NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Matthew 21

The Triumphal Entry

1

 aWheng3753 they had approachedg1448 Jerusalemg2414 and had comeg2064 to Bethphageg967, at  bthe Mountg3735 of Olivesg1636, theng5119 Jesusg2424 sentg649 twog1417 disciplesg3101,

2

sayingg3004 to them, "Gog4198 into the villageg2968 oppositeg2713 you, and immediatelyg2117 you will findg2147 a donkeyg3688 tiedg1210 there and a coltg4454 with her; untieg3089 them and bringg71 them to Me.

3

"Ifg1437 anyoneg5100 saysg3004 anythingg5100 to you, you shall sayg3004, `The Lordg2962 hasg2192 needg5532 of them,' and immediatelyg2117 he will sendg649 them."

4

 aThisg3778  1tookg1096 placeg1096 to fulfillg4137 whatg3588 was spokeng3004 throughg1223 the prophetg4396:

5

aSAYg3004 TO THE DAUGHTERg2364 OF ZIONg4622, `BEHOLDg2400 YOUR KINGg935 IS COMINGg2064 TO YOU, GENTLEg4239b, AND MOUNTEDg1910 ON A DONKEYg3688, EVENg2532 ON A COLTg4454, THE FOALg5207 OF A BEASTg5268 OF BURDENg5268.' "

6

The disciplesg3101 wentg4198 and didg4160 justg2531a as Jesusg2424 had instructedg4929 them,

7

and broughtg71 the donkeyg3688 and the coltg4454, and laidg2007 their coatsg2440 on them; and He satg1940 on  1the coatsg2440.

8

Mostg4183 of the crowdg3793  aspreadg4766 their coatsg2440 in the roadg3598, and othersg243 were cuttingg2875 branchesg2798 from the treesg1186 and spreadingg4766 them in the roadg3598.

9

The crowdsg3793 goingg4254 aheadg4254 of Him, and thoseg3588 who followedg190, were shoutingg2896, "Hosannag5614 to the  aSong5207 of Davidg1160b;  bBLESSEDg2127 IS HE WHO COMESg2064 IN THE NAMEg3686 OF THE LORDg2962; Hosannag5614  cin the highestg5310!"

10

When He had enteredg1525 Jerusalemg2414, allg3956 the cityg4172 was stirredg4579, sayingg3004, "Whog5101 is thisg3778?"

11

And the crowdsg3793 were sayingg3004, "Thisg3778 is  athe prophetg4396 Jesusg2424, from  bNazarethg3478 in Galileeg1056."

Cleansing the Temple

12

 aAnd Jesusg2424 enteredg1525 the templeg2413 and droveg1544b out allg3956 thoseg3588 who were buyingg59 and sellingg4453 in the templeg2413, and overturnedg2690 the tablesg5132 of the  bmoneyg2855a changersg2855a and the seatsg2515 of thoseg3588 who were sellingg4453  cdovesg4058.

13

And He *saidg3004 to them, "It is writteng1125, ` aMY HOUSEg3624 SHALL BE CALLEDg2564 A HOUSEg3624 OF PRAYERg4335'; but you are makingg4160 it a  bROBBERS'g3027  1DENg4693."

14

And the blindg5185 and the lameg5560 cameg4334 to Him in the templeg2413, and  aHe healedg2323 them.

15

But when the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the scribesg1122 sawg3708 the wonderfulg2297 thingsg2297 that He had doneg4160, and the childreng3816 who were shoutingg2896 in the templeg2413, "Hosannag5614 to the  aSong5207 of Davidg1160b," they became indignantg23

16

and saidg3004 to Him, "Do You hearg191 whatg5101 theseg3778 children are sayingg3004?" And Jesusg2424 *saidg3004 to them, "Yesg3483a; have you neverg3763 readg314, ` aOUT OF THE MOUTHg4750 OF INFANTSg3516 AND NURSINGg2337 BABIESg2337 YOU HAVE PREPAREDg2675 PRAISEg136 FOR YOURSELF'?"

17

And He leftg2641 them and wentg1831 out of the cityg4172 to  aBethanyg963, and spentg835 the nightg835 thereg1563.

The Barren Fig Tree

18

 aNowg1161 in the morningg4404, when He was returningg1877 to the cityg4172, He became hungryg3983.

19

Seeingg3708 a loneg1520  afigg4808 treeg4808 by the roadg3598, He cameg2064 to it and foundg2147 nothingg3762 on it exceptg1508 leavesg5444 onlyg3440; and He *saidg3004 to it, "Nog3756 longerg3371 shall there everg1519g165 be any fruitg2590 from you." And at onceg3916 the figg4808 treeg4808 witheredg3583.

20

Seeingg3708 this, the disciplesg3101 were amazedg2296 and askedg3004, "Howg4459 did the figg4808 treeg4808 witherg3583 all at onceg3916?"

21

And Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you,  aifg1437 you haveg2192 faithg4102 and do not doubtg1252, you will not onlyg3440 dog4160 whatg3588 was done to the figg4808 treeg4808, but eveng2579 ifg2579 you sayg3004 to thisg3778 mountaing3735, `Be takeng142 up and castg906 into the seag2281,' it will happeng1096.

22

"And  aallg3956 thingsg3956 you askg154 in prayerg4335, believingg4100, you will receiveg2983."

Authority Challenged

23

 aWhen He enteredg2064 the templeg2413, the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the eldersg4245 of the peopleg2992 cameg4334 to Him  bwhile He was teachingg1321, and saidg3004, "By whatg4169 authorityg1849 are You doingg4160 theseg3778 thingsg3778, and whog5101 gaveg1325 You thisg3778 authorityg1849?"

