Matthew 21

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

2 Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

4 Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

5 Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

7 And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.

8 And all the people put their clothing down in the way; and others got branches from the trees, and put them down in the way.

9 And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

10 And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

11 And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

12 And Jesus went into the Temple and sent out all who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those trading in doves.

13 And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.

14 And the blind and the broken in body came to him in the Temple, and he made them well.

15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,

16 Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?

17 And he went away from them, and went out of the town to Bethany, and was there for the night.

18 Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.

19 And seeing a fig-tree by the wayside, he came to it, and saw nothing on it but leaves only; and he said to it, Let there be no fruit from you from this time forward for ever. And straight away the fig-tree became dry and dead.

20 And when the disciples saw it they were surprised, saying, How did the fig-tree become dry in so short a time?

21 And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.

22 And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.

23 And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

24 And Jesus said to them in answer, I will put one question to you, and if you give me the answer, I will say by what authority I do these things.

25 The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?

26 But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

27 And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

28 But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.

29 And he said in answer, I will not: but later, changing his decision, he went.

30 And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not.

31 Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.

32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

33 Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

34 And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.

35 And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.

36 Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.

37 But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.

38 But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

39 And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

40 When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?

41 They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

42 Jesus says to them, Did you never see in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has been made the chief stone of the building: this was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

43 For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

44 Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

45 And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

46 And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

1 1 When they came near to Yerushalayim and arrived at Beit-Pagey on the Mount of Olives, then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent two talmidim,

2 saying 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.

3 And if anyone should say to you anything, you say, HaAdon has need of them. And he will send them immediately.

4 And this took place in order that might be fulfilled the thing spoken by the Navi (Prophet), saying:

5 IMRU LBAT TZIYON! (Tell the Daughter of Zion!) Hinei! Your Melech comes, ANI VROCHEV AL CHAMOR VAL AYIR BEN ATONOT (poor, humble and riding on a donkey and upon a colt, the foal of donkeys YESHAYAH 62:11; ZECHARYAH 9:9).

6 And having accomplished just what Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had commanded them,

7 they brought the donkey and the colt and they put their garments upon them, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sat upon them.

8 And 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.

9 And the multitudes going before him and the multitudes following after him were crying out, saying, HOSHAN NAH (Save now, TEHILLIM 118:25-26) to Ben Dovid! BARUCH HABAH BSHEM ADONOI! Hoshannah in the Highest!

10 And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had entered into Yerushalayim, the whole city was stirred, saying, Who is this!?!

11 And the multitudes were saying, This is Yehoshua HaNavi! From Natzeret in the Galil.

12 And 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).

13 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI (My House shall be called a House of Prayer, YESHAYAH 56:7), but you are making it into a MEARAT PARITZIM (den of robbers, YIRMEYAH 7:11).

14 And ivrim (blind persons) and pisechim (lame persons) came to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Beis Hamikdash, and he brought refuah to them.

15 And 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 [Moshiach].

16 And 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 (From the lips of children and infants You ordained strength, praise, TEHILLIM 8:3[2])?

17 And having left them, he went out of the city to Beit-Anyah (Bethany) and spent the night there.

18 Now going up early into the city, he was hungry.

19 And 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.

20 And observing this, the talmidim were astounded, saying, How did the etz teenah instantly wither?

21 And 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.

22 And, when you daven, all things whatever for which you may make techinnah (petition, supplication) with emunah, you will receive.

23 And 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?

24 And 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...

25 The 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?

26 But if we say, From Bnei Adam, we fear the multitude, for everyone considers Yochanan a Navi.

27 And 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.

28 What 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).

29 But the first son said in reply, I will not. But later, having changed his mind, he went.

30 And 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.

31 Which 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.

32 For 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 [i.e., make teshuva] and believe him.

33 Listen 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 (vinekeepers) and departed.

34 And when the time of the Katsir (Harvest) came, the Baal Bayit sent his servants to the koremim to receive the pri (fruit).

35 And the koremim, having seized his servants, one they beat, another they killed, and another they stoned.

36 And the Baal Bayit sent other servants, more than the rishonim (first ones), and the koremim did the same thing to them.

37 Lemaskana (finally, at last), the Baal Bayit sent to the koremim his Ben, saying, They will respect my Ben.

38 And 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).

39 And having seized the Ben, they threw the Ben out of the kerem and they killed him.

40 Therefore, when the Baal HaKerem (Owner of the Vineyard) comes, what will he do to those koremim (vine keepers)?

41 They say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Those reshaim (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 (fruit in its season, TEHILLIM 1:3).

42 Rebbe, 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 (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, TEHILLIM 118:22-23)?

43 For 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.

44 And the one having fallen on this EVEN (Stone, [Moshiach] DANIEL 2:35; YESHAYAH 8:14-15) will be crushed; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.

45 And having heard Moshiach’s mashal, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Perushim understood that he spoke about them.

46 And seeking to arrest him, they were afraid of the multitudes, vi-bahlt (since) the multitudes considered him a Navi.
