He is a Gift 21
τὴν κατέναντι - The Opposing One: Untie Her
He who is saying to themselves, "Traverse across into the Unwalled Village, the Opposing One of yourselves, and immediately you will find a female donkey, she who has been chained up, and a young colt in company with herself; those who have untied, lead to myself!And if anyone should say anything to yourselves, you will say that the Master of themselves is holding a need, and he will send themselves immediately.
And this thing has become so that she might be filled up, the one which was spoken of straight across through the Prophet, he who is saying,
ὑποζυγίου - pack animal, beast of burden
"Say to the Daughter of Memorial ("Zion"), Behold! the King of yourself is coming to yourself, a gentle one, and he who has mounted upon a donkey and upon a young colt, a son of a beast of the yoke!"
"Spin around exceedingly, daughter of Memorial ("Zion")! Sound a blast, daughter of Foundation of Peace ("Jerusalem")! Behold, the king of yourself is coming to yourself, a just one, and he who is delivered! He, himself is a poor/afflicted one, and he who rides upon a male ass, and upon a young colt, the son of female donkeys!"
(Zechariah 9:9 RBT)Sitting on a Pregnant Donkey
And those who led across, the Learners, and those who made just as the Salvation arranged together to themselves,they led the Donkey and the Young Colt, and they put the Outer Garments on themselves, and he set above themselves.
ἔκοπτον - Cut, Strike, Smite: Some leveling their own selves, others beating flat young shoots
And the Great Multitude spread level the Outer Garments of their own selves within the Road, but other ones kept smiting young shoots away from the Trees and they kept spreading within the Road.Marching in front of Himself: "Please Deliver!"
And the Multitude, the ones who are leading ahead of himself, and the ones who are accompanying, were cawing, those who are saying, "Deliver Please! to the Son of Beloved, he who has been praised, the one who is coming within a name of Master, Deliver Please! within the Highest Ones!"And he who entered of himself into Foundations of Peace, she was shaken to and fro, the whole City, she who is saying, "Who is this one?"
But the Multitude kept saying, "This one is the Prophet, Salvation, the one away from Guarded One ("Nazareth") of the the Circuit ("Galilee")!"
And Salvation came in into the Sacred Place, and he threw out everyone of those who are offering for sale, and those who are buying within the Sacred Place, and the Feasting Tables of the Money Changers he turned upside down, also the Seats of the ones who are offering the Doves for sale.
ἀνατρέπω - "turned up" (John 2:15)
κατέστρεψεν - "turned upside down" (Matthew 21:3)
The Wheel of Genesis
"And the self eternal Man is driving out, and is causing the self eternal Cherubim to settle down from the front to the Protected-Garden of Delight and the self eternal flame of the Sword of the One who Turns Herself Around, to keep watch over the self eternal Road of the Tree of the Living ones." (Genesis 3:24 RBT)
“And Feller ("Gideon") is coming in, and behold! a man who counts to an evil one of himself a dream, and is saying, ‘Behold! I dreamed a dream! And behold! I saw a clear loaf of barley, he who turns himself over within the camp of Strife ("Midian"). And he is coming up to the Tent, and he is striking him, and he is falling, and he is turning over himself to the upside, and the Tent has fallen!’”
(Judges 7:13 RBT)House of my Prayer, בית תפלתי - Isa 56:7
And he is speaking to themselves, "It has been written, the Home of myself, a home of a prayer, he will be summoned, and you, yourselves are making himself a den of plunderers/pirates!"And smoke-blind ones and limping maimed ones drew near to himself within the Holy Place and he treated themselves.
Maimed limping ones who cannot tread around.
Deliver the Son!
And the Arch Priests and the Scholars, those who have seen the Wondrous Things which he made, and the Little Boys who are cawing out within the Sacred Place, and those who are saying, "Deliverance Please! to the Son of Beloved!", they became indignant.αἶνος - A Tale
And they said to self, "Do you hear what these ones are saying?" And the Salvation is speaking to themselves, "Yes! Never at any time did you know certainly that From out of a mouth of unspeaking-babes, and those who are nursing, you have repaired a story!"
And he who has left down themselves, came out outside of the City into House of Misery ("Bethany") and He encamped the night there.
Into the City Above
And at dawn, he who is leading up into the City, was hungry.And he who has perceived a fig tree, one upon the Road, came upon herself, and he found no one within herself except only leaves, and he is speaking to herself, "Never again from out yourself will he become fruit into the Eternal one, and she was withered up on the spot, the Fig Tree.
Nothing to eat!
"And he has become like a tree who is transplanted upon channels of dual waters. Straightly he is giving the fruit of himself within the time of himself, and his ascending leaf is not withering away, and everyone he is making straight is advancing forward."
(Psalm 1:3 RBT)And those who have perceived, the Learners, marveled, those who are saying, "How was the Fig Tree withered on the spot?"
And he who has been separated, the Salvation, said to themselves, "Trustworthy One, I am speaking to yourselves, if you should hold a trust and are not splitting apart, not only will you make the one of the Fig Tree, but rather if to the Mountain, this one, you should say, "Be lifted up, and be cast into the Sea, she will become."
And everything, as much as you may ask within the Prayer, those who are trusting, you will take hold.
And he who has come of himself into the Sacred Place, drew near to self, he who is teaching, the Arch Priests and the Elder Ones of the People, those who are saying, "Within what kind of authority are you making these things? And who gave the Authority, this one, to yourself?"
And he who has been separated, the Salvation, said to themselves, "I will ask yourselves, even myself, one word which if you should tell myself, even myself to yourselves, I will tell within what kind of authority I am making these ones.
