PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 21:36-46)

“GOD SE KONINKRYK SAL VAN JULLE WEGGENEEM WORD:”

36. “Vervolgens het die eienaar nog ‘n groter groter groep slawe gestuur, en die boere het dieselfde met hulle gedoen.

37. “Einde ten laaste het hy sy seun na hulle toe gestuur, want hy het gedink: ‘Hulle sal my seun tog sekerlik ontsien.’

38. “Maar toe die boere die seun sien, sê hulle vir mekaar: ‘Hy is mos die erfgenaam. Kom ons maak hom dood, en dan vat ons sy erfenis.’

39. “Toe gryp hulle hom, smyt hom uit die wingerd, en vermoor hom.

40. “Wat dink julle,” het Jesus gevra, “sal die eienaar van die wingerd met hierdie boere doen wanneer hy terugkom?”

41. Hulle antwoord Hom daarop: ‘Hy sal daardie skurke ‘n verskriklike dood laat sterf, en die wingerd aan ander mense verhuur, wat gereeld sy billike deel van die oes aan hom sal gee.’

42. Jesus sê toe vir hulle: “Julle het tog seker al in die Skrif die volgende gelees: ‘Juis daardie Klip wat die bouers afgekeur het, het die Hoekklip van die gebou geword. Dit is die Here wat dit gedoen het, en dit is vir ons wonderlik!

43. “Daarom verseker Ek julle: God se Koninkryk sal van julle af weggeneem word, en aan ‘n volk gegee word, wie se lewe by Koninkryks-mense pas.

44. “Elkeen wat teen hierdie klip val, sal verpletter word, en die een op wie HY val, sal vergruis word.”

45. Toe die priesterhoofde en die skrifkenners hierdie gelykenisse hoor, het hulle besef dat Jesus op hulle sinspeel.

46. Daarom wou hulle Hom arresteer, maar hulle was bang om dit te doen, omdat die skare geglo het, dat Hy ‘n Profeet was.

(Matthew 21:36-46)

“THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU:”

36. “Then he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them.

37. “Finally he sent his son to them, saying: ‘They will respect my son.’

38. “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves: ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and have his inheritance.’

39. “And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

40. “When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”

41. They said to Him: ‘He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him the fruits in their season.’

42. Then Jesus said to them: “Have you never read in țhe Scriptures: ‘The Stone rejected, Has become the Cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it was marvelous in our eyes?’

43. “Therefore I tell you: The Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a people producing its fruits.

44. “And the one who falls on this Stone, will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”

45. When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking about them

46. And although they were seeking to arrest Him, they feared the crowds, because they held Him to be a Prophet.

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 21:28-35)

DIE EIENAAR VAN ‘N LANDGOED HET ‘N WINGERD GEPLANT:

28. “Maar wat dink julle hiervan?” sê Hy toe vir hulle. “‘n Man wat twee seuns gehad het, het na die eerste een toe gegaan en vir hom gesê: ‘My kind, jy moet vandag in die wingerd gaan werk.’

29. “‘Ek is nie lus nie,’ was sy antwoord, maar later het hy spyt gekry en tog gaan werk.

30. “Die pa gaan toe na die ander een toe, en gee hom dieselfde opdrag. Hy antwoord toe: ‘Ek maak so, pa,’ maar het tog nie gaan werk nie.

31. “Wie van die twee seuns was die gehoorsame een?” Hulle antwoord toe: ‘Natuurlik die eerste een.’ Toe sê Jesus vir hulle: “Ek verseker julle: Die tollenaars en die prostitute sal voor julle in God se Koninkryk ingaan.

32. “Want Johannes het na julle toe gekom, en die regte pad aangewys, maar julle het sy prediking nie aanvaar nie. Die tollenaars en die prostitute het dit egter aanvaar. En selfs toe julle dit sien, het julle nie agterna berou gekry en Johannes geglo nie.

33. “Luister na nog ‘n gelykenis: Die eienaar van ‘n landgoed het ‘n wingerd geplant, en ‘n klipmuur daar rondom gebou. Hy het toe ‘n parskuip uitgekap, en ‘n uitkyk-toring opgerig. Toe het hy dit aan boere verhuur, en na die buiteland vertrek.

34. “Teen die tyd van die druiwe-oes stuur hy toe van sy slawe om sy deel van die oes te gaan haal.

35. “Die boere het sy slawe egter gegryp; hulle het die een geslaan, ‘n ander een doodgemaak en ‘n derde een met klippe doodgegooi.”

A MASTER OF A HOUSE PLANTED A VINEYARD:

28. “What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said: ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today. And he answered:

29. “‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went.

30. “And he went to the other son and said the same to him. And he answered: ‘I’ll go sir,’ but he did not go.

31. “Which of the two sons did the will of the father?” They said: ‘The first.’ Jesus then said to them: “Truly I say to you: The tax collectors and the prostitutes will go 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 the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.

33. “Hear another parable: “There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.

34. “When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit.

35. “And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.”

