骑驴进耶路撒冷

11 耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷,快到橄榄山附近的伯法其和伯大尼两个村庄时,祂派了两个门徒, 对他们说:“你们去前面的村庄,一进村就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的驴驹拴在那里,你们把它解开牵来。 若有人问你们为什么这样做,就说,‘主要用它,很快会把它送回来。’” 他们进了村子,果然看见有一头驴驹拴在街道旁一户人家的门外,就上前解开它。 旁边站着的几个人就问他们:“你们为什么要解开这头驴驹?”

门徒依照耶稣的吩咐回答,那些人就让他们牵走了。 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣面前,将自己的外衣搭在驴背上,耶稣就骑了上去。 很多人把衣服铺在路上,有人将田间的树枝砍下来铺在路上。 大家前呼后拥,高声欢呼:

“和散那[a]
奉主名来的当受称颂!
10 那将要来临的我祖大卫的国度当受称颂!
和散那归于至高之处的上帝!”

11 耶稣进了耶路撒冷,来到圣殿,巡视各处。那时天色已晚,耶稣便和十二门徒出城前往伯大尼。

咒诅无花果树

12 第二天,他们离开伯大尼后,耶稣饿了。 13 祂远远看见有一棵枝叶茂盛的无花果树,就走过去找果子吃。到了树下,却什么也找不到,只有满树的叶子,因为当时不是收无花果的季节。 14 祂对那棵树说:“愿无人再吃你的果子!”祂的门徒都听见了这句话。

洁净圣殿

15 他们来到耶路撒冷后,耶稣进入圣殿,赶走了里面做买卖的人,推翻了兑换钱币之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子, 16 不准人抬着货物穿过圣殿。 17 祂教导他们说:“圣经上不是记载‘我的殿必称为万民祷告的殿’吗?你们竟把它变成了贼窝。”

18 祭司长和律法教师听到这番话后,就策划如何杀害耶稣,只是有些怕祂,因为百姓都对祂的教导感到惊奇。 19 到了傍晚,耶稣和门徒去了城外。

无花果树的教训

20 早上,他们又经过那棵无花果树,看见它连根都枯了。 21 彼得想起昨天发生的事,就对耶稣说:“老师,你看!昨天你咒诅的无花果树已经枯了。”

22 耶稣说:“要对上帝有信心。 23 我实在告诉你们,不论何人,只要有信心,毫不疑惑,就是对这座山说,‘从这里挪开,投进大海里!’也必定为他成就。 24 所以我告诉你们,你们祷告时无论求什么,只要相信已经得到了,就必得到。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪了你们,就要饶恕他。这样,你们天上的父也会饶恕你们的过犯。 26 你们如果不饶恕别人,你们天上的父也不会饶恕你们的过犯。[b]

质问耶稣的权柄

27 他们再次回到耶路撒冷。耶稣在圣殿里行走的时候,祭司长、律法教师和长老上前质问祂: 28 “你凭什么权柄做这些事?谁授权给你了?”

29 耶稣说:“我也要问你们一个问题,你们回答了,我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的还是从人来的?请回答我!”

31 他们彼此议论说:“如果我们说‘是从天上来的’,祂一定会问,‘那你们为什么不信他?’ 32 如果我们说‘是从人来的’,又怕触怒百姓,因为他们都相信约翰真的是先知。” 33 于是,他们回答说:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。”

και φερουσιν τον πωλον προς τον ιησουν και επιβαλλουσιν αυτω τα ιματια αυτων και εκαθισεν επ αυτον

και πολλοι τα ιματια αυτων εστρωσαν εις την οδον αλλοι δε στιβαδας κοψαντες εκ των αγρων

30 το βαπτισμα το ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων αποκριθητε μοι

31 και διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι [ουν] ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω

32 αλλα ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων εφοβουντο τον οχλον απαντες γαρ ειχον τον ιωαννην οντως οτι προφητης ην

33 και αποκριθεντες τω ιησου λεγουσιν ουκ οιδαμεν και ο ιησους λεγει αυτοις ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω

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.”
