MATEO 21

Ang Madinalag-on nga Pagsulod ni Jesus sa Jerusalem

(Mar. 11:1-11; Luc. 19:28-40; Juan 12:12-19)

1  Sang malapit na sila ni Jesus sa Jerusalem kag nakaabot na sa baryo sang Betfage, sa Bukid sang mga Olibo, ginpauna ni Jesus ang duha niya ka sumulunod.2 Nagsiling siya sa ila,

3 Kon may magpamangkot sa inyo, sabta ninyo, kag ipadala niya dayon sa inyo."
4 Ini natabo agod matuman ang ginhambal sang propeta:6 Gani naglakat ang duha ka sumulunod kag gintuman nila ang sugo ni Jesus.7 Gindala nila ang asno upod ang tinday didto kay Jesus. Ginhapinan nila ini sang ila mga panapton kag ginsakyan dayon ni Jesus.8  Madamo gid nga mga tawo ang naghumlad sang ila mga panapton sa dalan, kag ang iban nagtapas sang mga sanga sang mga kahoy kag ginladlad ini sa dalan bilang pagpadungog kay Jesus .

9 Nagsinggit ang mga tawo nga nagauna kag ang nagasunod sa iya,
10 Sang pagsulod ni Jesus sa Jerusalem nagkinagula ang mga tawo didto. Nagsiling sila,

11 Nagsabat ang mga tawo nga kaupod ni Jesus,

Nagkadto si Jesus sa Templo

(Mar. 11:15:19; Luc. 19:45-48; Juan 2:13-22)

12  Nagkadto si Jesus sa templo kag gintabog niya ang mga tawo nga nagapamakal kag nagabaligya didto. Ginpamaliskad niya ang mga lamisa sang mga manugbaylo sang kuwarta kag ang mga pulungkuan sang mga manugbaligya sang mga pating nga inughalad .

13 Nagsiling siya sa ila,
14 May mga bulag kag mga lupog nga nagpalapit sa iya didto sa templo kag gin-ayo niya sila.15 Naakig ang manugdumala nga mga pari kag ang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan sang makita nila ang makatilingala nga mga butang nga iya ginahimo kag sang mabatian nila ang mga kabataan didto sa templo nga nagasinggit,16 Gani nagsiling sila kay Jesus, Nagsabat si Jesus,

17  Dayon ginbayaan sila ni Jesus. Nagguwa siya sa siyudad sang Jerusalem kag nagpa-Betania kag didto nagtulog.

Ginpakamalaot ni Jesus ang Kahoy nga Higera

(Mar. 11:12-14; 20-24)

18 Pagkaaga, sang nagapabalik na si Jesus sa siyudad sang Jerusalem gin-gutom siya.19 Karon, may nakita siya nga kahoy nga higera sa higad sang dalan. Gani ginpalapitan niya ini, pero wala siya sing may nakita nga bunga kundi mga dahon lang. Nagsiling siya dayon sa kahoy, Kag sa gilayon nalaya ang higera.20 Sang makita ini sang iya mga sumulunod natingala gid sila. Nagsiling sila,21 Nagsabat si Jesus sa ila,

22  Ang bisan ano nga inyo pangayuon sa Dios sa pangamuyo mabaton gid ninyo, kon nagatuo kamo."

Ang Pamangkot Parte sa Awtoridad ni Jesus

(Mar. 11:27-33; Luc. 20:1-8)

23 Nagkadto liwat si Jesus sa templo. Kag samtang nagatudlo siya didto, nagpalapit sa iya ang mga manugdumala nga mga pari kag mga manugdumala sang mga Judio kag nagpamangkot,24 Nagsabat si Jesus sa ila,25  Kay sin-o bala naghalin ang awtoridad ni Juan sa pagbautiso, sa Dios + 25 Dios: sa literal, langit. bala ukon sa tawo?" Nagbinaisay sila kon ano ang ila isabat. Siling nila,26  Pero kon magsiling kita nga halin sa tawo, delikado kita sa mga tawo kay nagapati sila nga si Juan propeta sang Dios ."

