光榮進聖城

11 當耶穌和門徒們臨近耶路撒冷,到橄欖山附近的伯法其伯大尼的時候,耶穌派了他的兩個門徒, 對他們說:「你們到對面的村子裡去。你們一進村,就會發現一頭驢駒拴在那裡,是從來沒有人騎過的。你們把牠解開牽過來。 如果有人問你們為什麼這麼做,你們就說『主需要牠[a],會很快把牠送回這裡來的。』」

兩個門徒去了,果然發現一頭驢駒拴在岔路口一個門外,他們就解開驢駒。 站在那裡的一些人問:「你們解開驢駒做什麼呢?」 他們就照著耶穌所吩咐的回答,那些人就讓他們牽走[b]了。 他們牽著驢駒到耶穌那裡,把自己的外衣墊在驢駒上,耶穌就騎了上去。

許多人把自己的外衣鋪在路上,也有人從田野裡[c]砍來樹枝鋪在路上[d] 前行後隨的人都呼喊:

「和散那!
奉主名而來的那一位——是蒙祝福的![e]
10 [f]將要來的,我們先祖大衛的國度——是蒙祝福的!
在至高之處——和散那!」

11 耶穌進了耶路撒冷,來到聖殿,環視周圍的一切。天已經晚了,他就與十二使徒[g]一同離開,往伯大尼去了。

不結果子的無花果樹

12 第二天,當他們離開伯大尼的時候,耶穌餓了。 13 他遠遠地看見一棵長滿葉子的無花果樹,就上前去,要看看樹上是否有什麼。他來到樹下,除了葉子什麼也找不到,因為不是結無花果的季節。 14 於是他對那棵樹說:「永遠不再有任何人吃到你的果子了!」他的門徒都聽見了。

潔淨聖殿

15 他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌進了聖殿,開始把那些在聖殿裡做買賣的人趕出去。他推翻了兌換銀幣之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子, 16 也不准任何人搬運東西穿過聖殿。

17 耶穌教導他們說:「經上不是記著『我的殿將被稱為萬國禱告的殿』[h]嗎?而你們卻使它成為賊窩了![i] 18 祭司長們和經文士們聽了,就圖謀怎樣來除滅耶穌。原來他們怕耶穌,因為眾人都對他的教導驚嘆不已。

19 到了傍晚的時候,耶穌和門徒們就到城外去。

無花果樹枯萎

20 清晨,他們路過那棵無花果樹的時候,看見它連根都枯萎了。 21 彼得想起來就對耶穌說:「拉比,你看!你所詛咒的無花果樹枯萎了!」

22 耶穌對他們說:「你們當對神有信心。 23 我確實地告訴你們:無論誰對這座山說『願你被挪開,被丟進海裡去!』只要他心裡不疑惑,相信自己所說的會成就,事情[j]就將為他成就。 24 所以,我告訴你們:凡是你們所禱告和祈求的,當相信已經得著了[k]。這樣,事情就將為你們成就。 25 當你們站著禱告的時候,如果向什麼人懷怨,就要饒恕他。這樣,你們在天上的父也會饒恕你們的過犯。 26 你們如果不饒恕別人,你們在天上的父也不會饒恕你們的過犯。[l]

質疑耶穌的權柄

27 他們又來到耶路撒冷。當耶穌在聖殿裡行走的時候,祭司長們、經文士們和長老們來到他那裡。 28 他們問:「你憑什麼權柄做這些事?誰給你這權柄,讓你做這些事?」

29 耶穌對他們說:「我要問你們一個問題,你們回答我,我就告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。 30 約翰的洗禮是來自天上,還是來自人間呢?你們回答我!」

31 他們就彼此討論,說:「如果我們說『是來自天上』,他就會問『那麼你們為什麼不相信他呢?』 32 可是我們能說『是來自人間』嗎?」原來他們怕民眾,因為大家都認為約翰的確是先知。 33 於是他們回答耶穌,說:「我們不知道。」

