went far in pilgrimage.
34And when the time of fruits nighed, he sent his servants to the earth-tillers, to take fruits of it.
35And the earth-tillers took his servants, and they beat one, they slew another, and stoned another.
36Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and in like manner they did to them [or and they did to them in like manner].
37And at the last he sent his son to them, and said, They shall dread my son.
38But the earth-tillers, seeing the son, said within themselves, This is the heir; come ye, slay we him, and we shall have his heritage.
39And they took him, and casted him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40Therefore when the lord of the vineyard shall come, what shall he do to those earth-tillers?
41They say to him, He shall lose evil, the evil men, and he shall set to hire his vineyard to other earth-tillers, which shall yield to him fruit in their times.
42Jesus saith to them, Read ye never in scriptures, The stone which the builders reproved, this is made into the head of the corner? Of the Lord this thing is done, and it is marvelous [or wonderful] in our eyes.
43Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and [it] shall be given to a folk doing [the] fruits of it.
44And he that shall fall on this stone, shall be broken; but on whom it shall fall, it shall bruise him [or it shall pound him] all to pieces.
45And when the princes of priests, and [the] Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he said of them.
46And they sought to hold him, but they dreaded the people, for they had him as a prophet.