27 Gani nagsabat sila kay Jesus, Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa ila,

Ang Paanggid Parte sa Duha Ka Mag-utod nga Lalaki

28  it Nagsiling liwat si Jesus sa ila, 29 Nagsabat siya, Pero sang ulihi nagbaylo ang iya hunahuna kag nagkadto siya sa ila talamnan kag nag-obra.30 Nagkadto man ang amay sa manghod kag ginsilingan man niya siya pareho sang iya ginsiling sa magulang. Nagsabat ang manghod, pero wala siya nagtuman.31 Ti, diin sa duha ang nagtuman sang sugo sang iya amay?" Nagsabat sila, Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila,

32  Kay si Juan nga manugbautiso nagkadto diri kag nagtudlo sa inyo sang husto nga paagi agod mangin matarong kamo sa atubangan sang Dios , pero wala kamo nagpati sa iya. Ang mga manugsukot sang buhis kag ang mga babayi nga nagbaligya sang ila lawas nagpati sa iya. Kag bisan nakita ninyo ini, wala gid kamo nagbag-o sang inyo hunahuna kag nagpati sa iya."

Ang Paanggid Parte sa mga Agsador

(Mar. 12:1-12; Luc. 20:9-19)

33  it Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, 34 Sang tion na sang pagpamupo sang ubas, ginsugo niya ang iya mga suluguon sa mga agsador sa pagkuha sang iya parte.35 Pero pag-abot didto sang mga suluguon, ginpangdakop sila sang mga agsador. Ginbunal nila ang isa, ginpatay ang isa, kag ginbato pa gid nila ang isa.36 Pagkatapos sadto nagsugo ang tag-iya sang madamo pa gid nga mga suluguon sang sa nauna. Pero amo man gihapon ang ginhimo sa ila.37 Sang ulihi ginpadala niya ang iya anak. Naghunahuna siya nga tahuron nila ang iya anak.38 Pero pagkakita sang mga agsador sa iya anak, nagsiling sila,

39 Gani gindakop nila siya kag gindala didto sa guwa sang talamnan kag ginpatay."
40  it Dayon nagpamangkot si Jesus, 41 Nagsabat sila,

42 Nagsiling pa si Jesus sa ila,
43  it Dayon nagsiling si Jesus,

44 Ang bisan sin-o nga mahulog sa sini nga bato mabali, pero ang mahulugan sang amo nga bato madugmok gid.]"
45 Pagkabati sang manugdumala nga mga pari kag mga Pariseo sang mga paanggid ni Jesus, nahangpan nila nga sila ang iya ginatumod.46 Gani gusto na gid nila nga dakpon si Jesus, pero nahadlok sila sa mga tawo tungod kay ginakilala nila nga propeta si Jesus.

MATTHEW 21

Jesus Enters Jerusalem

(Mark 11.1-11; Luke 19.28-38; John 12.12-19)

1 When Jesus and his disciples came near Jerusalem, he went to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives and sent two of them on ahead. 2 He told them, “Go into the next village, where you will at once find a donkey and her colt. Untie the two donkeys and bring them to me.

3 If anyone asks why you are doing this, just say, ‘The Lordt needs them.’ He will at once let you have the donkeys.”

4 So God's promise came true, just as the prophet had said,

5  t “Announce to the people
of Jerusalem:
‘Your king is coming to you!
He is humble
and rides on a donkey.
He comes on the colt
of a donkey.’ ”
6 The disciples left and did what Jesus had told them to do.

7 They brought the donkey and its colt and laid some clothes on their backs. Then Jesus got on.
8 Many people spread clothes in the road, while others put down branchest which they had cut from trees.

9 t Some people walked ahead of Jesus and others followed behind. They were all shouting,
“Hoorayt for the Son of David!t
God bless the one who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Hooray for God
in heaven above!”