From where was the Submersion, the one of Favored? From out of a heavenly one or from out of humans?" And the ones began debating back and forth within their own selves, those who are saying, "If we should say from out of a heavenly one, he will say to ourselves, For what reason then have you not trusted to self?
But if we should say from out of humans, we are afraid of the whole Multitude, for as a prophet they are holding the Favored."
And those who have been separated to the Salvation, they said, "We don't know." He was bringing to light to themselves, also himself, "Neither I, myself am saying to yourselves within what kind of authority I am making these things."
A Parable of Fathering Two
And how does it seem to yourselves— A human was holding two children, he who has drawn near said to the First One, 'Child, bring under, work today within the Vineyard.'Ἐγὼ κύριε - I, Master
And the one who has been separated said, "I, master" and he did not go away.39cAnd he who drew near to the Second One said the same thing. And the one who has been separated said, "I do not want to." And later, he who has regretted went away.40
Esau or Jacob?
Who from out of the Two made the Desire of the Father? They are saying, 'the Latter One.' The Salvation is saying to themselves, "Trustworthy One, I am saying to yourselves that the Tax Farmers and the Prostitutes are leading ahead of yourselves into the Queen of the God!"41
Genesis 33
A scene of the order of crossing over is depicted by Jacob, who crossed to their faces. Jacob ("Heel Chaser") then puts the two maid-slaves and their children as First, and Weary ("Leah") and her children behind, and Ewe ("Rachel") and Joseph ("He Adds") as the last ones to "come in." A crossing over of eternity.
For Favored came toward yourselves within a way of Justice, and you did not trust himself. But tax farmers and prostitutes trusted himself, and yourselves, those who have perceived, neither did you regret afterward to trust himself!
What you do to her, you do to yourself
Listen to another comparison! A man was being a home master, anyone who planted a vineyard. And he placed a fenced enclosure around self, and he dug out a trough within self and he home-built a tower, and he gave himself out to earth-workers, and he journeyed abroad.And when the Opportune Time of the Fruits drew near, he sent away the Born-Bondmen of himself toward the Earth-Workers to take hold of the Fruits of Himself.
Stone-casting - Bible-thumping
And the Earth-Workers, those who have taken hold of the Born Bondmen of Himself, indeed him whom they flayed, and him whom they killed away, and him whom they stoned!
He sent backwards other born bondmen, many more than the First Ones, and they did to themselves likewise.
ἐντρέπω - to invert, turn in
And lastly, he sent away toward themselves the Son of Himself, he who is saying, "They will be turned inward/inverted by the Son of myself."And the Earth-Workers, those who have perceived the Son said within their own selves, "This one is the Heir. Come! Let us kill away himself and we should hold charge over the Inheritance of himself!"
And those who have taken hold of himself, they cast out of the Vineyard and they killed away.
When therefore the Master of the Vineyard should come, what will he make for the Earth-Workers, those ones?
They are saying to self, "Evil ones, evilly he will destroy away themselves, and the Vineyard he will give out to different earth-workers, anyone who will give back himself the Fruits within the Opportune Times of themselves!"
ἀπεδοκίμασαν - rejected after close examination
The Salvation is saying to themselves, "You have never known certainly within the Writings, "A stone, whosoever they have rejected away, the ones who are house-building, this one has become into a head of an angle; close beside a master she has become, and she is a wondrous one within eyes of ourselves!Because of this I am speaking to yourselves that she will be lifted up away from yourselves, the Queen of the God, and she will be given to a swarm which is making the Fruits of herself!
He will Part the Grain from the Chaff
And the one who has fallen upon the Stone, this one, will be crushed together, and upon whomever he should fall he will winnow himself.And the Arch Priests and the Separatists, those who have heard the Comparisons of himself, recognized that he is speaking around to themselves.
And those who are seeking to take power over himself, they feared the Multitude since they kept holding himself into a prophet.

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:29 Greek NT: Nestle 1904
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Ἐγὼ κύριε, καὶ οὐκ ἀπῆλθεν.
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:29 Greek NT: Westcott and Hort 1881
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Ἐγώ, κύριε· καὶ οὐκ ἀπῆλθεν.
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:29 Greek NT: Westcott and Hort / [NA27 and UBS4 variants]
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν [οὐ] Ἐγώ / θέλω, (κύριε· καὶ οὐκ) [ὕστερον δὲ μεταμεληθεὶς] ἀπῆλθεν.
It does not mean "yes, sir." It does not mean "I go, master." Where scholars seemly always opt to add words the true reading is simply, I, Master.
This passage is translated from the earliest manuscripts. Later manuscripts made a real hack job of the passage.
The word used here is not "repentance":
"Rather “changed his mind,” felt regret but not repentance or Metanoia, a deeper and more lasting feeling: see ch. Matthew 3:2.
According to a well-supported reading the cases of the two sons are reversed. The first agrees but goes not, the second refuses but afterwards works in the vineyard. The variation is interesting, because it points to an interpretation by which the two sons represent Jew and Gentile"
(Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges)
Strongs #G3338, "μεταμέλομαι" (metamelomai) means "to change one's care or interest for another," implying a change of mind or repentance characterized by regret or sorrow. It denotes a reconsideration or remorseful reflection on past actions or decisions.
Earliest authoritative manuscripts have the Latter/Last One not "the First One":
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:31 Greek NT: Nestle 1904
τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν Ὁ ὕστερος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:31 Greek NT: Westcott and Hort 1881
τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν Ὁ ὕστερος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.
Tradition made quite the saying of tax farmers and prostitutes entering "the kingdom" before anyone else. This is as backwards as it gets.
