Kejadian 37: 3-4, 12-13, 17-28

37:3	Sekarang Israel mengasihi Yusuf melebihi semua anak-anaknya, kerana dia telah mengandungnya pada masa tuanya. Dan dia membuatkan dia jubah, tenunan pelbagai warna.
37:4	Kemudian saudara-saudaranya, memandangkan dia disayangi bapanya lebih daripada semua anak lelakinya yang lain, benci dia, dan mereka tidak dapat berkata apa-apa dengan damai kepadanya.
37:12	Dan semasa saudara-saudaranya bermalam di Sikhem, menggembalakan ternakan bapa mereka,
37:13	Israel berkata kepadanya: “Saudara-saudaramu menggembalakan domba di Sikhem. Datang, Saya akan menghantar awak kepada mereka.” Dan apabila dia menjawab,
37:17	Dan lelaki itu berkata kepadanya: “Mereka telah berundur dari tempat ini. Tetapi saya mendengar mereka berkata, ‘Mari kita pergi ke Dotan.’ ” Oleh itu, Yusuf meneruskan perjalanan selepas saudara-saudaranya, dan dia menjumpai mereka di Dotan.
37:18	Dan, apabila mereka melihatnya dari jauh, sebelum dia mendekati mereka, mereka memutuskan untuk membunuhnya.
37:19	Dan mereka berkata satu sama lain: “Lihatlah, si pemimpi menghampiri.
37:20	Datang, mari kita bunuh dia dan buang dia ke dalam perigi tua. Dan marilah kita katakan: ‘Binatang buas yang jahat telah memakannya.’ Dan kemudian akan menjadi jelas apa yang akan dilakukan oleh mimpinya untuknya.”
37:21	Tetapi Ruben, apabila mendengar ini, berusaha untuk membebaskannya dari tangan mereka, dan dia berkata:
37:22	“Jangan ambil nyawanya, mahupun menumpahkan darah. Tetapi buang dia ke dalam perigi ini, yang berada di padang gurun, maka jagalah tanganmu tidak berbahaya.” Tetapi dia berkata ini, ingin menyelamatkannya dari tangan mereka, untuk mengembalikannya kepada bapanya.
37:23	Dan juga, sebaik sahaja dia datang kepada saudara-saudaranya, mereka dengan cepat menanggalkan jubahnya, yang separas buku lali dan ditenun dengan pelbagai warna,
37:24	dan mereka melemparkan dia ke dalam perigi tua, yang tidak mempunyai air.
37:25	Dan duduk makan roti, mereka melihat beberapa orang Ismael, pengembara yang datang dari Gilead, dengan unta mereka, membawa rempah ratus, dan damar, dan minyak mur ke Mesir.
37:26	Oleh itu, Yehuda berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya: “Apa yang akan menguntungkan kita, jika kita membunuh saudara kita dan menyembunyikan darahnya?
37:27	Lebih baik dia dijual kepada orang Ismael, maka tangan kita tidak akan najis. Kerana dia adalah saudara kita dan daging kita.” Abang-abangnya bersetuju dengan kata-katanya.
37:28	Dan apabila saudagar-saudagar Midian itu lewat, mereka menarik dia dari perigi, dan mereka menjual dia kepada orang Ismael dengan harga dua puluh keping perak. Dan ini membawa dia ke Mesir.

Injil

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 21: 33-43, 45-46

21:23	And when he had arrived at the temple, as he was teaching, the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people approached him, berkata: “By what authority do you do these things? And who has given this authority to you?”
21:24	In response, Yesus berkata kepada mereka: “I also will question you with one word: if you tell me this, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
21:25	The baptism of John, where was it from? Was it from heaven, or from men?” But they thought within themselves, berkata:
21:26	“If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we have the crowd to fear, for they all hold John to be a prophet.”
21:27	Dan juga, they answered Jesus by saying, “We do not know.” So he also said to them: “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
21:28	But how does it seem to you? A certain man had two sons. And approaching the first, katanya: ‘Son, go out today to work in my vineyard.’
21:29	Dan bertindak balas, katanya, ‘I am not willing.’ But afterwards, being moved by repentance, dia pergi.
21:30	And approaching the other, he spoke similarly. And answering, katanya, ‘I am going, lord.’ And he did not go.
21:31	Which of the two did the will of the father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that tax collectors and prostitutes shall precede you, into the kingdom of God.
21:32	For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Yet even after seeing this, you did not repent, so as to believe him.
21:33	Listen to another parable. There was a man, the father of a family, who planted a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a press in it, and built a tower. And he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out to sojourn abroad.
21:34	Kemudian, when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, so that they might receive its fruits.
21:35	And the farmers apprehended his servants; they struck one, and killed another, and stoned yet another.
21:36	sekali lagi, he sent other servants, more than before; and they treated them similarly.
21:37	Kemudian, at the very end, he sent his son to them, berkata: ‘They will revere my son.’
21:38	But the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves: ‘This is the heir. Datang, let us kill him, and then we will have his inheritance.’
21:39	And apprehending him, they cast him outside the vineyard, and they killed him.
21:40	Oleh itu, when the lord of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those farmers?”
21:41	They said to him, “He will bring those evil men to an evil end, and he will loan out his vineyard to other farmers, who shall repay to him the fruit in its time.”
21:42	Yesus berkata kepada mereka: “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders have rejected has become the cornerstone. By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?'
21:43	Oleh itu, Saya katakan kepada anda, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and it shall be given to a people who shall produce its fruits.
21:45	And when the leaders of the priests, and the Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them.
21:46	And though they sought to take hold of him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.
