Matthew 21 - Interlinear Bible
The Triumphal Entry
2
saying to them,
"Go into the
village opposite you, and
immediately you will
find a
donkey tied there and a
colt with her;
untie them and
bring them to Me.
3
"If anyone says anything to you, you shall
say, 'The
Lord has need of them,' and
immediately he will
send them."
5
"
SAY TO THE
DAUGHTER OF
ZION,
'BEHOLD YOUR
KING IS
COMING TO YOU,
GENTLE, AND
MOUNTED ON A
DONKEY,
EVEN ON A
COLT, THE
FOAL OF A
BEAST OF
BURDEN.' "
7
and
brought the
donkey and the
colt, and
laid their
coats on them; and He
sat on the
coats.
8
Most of the
crowd spread their
coats in the
road, and
others were
cutting branches from the
trees and
spreading them in the
road.
9
The
crowds going ahead of Him, and
those who
followed, were
shouting,
"Hosanna to the
Son of
David ;
BLESSED IS HE WHO
COMES IN THE
NAME OF THE
LORD ;
Hosanna in the
highest !"
Cleansing the Temple
13
And He
said to them, "It is
written, ' MY
HOUSE SHALL BE
CALLED A
HOUSE OF
PRAYER '; but you are
making it a
ROBBERS' DEN."
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 had
done, and the
children who were
shouting in the
temple,
"Hosanna to the
Son of
David," they became
indignant
16
and
said to Him, "Do You
hear what these children are
saying ?" And
Jesus said to them,
"Yes ; have you
never read, ' OUT OF THE
MOUTH OF
INFANTS AND
NURSING BABIES YOU HAVE
PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF'?"
17
And He
left them and
went out of the
city to
Bethany, and
spent the
night there.
The Barren Fig Tree
18
Now in the
morning, when He was
returning to the
city, He became
hungry.
19
Seeing a
lone fig tree by the
road, He
came to it and
found nothing on it
except leaves only ; and He
said to it,
"No longer shall there
ever * be any
fruit from you." And at
once the
fig tree withered.
20
Seeing this, the
disciples were
amazed and
asked,
"How did the
fig tree wither all at
once ?"
21
And
Jesus answered and
said to them,
"Truly I
say to you,
if you
have faith and do not
doubt, you will not
only do what was done to the
fig tree, but
even if you
say to
this mountain, 'Be
taken up and
cast into the
sea,' it will
happen.
Authority Challenged
23
When He
entered the
temple, the
chief priests and the
elders of the
people came to Him while He was
teaching, and
said, "By
what authority are You
doing these things, and
who gave You
this authority ?"
25
"The
baptism of
John was from
what source, from
heaven or from
men ?" And they began
reasoning among themselves,
saying,
"If we
say, 'From
heaven,' He will
say to us,
'Then why * did you not
believe him?'
26
"But
if we
say, 'From
men,' we
fear the
people ; for they
all regard John as a
prophet."
27
And
answering Jesus, they
said, "We do not
know." He
also said to them,
"Neither will I
tell you by
what authority I
do these things.
Parable of 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 the
vineyard.'
29
"And he
answered, 'I will not'; but
afterward he
regretted it and
went.
30
"The man
came to the
second and
said the
same thing ; and he
answered, 'I
will,
sir '; but he did not
go.
31
"Which of the
two did the
will of his
father ?" They
said, "The
first."
Jesus said to them,
"Truly I
say to you that the
tax collectors and
prostitutes will
get into the
kingdom of
God before you.
32
"For
John came to you in the
way of
righteousness and you did not
believe him; but the
tax collectors and
prostitutes did
believe him; and you,
seeing this, did not
even feel remorse afterward so as to
believe him.
Parable of the Landowner
36
"Again he
sent another group of
slaves larger than the
first ; and they
did the
same thing to them.
37
"But
afterward he
sent his
son to them,
saying, 'They will
respect my
son.'
38
"But when the
vine-growers saw the
son, they
said among themselves,
'This is the
heir ;
come, let us
kill him and
seize his
inheritance.'
39
"They
took him, and
threw him out of the
vineyard and
killed him.
41
They
said to Him, "He will
bring those wretches to a
wretched end, and will
rent out the
vineyard to
other vine-growers who will
pay him the
proceeds at the proper
seasons."
42
Jesus said to them, "Did you
never read in the
Scriptures, ' THE
STONE WHICH THE
BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS BECAME THE
CHIEF CORNER stone;
THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE
LORD, AND IT IS
MARVELOUS IN OUR
EYES '?
43
"Therefore * I
say to you, the
kingdom of
God will be
taken away from you and
given to a
people,
producing the
fruit of it.
44
"And he who
falls on
this stone will be
broken to
pieces ; but on
whomever * it
falls, it will
scatter him
like dust."
46
When they
sought to
seize Him, they
feared the
people,
because they
considered Him to be a
prophet.
