The Triumphal Entry

11 (A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to (B)Bethphage and Bethany, at (C)the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent (D)two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, (E)on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many (F)spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, (G)“Hosanna! (H)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is (I)the coming (J)kingdom of (K)our father (L)David! (M)Hosanna (N)in the highest!”

11 (O)And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, (P)he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

12 (Q)On the following day, when they came from Bethany, (R)he was hungry. 13 (S)And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for (T)it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15 (U)And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (V)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (W)pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, (X)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But (Y)you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and (Z)were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because (AA)all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 (AB)And when evening came they[b] went out of the city.

The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree

20 (AC)As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, (AD)“Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have (AE)faith in God. 23 (AF)Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, (AG)‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not (AH)doubt in his heart, but (AI)believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, (AJ)whatever you ask in prayer, (AK)believe that you (AL)have received[c] it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever (AM)you stand praying, (AN)forgive, (AO)if you have anything against anyone, so that (AP)your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[d]

The Authority of Jesus Challenged

27 (AQ)And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, (AR)“By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John (AS)from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, (AT)‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—(AU)they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was (AV)a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

The King Comes to Jerusalem(A)

11 When they came near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead of him. He said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it, and bring it. If anyone asks you what you are doing, say that the Lord needs it. That person will send it here at once.”

The disciples found the young donkey in the street. It was tied to the door of a house. As they were untying it, some men standing there asked them, “Why are you untying that donkey?” The disciples answered them as Jesus had told them. So the men let them go.

They brought the donkey to Jesus, put their coats on it, and he sat on it. Many spread their coats on the road. Others cut leafy branches in the fields and spread them on the road. Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting,

“Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed is our ancestor David’s kingdom that is coming!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

11 Jesus came into Jerusalem and went into the temple courtyard, where he looked around at everything. Since it was already late, he went out with the twelve apostles to Bethany.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree(B)

12 The next day, when they left Bethany, Jesus became hungry. 13 In the distance he saw a fig tree with leaves. He went to see if he could find any figs on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves because it wasn’t the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again!” His disciples heard this.

Jesus Throws Out the Moneychangers(C)

15 When they came to Jerusalem, Jesus went into the temple courtyard and began to throw out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the moneychangers’ tables and the chairs of those who sold pigeons. 16 He would not let anyone carry anything across the temple courtyard.

17 Then he taught them by saying, “Scripture says, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a gathering place for thieves.”

18 When the chief priests and the experts in Moses’ Teachings heard him, they looked for a way to kill him. They were afraid of him because he amazed all the crowds with his teaching.

19 (Every evening Jesus and his disciples would leave the city.)

The Fig Tree Dries Up(D)

20 While Jesus and his disciples were walking early in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up. 21 Peter remembered ⌞what Jesus had said⌟, so he said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has dried up.”

22 Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God! 23 I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn’t doubt but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will be done for him. 24 That’s why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours. 25 Whenever you pray, forgive anything you have against anyone. Then your Father in heaven will forgive your failures.” [a]

Jesus’ Authority Challenged(E)

27 Jesus and his disciples returned to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple courtyard, the chief priests, the experts in Moses’ Teachings, and the leaders came to him. 28 They asked him, “What gives you the right to do these things? Who told you that you could do this?”

29 Jesus said to them, “I’ll ask you a question. Answer me, and then I’ll tell you why I have the right to do these things. 30 Did John’s right to baptize come from heaven or from humans? Answer me!”

31 They discussed this among themselves. They said, “If we say, ‘from heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘from humans,’ ⌞then what will happen⌟?” They were afraid of the people. All the people thought of John as a true prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Jesus told them, “Then I won’t tell you why I have the right to do these things.”

La entrada triunfal en Jerusalén

(Mt. 21.1-11; Lc. 19.28-40; Jn. 12.12-19)

11 Cuando se acercaban a Jerusalén, junto a Betfagé y a Betania, frente al monte de los Olivos, Jesús envió dos de sus discípulos, y les dijo: Id a la aldea que está enfrente de vosotros, y luego que entréis en ella, hallaréis un pollino atado, en el cual ningún hombre ha montado; desatadlo y traedlo. Y si alguien os dijere: ¿Por qué hacéis eso? decid que el Señor lo necesita, y que luego lo devolverá. Fueron, y hallaron el pollino atado afuera a la puerta, en el recodo del camino, y lo desataron. Y unos de los que estaban allí les dijeron: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino? Ellos entonces les dijeron como Jesús había mandado; y los dejaron. Y trajeron el pollino a Jesús, y echaron sobre él sus mantos, y se sentó sobre él. También muchos tendían sus mantos por el camino, y otros cortaban ramas de los árboles, y las tendían por el camino. Y los que iban delante y los que venían detrás daban voces, diciendo: ¡Hosanna!(A) ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor!(B) 10 ¡Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene! ¡Hosanna en las alturas!

11 Y entró Jesús en Jerusalén, y en el templo; y habiendo mirado alrededor todas las cosas, como ya anochecía, se fue a Betania con los doce.

Maldición de la higuera estéril

(Mt. 21.18-19)

12 Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, tuvo hambre. 13 Y viendo de lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, fue a ver si tal vez hallaba en ella algo; pero cuando llegó a ella, nada halló sino hojas, pues no era tiempo de higos. 14 Entonces Jesús dijo a la higuera: Nunca jamás coma nadie fruto de ti. Y lo oyeron sus discípulos.

