\subsection{Matthew 21}
\subsubsection{The Triumphal Entry}
\VS{1} And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to \Bethphage to the Mount of 
Olives, then \Iesous sent two disciples, 
\VS{2} Saying to them, Be going into 
the village opposite you and immediately you will find [an] ass tied and [a] colt 
with her. Having loosed [them] bring [them] to me. 
\VS{3} And if anyone say anything to 
you, say that: The Lord has need of them. And immediately he sent them. 
\VS{4} And this is come to pass in order that what was spoken through the 
prophet be fulfilled when he says: 

\begin{verse}
\VS{5} Say to the daughter of Zion \\
Behold her king comes to her \\
Gentle and riding on [an] ass \\
And upon [a] colt, the foal of [an] ass. 
\end{verse}

\VS{6} And the disciples having gone and having done as \Iesous directed them, 
\VS{7} they brought the ass and the colt, and placed on them their garments, 
and he sat upon them. 
\VS{8} And [a] very great crowd spread their garments in 
the way, others cut branches from the trees and 
spread them in the way. 
\VS{9} And the crowd going before him and following 
were crying out saying\footnote{Ps.118:25\EnDash{}26}: 

\begin{verse}
Hosanna\footnote{Hebrew: ``Help'' or ``Save I pray''} to the son of \Dauid 
\\
Blessed is he coming in the name of [the] Lord \\
Hosanna in the highest.
\end{verse}

\VS{10} And when he entered into Jerusalem the entire city shook saying: Who 
is this? 
\VS{11} And the crowd was saying: This is the prophet \Iesous from 
Nazareth of \Galileias.

\subsubsection{Cleansing the Temple}
\VS{12} And \Iesous entered into the temple, and threw out all those selling 
and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the moneychangers 
and the seats of those selling doves, 
\VS{13} And he says to them: It is 
written: My house will be called [a] house of prayer, but you make it [a] den of 
thieves. 

\VS{14} And the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he 
healed them. 
\VS{15} But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the 
wonders that he did and the children crying out in the temple and saying: 
Hosanna to the son of \Dauid, they were indignant, 
\VS{16} and said to him: 
Do you hear what these say? And \Iesous says to them: Yes, Have you never read 
that\footnote{Ps.8:2}: 

\begin{verse}
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants I will prepare praise? 
\end{verse}

\VS{17} And leaving them he went out of the city to \Bethania and lodged 
there.

\subsubsection{The Withered Fig Tree}
\VS{18} Now returning to the city early, he hungered. 
\VS{19} And seeing one 
fig tree on the road he came to it, and found nothing on it except leaves 
only, and he says to it: No longer shall fruit grow on you for eternity. And 
immediately the fig tree withered. 
\VS{20} And when the disciples saw they marveled saying: How is the fig tree immediately withered? 
\VS{21} \Iesous answering said to them: Truly I say to you, If you have belief and do not 
doubt, not only this of the fig tree will you do, but if you say to this 
mountain: Be taken and be thrown into the sea, it will come to pass. 
\VS{22} And everything that you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.

\subsubsection{The Authority of \Iesous}
\VS{23} And when he came into the temple, while he was teaching the chief 
priests and the elders of the people came to him saying: By what authority 
do you do these things? And who gave this authority to you? 
\VS{24} And answering \Iesous said to them: And I will ask you one question that if you 
tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things: 
\VS{25} Whence was \Ioannes the Baptist? From heaven or from men? And they considered 
among themselves saying: If we say: From heaven, he will say to us: Why then 
did you not believe him? 
\VS{26} But if we say: From man, we fear the crowd, 
for all hold \Ioannes as prophet. 
\VS{27} And answering \Iesous they said: We do 
not know. And he says to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do 
these [things]. 

\subsubsection{The Parable of the Two Sons}
\VS{28} But how does it seem to you? [a] man had two sons. Coming to 
the first he said: Son, be going today, be working in the vineyard. 
\VS{29} But answering he says: I will not, but later repenting he went. 
\VS{30} 
Coming to the second he said likewise. And answering he said: I will Lord, 
and went not. 
\VS{31} Which of the two did the will of his father? They say: 
The first. \Iesous says to them: Truly I say to you that the tax-collectors 
and the harlots will precede you into the Kingdom of God. 
\VS{32} For \Ioannes 
came to you in the way of justice and you believed him not, but the 
tax-collectors and the harlots believed him. But you when you saw neither 
repented later that [You] might believe in him. 

\subsubsection{The Parable of the Tenants}
\VS{33} Hear another parable. 
[There was a] man [who] was Lord of the house who planted a vineyard and built [a] fence around it, and dug [a] winepress in it and built [a] tower and leased it to vinedressers and went on [a] journey. 
\VS{34} Now when the time\fnKairos{} of the fruits drew near, he 
sent his slaves to the vinedressers to be taking his fruit. 
\VS{35} And taking his slaves the vinedressers beat one and killed another and stoned 
another. 
\VS{36} Again he sent other slaves more than the first, and they 
did to them likewise. 
\VS{37} And later he sent to them his son saying: They 
will respect my son. 
\VS{38} But the vinedressers seeing the son said among 
themselves: This is the heir. Come let us kill him and we will have his 
inheritance. 
\VS{39} And taking him they threw him out of the vineyard and 
killed [him]. 
\VS{40} When therefore the Lord of the vineyard comes, what will he 
do to those vinedressers? 
\VS{41} They say to him: He will badly destroy 
those evil [ones], and he will lease the vineyard to other vinedressers, who give 
him the fruits in their own seasons\fnKairos{}. 
\VS{42} \Iesous says to them: Have you never read in the scriptures\footnote{Ps.118:22}:

\begin{verse}
The stone that the builders rejected \\
This became the head of the cornerstones. \\
By the Lord this came to pass \\
And is a wonder in our eyes.
\end{verse}

\VS{43} Because of this I say to you that the Kingdom of God shall be taken 
from you and given to [a] nation producing the fruits of it. 
\VS{44} And the 
[one] falling on this stone will be dashed to pieces, and upon whom it falls, it 
will crush him.\footnote{include vs 44: \sinaiticus{}BW \koine{} \vulgate{}; omit vs 44: D} 
\VS{45} And when the chief priests and the scribes heard his parable they 
knew that he speaks concerning them. 
\VS{46} And though seeking to lay hold 
of him, they feared the crowds, because they were holding him as prophet.