24

Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, "I will alsog2532 askg2065 you oneg1520  1thingg3056, whichg3739 ifg1437 you tellg3004 Me, I will alsog2532 tellg3004 you by whatg4169 authorityg1849 I dog4160 theseg3778 thingsg3778.

25

"The baptismg908 of Johng2491 was from whatg4159 source, from heaveng3772 org2228 from meng444?" And they began reasoningg1260 amongg1722 themselvesg1438, sayingg3004, "Ifg1437 we sayg3004, `From heaveng3772,' He will sayg3004 to us, `Theng3767 whyg1223g5101 did you not believeg4100 him?'

26

"But ifg1437 we sayg3004, `From meng444,' we fearg5399 the  1peopleg3793; for they allg3956 regardg2192 Johng2491 as  aa prophetg4396."

27

And answeringg611 Jesusg2424, they saidg3004, "We do not knowg3609a." He alsog2532 saidg5346 to them, "Neitherg3761 will I tellg3004 you by whatg4169 authorityg1849 I dog4160 theseg3778 thingsg3778.

Parable of Two Sons

28

"But whatg5101 do you thinkg1380? A mang444 hadg2192 twog1417  1sonsg5043, and he cameg4334 to the firstg4413 and saidg3004, ` 2Song5043, gog5217 workg2038b todayg4594 in the  avineyardg290.'

29

"And he answeredg611, `I will not'; but afterwardg5305 he regrettedg3338 it and wentg565.

30

"The man cameg4334 to the secondg1208 and saidg3004 the sameg5615 thingg5615; and he answeredg611, `I willg2309, sirg2962'; but he did not gog565.

31

"Whichg5101 of the twog1417 didg4160 the willg2307 of his fatherg3962?" They *saidg3004, "The firstg4413." Jesusg2424 *saidg3004 to them, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you that  athe taxg5057 collectorsg5057 and prostitutesg4204  1will getg4254 into the kingdomg932 of Godg2316 beforeg4254 you.

32

"For Johng2491 cameg2064 to you in the wayg3598 of righteousnessg1343 and you did not believeg4100 him; but  athe taxg5057 collectorsg5057 and prostitutesg4204 did believeg4100 him; and you, seeingg3708 this, did not eveng3761 feelg3338 remorseg3338 afterwardg5305 so as to believeg4100 him.

Parable of the Landowner

33

"Listeng191 to anotherg243 parableg3850b.  aThere was a  1landownerg3617 whog3748  bPLANTEDg5452 A  cVINEYARDg290 AND PUTg4060 A WALLg5418 AROUNDg4060 IT AND DUGg3736 A WINEg3025b PRESSg3025b IN IT, AND BUILTg3618 A TOWERg4444, and rentedg1554 it out to  2vine-growersg1092 and  dwentg589 on a journeyg589.

34

"Wheng3753 the  1harvestg2590 timeg2540 approachedg1448, he  asentg649 his slavesg1401 to the vine-growersg1092 to receiveg2983 his produceg2590.

35

"The vine-growersg1092 tookg2983 his slavesg1401 and beatg1194 oneg3739, and killedg615 anotherg3739g1161, and stonedg3036 a thirdg3739.

36

"Againg3825 he  asentg649 anotherg243 group of slavesg1401 largerg4183 than the firstg4413; and they didg4160 the sameg5615 thingg5615 to them.

37

"But afterwardg5305 he sentg649 his song5207 to them, sayingg3004, `They will respectg1788 my song5207.'

38

"But when the vine-growersg1092 sawg3708 the song5207, they saidg3004 amongg1722 themselvesg1438, `Thisg3778 is the heirg2818; comeg1205, let us killg615 him and seizeg2192 his inheritanceg2817.'

39

"They tookg2983 him, and threwg1544b him out of the vineyardg290 and killedg615 him.

40

"Thereforeg3767 wheng3752 the  1ownerg2962 of the vineyardg290 comesg2064, whatg5101 will he dog4160 to thoseg1565 vine-growersg1092?"

41

They *saidg3004 to Him, "He will bringg622 thoseg846 wretchesg2556 to a wretchedg2560 endg622, and  awill rentg1554 out the vineyardg290 to otherg243 vine-growersg1092 whog3748 will payg591 him the proceedsg2590 at the proper seasonsg2540."

42

Jesusg2424 *saidg3004 to them, "Did you neverg3763 readg314 in the Scripturesg1124, aTHE STONEg3037 WHICHg3739 THE BUILDERSg3618 REJECTEDg593, THISg3778 BECAMEg1096 THE CHIEFg2776 CORNERg1137 stone; THISg3778 CAMEg1096 ABOUT FROM THE LORDg2962, AND IT IS MARVELOUSg2298 IN OUR EYESg3788'?

43

"Thereforeg1223g3778 I sayg3004 to you, the kingdomg932 of Godg2316 will be takeng142 awayg142 from you and giveng1325 to a  1peopleg1484, producingg4160 the fruitg2590 of it.

44

"And  ahe who fallsg4098 on thisg3778 stoneg3037 will be brokeng4917 to piecesg4917; but on whomeverg3739g302 it fallsg4098, it will scatterg3039 him likeg3039 dustg3039."

45

When the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the Phariseesg5330 heardg191 His parablesg3850b, they understoodg1097 that He was speakingg3004 aboutg4012 them.

46

When they soughtg2212 to seizeg2902 Him, they  afearedg5399 the  1peopleg3793, becauseg1893 they consideredg2192 Him to be a  bprophetg4396.