Purificación del templo

(Mt. 21.12-17; Lc. 19.45-48; Jn. 2.13-22)

15 Vinieron, pues, a Jerusalén; y entrando Jesús en el templo, comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían y compraban en el templo; y volcó las mesas de los cambistas, y las sillas de los que vendían palomas; 16 y no consentía que nadie atravesase el templo llevando utensilio alguno. 17 Y les enseñaba, diciendo: ¿No está escrito: Mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todas las naciones(C)? Mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.(D) 18 Y lo oyeron los escribas y los principales sacerdotes, y buscaban cómo matarle; porque le tenían miedo, por cuanto todo el pueblo estaba admirado de su doctrina. 19 Pero al llegar la noche, Jesús salió de la ciudad.

La higuera maldecida se seca

(Mt. 21.19-22)

20 Y pasando por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces. 21 Entonces Pedro, acordándose, le dijo: Maestro, mira, la higuera que maldijiste se ha secado. 22 Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Tened fe en Dios. 23 Porque de cierto os digo que cualquiera que dijere a este monte: Quítate y échate en el mar, y no dudare en su corazón, sino creyere que será hecho lo que dice, lo que diga le será hecho.(E) 24 Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que pidiereis orando, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá. 25 Y cuando estéis orando, perdonad, si tenéis algo contra alguno, para que también vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdone a vosotros vuestras ofensas. 26 Porque si vosotros no perdonáis, tampoco vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdonará vuestras ofensas.(F)

La autoridad de Jesús

(Mt. 21.23-27; Lc. 20.1-8)

27 Volvieron entonces a Jerusalén; y andando él por el templo, vinieron a él los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos, 28 y le dijeron: ¿Con qué autoridad haces estas cosas, y quién te dio autoridad para hacer estas cosas? 29 Jesús, respondiendo, les dijo: Os haré yo también una pregunta; respondedme, y os diré con qué autoridad hago estas cosas. 30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, o de los hombres? Respondedme. 31 Entonces ellos discutían entre sí, diciendo: Si decimos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis? 32 ¿Y si decimos, de los hombres…? Pero temían al pueblo, pues todos tenían a Juan como un verdadero profeta. 33 Así que, respondiendo, dijeron a Jesús: No sabemos. Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Tampoco yo os digo con qué autoridad hago estas cosas.

11 Когда приблизились к Иерусалиму, к Виффагии и Вифании, к горе Елеонской, [Иисус] посылает двух из учеников Своих

и говорит им: пойдите в селение, которое прямо перед вами; входя в него, тотчас найдете привязанного молодого осла, на которого никто из людей не садился; отвязав его, приведите.

И если кто скажет вам: что вы это делаете? --отвечайте, что он надобен Господу; и тотчас пошлет его сюда.

Они пошли, и нашли молодого осла, привязанного у ворот на улице, и отвязали его.

И некоторые из стоявших там говорили им: что делаете? [зачем] отвязываете осленка?

Они отвечали им, как повелел Иисус; и те отпустили их.

И привели осленка к Иисусу, и возложили на него одежды свои; [Иисус] сел на него.

Многие же постилали одежды свои по дороге; а другие резали ветви с дерев и постилали по дороге.

И предшествовавшие и сопровождавшие восклицали: осанна! благословен Грядущий во имя Господне!

10 благословенно грядущее во имя Господа царство отца нашего Давида! осанна в вышних!

11 И вошел Иисус в Иерусалим и в храм; и, осмотрев всё, как время уже было позднее, вышел в Вифанию с двенадцатью.

12 На другой день, когда они вышли из Вифании, Он взалкал;

13 и, увидев издалека смоковницу, покрытую листьями, пошел, не найдет ли чего на ней; но, придя к ней, ничего не нашел, кроме листьев, ибо еще не время было [собирания] смокв.

14 И сказал ей Иисус: отныне да не вкушает никто от тебя плода вовек! И слышали то ученики Его.

15 Пришли в Иерусалим. Иисус, войдя в храм, начал выгонять продающих и покупающих в храме; и столы меновщиков и скамьи продающих голубей опрокинул;

16 и не позволял, чтобы кто пронес через храм какую-либо вещь.

17 И учил их, говоря: не написано ли: дом Мой домом молитвы наречется для всех народов? а вы сделали его вертепом разбойников.

18 Услышали [это] книжники и первосвященники, и искали, как бы погубить Его, ибо боялись Его, потому что весь народ удивлялся учению Его.

19 Когда же стало поздно, Он вышел вон из города.

20 Поутру, проходя мимо, увидели, что смоковница засохла до корня.

21 И, вспомнив, Петр говорит Ему: Равви! посмотри, смоковница, которую Ты проклял, засохла.

22 Иисус, отвечая, говорит им:

23 имейте веру Божию, ибо истинно говорю вам, если кто скажет горе сей: поднимись и ввергнись в море, и не усомнится в сердце своем, но поверит, что сбудется по словам его, --будет ему, что ни скажет.

24 Потому говорю вам: всё, чего ни будете просить в молитве, верьте, что получите, --и будет вам.

25 И когда стоите на молитве, прощайте, если что имеете на кого, дабы и Отец ваш Небесный простил вам согрешения ваши.

26 Если же не прощаете, то и Отец ваш Небесный не простит вам согрешений ваших.

27 Пришли опять в Иерусалим. И когда Он ходил в храме, подошли к Нему первосвященники и книжники, и старейшины

28 и говорили Ему: какою властью Ты это делаешь? и кто Тебе дал власть делать это?

29 Иисус сказал им в ответ: спрошу и Я вас об одном, отвечайте Мне; [тогда] и Я скажу вам, какою властью это делаю.

30 Крещение Иоанново с небес было, или от человеков? отвечайте Мне.

31 Они рассуждали между собою: если скажем: с небес, --то Он скажет: почему же вы не поверили ему?

32 а сказать: от человеков--боялись народа, потому что все полагали, что Иоанн точно был пророк.

33 И сказали в ответ Иисусу: не знаем. Тогда Иисус сказал им в ответ: и Я не скажу вам, какою властью это делаю.
