騎驢進耶路撒冷

11 耶穌和門徒將近耶路撒冷,快到橄欖山附近的伯法其和伯大尼兩個村莊時,祂派了兩個門徒, 對他們說:「你們去前面的村莊,一進村就會看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的驢駒拴在那裡,你們把牠解開牽來。 若有人問你們為什麼這樣做,就說,『主要用牠,很快會把牠送回來。』」 他們進了村子,果然看見有一頭驢駒拴在街道旁一戶人家的門外,就上前解開牠。 旁邊站著的幾個人就問他們:「你們為什麼要解開這頭驢駒?」

門徒依照耶穌的吩咐回答,那些人就讓他們牽走了。 他們把驢駒牽到耶穌面前,將自己的外衣搭在驢背上,耶穌就騎了上去。 很多人把衣服鋪在路上,有人將田間的樹枝砍下來鋪在路上。 大家前呼後擁,高聲歡呼:

「和散那[a]
奉主名來的當受稱頌!
10 那將要來臨的我祖大衛的國度當受稱頌!
和散那歸於至高之處的上帝!」

11 耶穌進了耶路撒冷,來到聖殿,巡視各處。那時天色已晚,耶穌便和十二門徒出城前往伯大尼。

咒詛無花果樹

12 第二天,他們離開伯大尼後,耶穌餓了。 13 祂遠遠看見有一棵枝葉茂盛的無花果樹,就走過去找果子吃。到了樹下,卻什麼也找不到,只有滿樹的葉子,因為當時不是收無花果的季節。 14 祂對那棵樹說:「願無人再吃你的果子!」祂的門徒都聽見了這句話。

潔淨聖殿

15 他們來到耶路撒冷後,耶穌進入聖殿,趕走了裡面做買賣的人,推翻了兌換錢幣之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子, 16 不准人抬著貨物穿過聖殿。 17 祂教導他們說:「聖經上不是記載『我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿』嗎?你們竟把它變成了賊窩。」

18 祭司長和律法教師聽到這番話後,就策劃如何殺害耶穌,只是有些怕祂,因為百姓都對祂的教導感到驚奇。 19 到了傍晚,耶穌和門徒去了城外。

無花果樹的教訓

20 早上,他們又經過那棵無花果樹,看見它連根都枯了。 21 彼得想起昨天發生的事,就對耶穌說:「老師,你看!昨天你咒詛的無花果樹已經枯了。」

22 耶穌說:「要對上帝有信心。 23 我實在告訴你們,不論何人,只要有信心,毫不疑惑,就是對這座山說,『從這裡挪開,投進大海裡!』也必定為他成就。 24 所以我告訴你們,你們禱告時無論求什麼,只要相信已經得到了,就必得到。 25 你們站著禱告的時候,若想起有人得罪了你們,就要饒恕他。這樣,你們天上的父也會饒恕你們的過犯。 26 你們如果不饒恕別人,你們天上的父也不會饒恕你們的過犯。[b]

質問耶穌的權柄

27 他們再次回到耶路撒冷。耶穌在聖殿裡行走的時候,祭司長、律法教師和長老上前質問祂: 28 「你憑什麼權柄做這些事?誰授權給你了?」

29 耶穌說:「我也要問你們一個問題,你們回答了,我就告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。 30 約翰的洗禮是從天上來的還是從人來的?請回答我!」

31 他們彼此議論說:「如果我們說『是從天上來的』,祂一定會問,『那你們為什麼不信他?』 32 如果我們說『是從人來的』,又怕觸怒百姓,因為他們都相信約翰真的是先知。」 33 於是,他們回答說:「我們不知道。」耶穌說:「我也不告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」

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.”

