The Triumphal Entry
11 (A)And as they *approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and (B)Bethany, near (C)the Mount of Olives, He *sent two of His disciples, 2 and *said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he [a]will send it back here.” 4 They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they *untied it. 5 And some of the bystanders were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them just as Jesus had said, and they gave them permission. 7 (D)They *brought the colt to Jesus and *put their cloaks on it; and He sat on it. 8 And many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went in front and those who followed were shouting:
“[b]Hosanna!
(E)Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David;
[c]Hosanna (F)in the highest!”
11 (G)And Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple area; and after looking around at everything, (H)He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.
12 (I)On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry. 13 Seeing from a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for 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 were listening.
Jesus Drives Money Changers from the Temple
15 (J)Then they *came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple area and began to drive out those who were selling and buying on the temple grounds, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling [d]doves; 16 and He would not allow anyone to carry [e]merchandise through the temple grounds. 17 And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written: ‘(K)My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? (L)But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard this, and they (M)began seeking how to put Him to death; for they were afraid of Him, because all (N)the crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19 And (O)whenever evening came, [f]they would leave the city.
20 (P)As they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. 21 And being reminded, Peter *said to Him, “(Q)Rabbi, look, the fig tree that You cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered and *said to them, “(R)Have faith in God. 23 (S)Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted to him. 24 Therefore, I say to you, (T)all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you. 25 And whenever you (U)stand praying, (V)forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you for your [g]offenses. 26 [[h](W)But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your [i]offenses.”]
Jesus’ Authority Questioned
27 And they *came again to Jerusalem. (X)And as He was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders *came to Him, 28 and began saying to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?” 29 But Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me.” 31 And they began considering the implications among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ 32 But should we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the [j]people, for they all considered John to have been a real prophet. 33 Answering Jesus, they *said, “We do not know.” And Jesus *said to them, “Neither am I telling you by what authority I do these things.”

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, 2 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. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna![a]”
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.”

La entrada triunfal en Jerusalén
11 Cuando llegaron cerca de Jerusalén, junto a Betfagé y Betania, frente al monte de los Olivos, Jesús envió a dos de sus discípulos 2 y les dijo:
—Vayan a la aldea que está frente a ustedes y, cuando hayan entrado allí, en seguida hallarán atado un borriquillo sobre el cual ningún hombre ha montado. Desátenlo y tráiganlo. 3 Y si alguien les dice: “¿Por qué hacen eso?”, díganle: “El Señor lo necesita, y luego lo enviará aquí otra vez”.
4 Ellos fueron y hallaron el borriquillo atado a la puerta, afuera, en la esquina de dos calles, y lo desataron. 5 Algunos de los que estaban allí les dijeron:
—¿Qué hacen desatando al borriquillo?
6 Ellos les dijeron tal como Jesús les había dicho, y los dejaron ir.
7 Trajeron el borriquillo a Jesús y echaron sobre él sus mantos, y se sentó sobre él. 8 Muchos tendieron sus mantos por el camino, y otros cortaban ramas de los árboles[a]. 9 Los que iban delante y los que lo seguían aclamaban:
—¡Hosanna! ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor![b]. 10 ¡Bendito el reino venidero de nuestro padre David! ¡Hosanna en las alturas!
11 Entró Jesús en Jerusalén, en el templo, y habiendo mirado todo en derredor, como la hora ya era tarde, salió para Betania con los doce.
Jesús y la higuera sin fruto
12 Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, tuvo hambre. 13 Y viendo desde lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, se acercó para ver si hallaba en ella algo. Cuando fue a ella, no encontró nada más que hojas porque no era tiempo de higos. 14 Entonces Jesús dijo a la higuera: “¡Nunca jamás coma nadie de tu fruto!”. Y lo oyeron sus discípulos.
Jesús purifica el templo
15 Llegaron a Jerusalén y Jesús entró en el templo. Y comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían y a los que compraban en el templo. Volcó las mesas de los cambistas y las sillas de los que vendían palomas, 16 y no consentía que nadie cruzara por el templo llevando utensilio alguno. 17 Y enseñaba diciendo: “¿No está escrito que mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todas las naciones?[c] Pero ustedes la han hecho cueva de ladrones”[d].
18 Lo oyeron los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y buscaban cómo matarle; porque le tenían miedo pues todo el pueblo estaba maravillado de su doctrina. 19 Y al llegar la noche Jesús y los suyos salieron de la ciudad.
Lección de la higuera seca
20 Por la mañana, pasando por allí vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces. 21 Entonces Pedro, acordándose, le dijo:
—Rabí, he aquí la higuera que maldijiste se ha secado.
22 Respondiendo Jesús les dijo:
—Tengan[e] fe en Dios. 23 De cierto les digo que cualquiera que diga a este monte: “Quítate y arrójate al mar”, y que no dude en su corazón sino que crea que será hecho lo que dice, le será hecho. 24 Por esta razón les digo que todo por lo cual oran y piden, crean que lo han recibido y les será hecho. 25 Y cuando se pongan de pie para orar, si tienen algo contra alguien, perdónenlo para que su Padre que está en los cielos también les perdone a ustedes sus ofensas. 26 [f].
La autoridad de Jesús
27 Volvieron a Jerusalén. Luego, mientras él andaba por el templo, vinieron a él los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos, 28 y le decían:
—¿Con qué autoridad haces estas cosas? ¿O quién te dio la autoridad para hacer estas cosas?
29 Entonces Jesús les dijo:
—Yo les haré una pregunta. Respóndanme, y yo les diré con qué autoridad hago estas cosas: 30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo o de los hombres? Respóndanme.
31 Entonces ellos razonaban entre sí diciendo:
—Si decimos “del cielo”, dirá: “¿Por qué, pues, no le creyeron?”. 32 Pero si decimos “de los hombres…”.
Temían al pueblo, porque todos consideraban que verdaderamente Juan era profeta. 33 Entonces, respondiendo a Jesús, dijeron:
—No sabemos.
Y Jesús les dijo:
—Tampoco yo les digo con qué autoridad hago estas cosas.