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 21:18-27)

DIE BOOM HET TOTAAL VERSKROMPEL:

18. Vroegdag op pad terug na Jerusalem, het Jesus honger geword,

19. en ‘n enkele vyeboom langs die pad sien staan. Hy gaan toe na die boom, maar al wat Hy daaraan gekry het, was blare. Hy sê toe vir die boom: “Mag jy nooit weer vrugte dra nie!” Die boom het onmiddellik totaal verskrompel.

20. Die dissipels was verstom toe hulle dit sien, en het gesê: ‘Hoe op aarde kon die boom só skielik heeltemal verdroog?’

21. Jesus het hulle geantwoord: “Ek verseker julle dat as julle glo en nie twyfel nie, julle nie net dieselfde sal kan doen nie, maar baie meer. Julle sal selfs vir hierdie berg kan sê: ‘God sal jou optel en in die see gooi!,’ en dit sal so gebeur.

22. “Alles wat julle in die gebed van God vra, sal julle ontvang, mits julle glo.”

23. Weer terug by die tempel, was Jesus besig om onderrig te gee, toe die priesterhoofde en familie-hoofde na Hom toe kom en vra: ‘Watter soort volmag het U om mense uit die tempel te jaag? Wie het U hierdie volmag gegee?’

24. Jesus het hulle geantwoord: “Ek sal julle sê watter soort volmag Ek het om hierdie soort dinge te doen. Maar dan moet julle eers vir My hierdie vraag beantwoord:

25. “Kom die doop wat Johannes beoefen het, van God af, of was dit maar ‘n bloot menslike saak?” Hulle het toe onder mekaar beraadslaag: ‘As ons sê dat dit van God af kom, gaan Hy vir ons sê: “Hoekom het julle hom dan nie geglo nie?”

26. ‘Maar as ons sê dit was maar net ‘n bloot menslike saak, sal ons vir die volk moet oppas, want vir hulle is Johannes ‘n Profeet.’

27. Gevolglik het hulle Jesus geantwoord: ‘Ons weet nie.’ Daarop was Jesus se reaksie: “Dan gaan Ek ook nie julle vraag beantwoord nie.”

THE FIG TREE WHITHERED AT ONCE:

18. In the morning, as He was returning to the city, He became hungry.

19. And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, He went to it and found nothing on it, but only leaves. And He said to it: “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.

20. When the disciples saw if, they marveled, saying: ‘How did the fig tree wither at once?’

21. And Jesus answered them; “Truly I say to you: ‘If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even when you say to this mountain: ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea, it will happen.

22. “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

23. And when He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to Him as He was teaching, and said: ‘By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?’

24. Jesus answered them: “I also Will ask you one question, and if you tell Me the answer, then I also Will tell you by what authority I do these things.

25. “The baptism of John the Baptist, from where did it come? From heaven or from man.” And they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘If we say: From heaven, He Will say to us: Why then did you not believe him?

26. ‘But if we say: From man, we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold, that John was a Prophet.’

27. So they answered Jesus: ‘We do not know.’ And He said to them: “Neiher Will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 21: 10-17)

“MY HUIS IS BEDOEL OM ‘N HUIS VAN GEBED TE WEES:”

10. Toe Hy Jerusalem binne gaan, was die hele stad in beroering. Hulle het gevra: ‘Wie is hierdie Man?’

11. Die skare het geantwoord: ‘Hy is Jesus, die Profeet uit Nasaret in Galilea.’

12. Jesus het tempel toe gegaan en al die handelaars en hulle kliënte uitgejaag. Hy het ook die tafels van die bankiers, en die hokkies van die duiwe-verkopers onderstebo gegooi,

13. en vir hulle gesê: “Daar staan in die Skrif geskryf: ‘My huis is bedoel om ‘n Huis van gebed te wees,’ maar julle het daarvan ‘n rowersnes gemaak.”

14. Blinde en verlamde mense het daar op die tempel-terrein na Hom toe gekom, en Hy het hulle gesond gemaak.

15. Maar toe die hoofpriesters en die skrifkenners die merkwaardige dinge sien wat Hy doen, en hoor hoe selfs die kinders in die tempel uitroep: ‘Prys God vir die Seun van Dawid,’ was hulle bitterlik ontsteld,

16. en het vir Jesus gesê: ‘Hoor U wat sê hulle daar?’ “Ja,” was Jesus se antwoord. “Het julle nog nooit in die Skrif gelees: ‘U het kinders en babatjies geleer om U lof te besing,’ nie?”

17. Toe is Hy weer daar weg, en Hy het uit die stad na Betanië toe gegaan, waar Hy oornag het.

“MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER:”

10. And when He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying: ‘Who is this?’

11. And the crowds said: ‘This is the Prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.’

12. And Jesus entered the temple, and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold pigeons.

13. He said to them: “It is written: ‘My House shall be called a House of prayer,’ but you make It a den of robbers!”

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 did, and the children crying out in the temple: ‘Hosanna, to the Son of David!’ they were indignant,

16. and they said to Him: ‘Do You hear what these are saying?’ And Jesus replied: “Yes, have you never read: ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies, You Have prepared praise?’”

17. And leaving them, He went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