主骑驴进耶路撒冷

11 耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其伯大尼,在橄榄山那里,耶稣就打发两个门徒, 对他们说:“你们往对面村子里去,一进去的时候,必看见一匹驴驹拴在那里,是从来没有人骑过的,可以解开牵来。 若有人对你们说:‘为什么做这事?’你们就说:‘主要用它。’那人必立时让你们牵来。” 他们去了,便看见一匹驴驹拴在门外街道上,就把它解开。 在那里站着的人有几个说:“你们解驴驹做什么?” 门徒照着耶稣所说的回答,那些人就任凭他们牵去了。 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶稣就骑上。 有许多人把衣服铺在路上,也有人把田间的树枝砍下来铺在路上。 前行后随的人都喊着说:“和散那[a]!奉主名来的是应当称颂的! 10 那将要来的我祖大卫之国是应当称颂的!高高在上和散那!” 11 耶稣进了耶路撒冷,入了圣殿,周围看了各样物件。天色已晚,就和十二个门徒出城,往伯大尼去了。

无花果树被咒诅

12 第二天,他们从伯大尼出来,耶稣饿了。远远地看见一棵无花果树,树上有叶子,就往那里去,或者在树上可以找着什么。 13 到了树下,竟找不着什么,不过有叶子,因为不是收无花果的时候。 14 耶稣就对树说:“从今以后,永没有人吃你的果子!”他的门徒也听见了。

洁净圣殿

15 他们来到耶路撒冷。耶稣进入圣殿,赶出殿里做买卖的人,推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子, 16 也不许人拿着器具从殿里经过。 17 便教训他们,说:“经上不是记着说‘我的殿必称为万国祷告的殿’吗?你们倒使它成为贼窝了!” 18 祭司长和文士听见这话,就想法子要除灭耶稣,却又怕他,因为众人都稀奇他的教训。

19 每天晚上,耶稣出城去。

信心的能力

20 早晨,他们从那里经过,看见无花果树连根都枯干了。 21 彼得想起耶稣的话来,就对他说:“拉比,请看,你所咒诅的无花果树已经枯干了!” 22 耶稣回答说:“你们当信服神。 23 我实在告诉你们:无论何人对这座山说:‘你挪开此地,投在海里!’,他若心里不疑惑,只信他所说的必成,就必给他成了。 24 所以我告诉你们,凡你们祷告祈求的,无论是什么,只要信是得着的,就必得着。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪你们,就当饶恕他,好叫你们在天上的父也饶恕你们的过犯。 26 你们若不饶恕人,你们在天上的父也不饶恕你们的过犯。[b]

辩驳耶稣的权柄

27 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在殿里行走的时候,祭司长和文士并长老进前来, 28 问他说:“你仗着什么权柄做这些事?给你这权柄的是谁呢?” 29 耶稣对他们说:“我要问你们一句话,你们回答我,我就告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的,是从人间来的呢?你们可以回答我。” 31 他们彼此商议说:“我们若说从天上来,他必说:‘这样,你们为什么不信他呢?’ 32 若说从人间来,却又怕百姓,因为众人真以约翰为先知。” 33 于是回答耶稣说:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”

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.

The Triumphal Entry(A)

11 Now (B)when they drew near Jerusalem, to [a]Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

So they went their way, and found [b]the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. (C)And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

“Hosanna!
(D)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
That comes [c]in the name of the Lord!
(E)Hosanna in the highest!”

11 (F)And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

The Fig Tree Withered(G)

12 (H)Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 (I)And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”

And His disciples heard it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple(J)

15 (K)So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold (L)doves. 16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. 17 Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, (M)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a (N)‘den of thieves.’

18 And (O)the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because (P)all the people were astonished at His teaching. 19 When evening had come, He went out of the city.

The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree(Q)

20 (R)Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For (S)assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, (T)whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Forgiveness and Prayer(U)

25 “And whenever you stand praying, (V)if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 [d]But (W)if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Jesus’ Authority Questioned(X)

27 Then they came again to Jerusalem. (Y)And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him. 28 And they said to Him, “By what (Z)authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?”

29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things: 30 The (AA)baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”

31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘From men’ ”—they feared the people, for (AB)all counted John to have been a prophet indeed. 33 So they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.”

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
