骑驴进耶路撒冷(A)

11 他们走近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其和伯大尼,来到橄榄山那里,耶稣派了两个门徒, 对他们说:“你们往对面的村子里去,一进去,就会看见一头小驴拴在那里,是没有人骑过的,把牠解开牵来。 如果有人问你们:‘为甚么这样作?’你们就说:‘主需要牠,并且很快会送还到这里来。’” 门徒去了,就发现一头小驴,拴在门外的街上,就把牠解开。 站在那里的人有的问他们说:“你们为甚么解牠?” 门徒照着耶稣所说的话回答他们,那些人就让他们牵走了。 门徒把小驴牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶稣就骑了上去。 许多人把衣服铺在路上,还有人从田野里砍了些树枝也铺在路上。 前行后随的人都喊着说:

“‘和散那’,

奉主名来的是应当称颂的!

10 那将要来临的,

我们祖先大卫的国是应当称颂的!

高天之上当唱‘和散那’!”

11 耶稣到了耶路撒冷,进入圣殿,察看了一切,因为时候已经不早,就和十二门徒出城往伯大尼去。

咒诅无花果树(B)

12 第二天他们从伯大尼出来,耶稣饿了。 13 他远远看见一棵长满了叶子的无花果树,就走过去,看看是否可以在树上找到甚么。到了树下,除了叶子甚么也找不着,因为这不是收无花果的时候。 14 耶稣对树说:“永远再没有人吃你的果子了!”他的门徒也听见了。

洁净圣殿(C)

15 他们来到耶路撒冷。耶稣进了圣殿,就把殿里作买卖的人赶走,又推倒找换银钱的人的桌子,和卖鸽子的人的凳子; 16 不许人拿着器皿穿过圣殿。 17 他又教训众人说:“经上不是写着

‘我的殿要称为万国祷告的殿’吗?

你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。”

18 祭司长和经学家听见了,就想办法怎样除掉耶稣,却又怕他,因为群众都希奇他的教训。 19 到了晚上,他们就到城外去。

20 早晨,他们经过的时候,看见那棵无花果树连根都枯萎了。 21 彼得想起来就对耶稣说:“拉比,请看,你所咒诅的无花果树,已经枯萎了。” 22 耶稣回答他们:“你们对 神要有信心(“你们对 神要有信心”有些抄本作“如果你们对 神有信心”)。 23 我实在告诉你们,无论甚么人对这座山说‘移开,投到海里’,只要他心里不怀疑,相信他所说的一定能够成就,就必给他成就。 24 所以我告诉你们,凡是你们祷告祈求的,只要相信能够得到,就必得到。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,如果有谁得罪了你们,就该饶恕他,好使你们的天父也饶恕你们的过犯。”(有些抄本有第26节:“如果你们不饶恕人,你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。”)

质问耶稣凭甚么权柄作事(D)

27 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在殿里行走的时候,祭司长、经学家和长老来到他跟前, 28 问他:“你凭甚么权柄作这些事?谁给你权柄作这些事?” 29 耶稣对他们说:“我要问你们一句话,你们回答了我,我就告诉你们我凭甚么权柄作这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的,还是从人来的呢?你们回答我吧。” 31 他们就彼此议论:“如果我们说‘是从天上来的’,他就会说‘那你们为甚么不信他呢?’ 32 如果我们说‘是从人来的’……”他们害怕群众,因为众人都认为约翰的确是先知。 33 于是他们回答耶稣:“我们不知道。”耶稣对他们说:“我也不告诉你们我凭甚么权柄作这些事。”

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.”

11 As they were approaching Yerushalayim, near Beit-Pagei and Beit-Anyah, by the Mount of Olives, Yeshua sent two of his talmidim with these instructions: “Go into the village ahead of you; and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it, and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it,’ and he will send it here right away.”

They went off and found a colt in the street tied in a doorway, and they untied it. The bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” They gave the answer Yeshua had told them to give, and they let them continue. They brought the colt to Yeshua and threw their robes on it, and he sat on it.

Many people carpeted the road with their clothing, while others spread out green branches which they had cut in the fields. Those who were ahead and those behind shouted,

“Please! Deliver us!”[a] [b]

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai!”[c]

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

and,

You in the highest heaven! Please! Deliver us!”[d] [e]

11 Yeshua entered Yerushalayim, went into the Temple courts and took a good look at everything; but since it was now late, he went out with the Twelve to Beit-Anyah.

12 The next day, as they came back from Beit-Anyah, he felt hungry. 13 Spotting in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came up to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it wasn’t fig season. 14 He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And his talmidim heard what he said.

15 On reaching Yerushalayim, he entered the Temple courts and began driving out those who were carrying on business there, both the merchants and their customers. He also knocked over the desks of the money-changers, upset the benches of the pigeon-dealers, 16 and refused to let anyone carry merchandise through the Temple courts. 17 Then, as he taught them, he said, “Isn’t it written in the Tanakh, My house will be called a house of prayer for all the Goyim[f] But you have made it into a den of robbers![g] 18 The head cohanim and the Torah-teachers heard what he said and tried to find a way to do away with him; they were afraid of him, because the crowds were utterly taken by his teaching. 19 When evening came, they left the city.

20 In the morning, as the talmidim passed by, they saw the fig tree withered all the way to its roots. 21 Kefa remembered and said to Yeshua, “Rabbi! Look! The fig tree that you cursed has dried up!” 22 He responded, “Have the kind of trust that comes from God! 23 Yes! I tell you that whoever does not doubt in his heart but trusts that what he says will happen can say to this mountain, ‘Go and throw yourself into the sea!’ and it will be done for him. 24 Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, trust that you are receiving it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive your offenses.” 26 [h]

27 They went back into Yerushalayim; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the head cohanim, the Torah-teachers and the elders; 28 and they said to him, “What s’mikhah do you have that authorizes you to do these things? Who gave you this s’mikhah authorizing you to do them?” 29 Yeshua said to them, “I will ask you just one question: answer me, and I will tell you by what s’mikhah I do these things. 30 The immersion of Yochanan — was it from Heaven or from a human source? Answer me.” 31 They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From Heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘From a human source, . . . ’” — they were afraid of the people, for they all regarded Yochanan as a genuine prophet. 33 So they answered Yeshua, “We don’t know.” “Then,” he replied, “I won’t tell you by what s’mikhah I do these things.”