10 When Jesus came to Jerusalem, everyone in the city was excited and asked, “Who can this be?”

11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Jesus in the Temple

(Mark 11.15-19; Luke 19.45-48; John 2.13-22)

13 t He told them, “The Scriptures say, ‘My house should be called a place of worship.’ But you have turned it into a place where robbers hide.”
14 Blind and lame people came to Jesus in the temple, and he healed them. 15 But the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses were angry when they saw his miracles and heard the children shouting praises to the Son of David.t

16 t The men said to Jesus, “Don't you hear what those children are saying?”
“Yes, I do!” Jesus answered. “Don't you know that the Scriptures say, ‘Children and infants will sing praises’?”

17 Then Jesus left the city and went out to the village of Bethany, where he spent the night.

Jesus Puts a Curse //on a Fig Tree

(Mark 11.12-14,20-24)

19 and along the way he saw a fig tree. But when he came to it, he found only leaves and no figs. So he told the tree, “You will never again grow any fruit!” Right then the fig tree dried up.
20 The disciples were shocked when they saw how quickly the tree had dried up. 21 t But Jesus said to them, “If you have faith and don't doubt, I promise you can do what I did to this tree. And you will be able to do even more. You can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will.

22 If you have faith when you pray, you will be given whatever you ask for.”

A Question //about Jesus' Authority

(Mark 11.27-33; Luke 20.1-8)

23 Jesus had gone into the temple and was teaching when the chief priests and the leaders of the people came up to him. They asked, “What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesus answered, “I have just one question to ask you. If you answer it, I will tell you where I got the right to do these things.

25 Who gave John the right to baptize? Was it God in heaven or merely some human being?”
They thought it over and said to each other, “We can't say God gave John this right. Jesus will ask us why we didn't believe John. 26 On the other hand, these people think John was a prophet, and we are afraid of what they might do to us. That's why we can't say it was merely some human who gave John the right to baptize.”

27 So they told Jesus, “We don't know.”
Jesus said, “Then I won't tell you who gave me the right to do what I do.”

A Story about Two Sons

28 Jesus said:
I will tell you a story about a man who had two sons. Then you can tell me what you think. The father went to the older son and said, “Go work in the vineyard today!” 29 His son told him he would not do it, but later he changed his mind and went. 30 The man then told his younger son to go work in the vineyard. The boy said he would, but he didn't go.

31 Which one of the sons obeyed his father?
“The older one,” the chief priests and leaders answered.
Then Jesus told them:
You can be sure tax collectorst and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you ever will!

32 t When John the Baptist showed you how to do right, you would not believe him. But these evil people did believe. And even when you saw what they did, you still would not change your minds and believe.

Renters of a Vineyard

(Mark 12.1-12; Luke 20.9-19)

33  t Jesus told the chief priests and leaders to listen to this story:
A land owner once planted a vineyard. He built a wall around it and dug a pit to crush the grapes in. He also built a lookout tower. Then he rented out his vineyard and left the country.
34 When it was harvest time, the owner sent some servants to get his share of the grapes. 35 But the renters grabbed those servants. They beat up one, killed one, and stoned one of them to death.

36 He then sent more servants than he did the first time. But the renters treated them in the same way.
37 Finally, the owner sent his own son to the renters, because he thought they would respect him. 38 But when they saw the man's son, they said, “Someday he will own the vineyard. Let's kill him! Then we can have it all for ourselves.”

39 So they grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

40 Jesus asked, “When the owner of that vineyard comes, what do you suppose he will do to those renters?”

41 The chief priests and leaders answered, “He will kill them in some horrible way. Then he will rent out his vineyard to people who will give him his share of grapes at harvest time.”

42  t Jesus replied, “You surely know that the Scriptures say,
‘The stone the builders
tossed aside
is now the most important
stone of all.
This is something
the Lord has done,
and it is amazing to us.’
43 I tell you God's kingdom will be taken from you and given to people who will do what he demands.

44 Anyone who stumbles over this stone will be crushed, and anyone it falls on will be smashed to pieces.”t
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard these stories, they knew Jesus was talking about them. 46 So they looked for a way to arrest Jesus. But they were afraid to, because the people thought he was a prophet.