耶穌就對他們說:「我也不告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」

La entrada triunfal

11 (A)Cuando se acercaban* a Jerusalén, por Betfagé y Betania(B), cerca del monte de los Olivos(C), envió* a dos de sus discípulos, y les dijo*: Id a la aldea enfrente de vosotros, y tan pronto como entréis en ella, encontraréis un pollino atado en el cual nadie[a] se ha montado todavía; desatadlo y traedlo. Y si alguien os dice: «¿Por qué hacéis eso?», decid: «El Señor lo necesita»; y enseguida lo devolverá[b] acá. Ellos fueron y encontraron un pollino atado junto a la puerta, afuera en la calle, y lo desataron*. Y algunos de los que estaban allí les dijeron[c]: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino? Ellos les respondieron tal como Jesús les había dicho, y les dieron permiso. (D)Entonces trajeron* el pollino a Jesús y echaron encima sus mantos, y Jesús se sentó sobre él. Y muchos tendieron sus mantos en el camino, y otros tendieron ramas que habían cortado de los campos. Los que iban delante y los que le seguían, gritaban:

¡Hosanna!
Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor(E);
10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene;
¡Hosanna en las alturas(F)!

11 Y entró en Jerusalén, llegó al templo(G), y después de mirar todo a su alrededor, salió para Betania(H) con los doce, siendo ya avanzada la hora.

La higuera estéril

12 (I)Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, Jesús tuvo hambre. 13 Y viendo de lejos una higuera con hojas, fue a ver si quizá pudiera hallar algo en ella; cuando llegó a ella, no encontró más que hojas, porque no era tiempo de higos. 14 Y Jesús, hablando[d] a la higuera, le dijo: Nunca jamás coma nadie fruto de ti. Y sus discípulos le estaban escuchando.

Jesús echa a los mercaderes del templo

15 (J)Llegaron* a Jerusalén; y entrando Jesús en el templo comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían y compraban en el templo, volcó las mesas de los cambistas y los asientos de los que vendían las palomas; 16 y no permitía que nadie transportara objeto alguno a través del templo. 17 Y les enseñaba, diciendo[e]: ¿No está escrito: «Mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todas las naciones(K)»? Pero vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones(L). 18 Los principales sacerdotes y los escribas oyeron esto y buscaban cómo destruirle(M), porque le tenían miedo, pues toda la multitud estaba admirada de su enseñanza(N).

19 Y cuando atardecía, solían salir[f] fuera de la ciudad(O).

El poder de la fe

20 (P)Por la mañana, cuando pasaban, vieron la higuera seca desde las raíces. 21 Entonces Pedro, acordándose, le dijo*: Rabí(Q), mira, la higuera que maldijiste se ha secado. 22 Y Jesús respondió*, diciéndoles: Tened fe en Dios(R). 23 En verdad os digo que cualquiera que diga a este monte(S): «Quítate y arrójate al mar», y no dude en su corazón, sino crea que lo que dice va a suceder, le será concedido. 24 Por eso os digo que todas las cosas por las que oréis y pidáis, creed que ya las habéis recibido, y os serán concedidas(T). 25 Y cuando estéis[g] orando(U), perdonad si tenéis algo contra alguien, para que también vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdone vuestras transgresiones(V). 26 [h]Pero si vosotros no perdonáis, tampoco vuestro Padre que está en los cielos perdonará vuestras transgresiones(W).

La autoridad de Jesús puesta en duda

27 Llegaron* de nuevo a Jerusalén; (X)y cuando Jesús andaba por el templo, se le acercaron* los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos, 28 y le dijeron: ¿Con qué autoridad haces estas cosas, o quién te dio la autoridad para hacer esto? 29 Y Jesús les dijo: Yo también os haré una pregunta[i]; respondédmela, y entonces os diré con qué autoridad hago estas cosas. 30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo o de los hombres? Respondedme. 31 Y ellos discurrían entre sí, diciendo: Si decimos: «Del cielo», Él dirá: «Entonces, ¿por qué no le creísteis?». 32 ¿Mas si decimos: «De los hombres»? Pero temían a la multitud, porque todos consideraban que Juan verdaderamente había sido un profeta. 33 Y respondiendo a Jesús, dijeron*: No sabemos. Y Jesús les dijo*: Tampoco yo os diré[j] con qué autoridad hago estas cosas.

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)

11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany(C) at the Mount of Olives,(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.(E) Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”

They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,

“Hosanna![a]

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b](G)

10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”

“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”(H)

11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(I)

Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts(J)(K)(L)

12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.(M) 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]?(N) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d](O)

18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(P) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(Q)

19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples[e] went out of the city.(R)

20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(S) look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[f] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.(T) 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.(U) 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(V) [26] [g]

The Authority of Jesus Questioned(W)

27 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28 “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”

29 Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”

31 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)(X)

33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

11 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
