11 ¶ Yo t'ap pwoche bò Jerizalèm, bò bouk Betfaje ak Betani, yo te rive sou mòn Oliv l'a. Lè sa a, Jezi voye de nan disip li yo.

Li di yo: -Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare. Pesonn poko janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.

Nenpòt moun ki mande nou poukisa n'ap fè sa, nou mèt reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li. L'ap voye ti bourik la tounen touswit.

Lè disip yo ale, yo jwenn jenn ti bourik la mare deyò nan lari a, devan pòt yon kay. Yo lage li.

Kèk moun ki te la di yo konsa: -Sa n'ap fè la a? Pouki n'ap lage ti bourik la?

Disip yo reponn jan Jezi te di yo reponn lan. Epi moun yo kite yo ale.

Yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi; yo mete rad sou do li, epi Jezi moute chita.

Anpil moun te tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an. Gen lòt ki te koupe branch bwa nan jaden pou mete atè nan chemen an.

Ni moun ki t'ap mache devan Jezi yo, ni moun ki t'ap mache dèyè l' yo, yo tout t'ap rele byen fò: -Lwanj pou Bondye! Benediksyon pou moun ki vini nan non Mèt la.

10 Wi, benediksyon pou gouvènman k'ap vini an, pou gouvènman wa David, papa nou. Lwanj pou Bondye jouk anwo nan syèl la!

11 Jezi antre lavil Jerizalèm; li ale nan tanp lan. Li voye je l' sou tout bagay. Apre sa, li ale Betani avèk douz disip li yo paske li te fin ta.

12 ¶ Nan denmen, antan yo t'ap soti Betani, Jezi te grangou.

13 Depi byen lwen, li wè yon pye fig frans ki te plen fèy. li al wè si li ta jwenn kèk fig frans sou li. Men, lè li rive kote l', se fèy ase li jwenn, paske se pa t' sezon fig frans.

14 Lè sa a, Jezi pale ak pye fig frans lan, li di li: -Pesonn p'ap janm manje fig ou donnen ankò. Disip yo te tande sa l' te di a.

15 Apre sa, yo rive Jerizalèm, Jezi antre nan tanp lan. Li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann ak tout moun ki t'ap achte nan tanp lan. Li chavire tab moun ki t'ap chanje lajan yo ansanm ak chèz moun ki t'ap vann pijon yo.

16 Li pa t' pèmèt pesonn travèse tanp lan ak bagay nan men yo.

17 Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay, li di yo: -Men sa ki ekri, pa vre: y'a rele kay mwen an kay kote moun tout nasyon ka vin lapriyè. Men nou menm, nou fè l' tounen yon kachèt pou vòlò.

18 Lè chèf prèt yo avèk dirèktè lalwa yo tande sa, yo t'ap chache yon jan pou yo fè touye l'; paske yo te vin pè l', lèfini, pawòl li t'ap moutre moun yo te aji anpil sou foul moun yo.

19 Lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi soti kite lavil la ansanm ak disip li yo.

20 Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, antan yo t'ap pase sou wout la, disip yo wè pye fig frans la cheche jouk nan rasen.

21 Pyè vin chonje sak te pase. Li di Jezi konsa: -Mèt, gade pye fig frans ou te madichonnen an. Li cheche wi.

22 Lè sa a, Jezi pran lapawòl, li di yo: -Se pou nou toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye.

23 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si yon moun di mòn sa a: Wete kò ou la, al jete ou nan lanmè, si l' pa gen doutans nan kè l' menm, si l' gen fèm konviksyon sa l' di a gen pou rive, la wè l' rive vre.

24 Se pou sa mwen di nou: Tou sa n'ap mande lè n'ap lapriyè, si nou gen fèm konviksyon nou resevwa l' deja, n'a wè sa rive vre.

25 Lè nou kanpe poun lapriyè, si nou gen yon moun nan kè nou, padonnen l', pou Papa nou ki nan syèl la ka padonnen peche nou yo tou.

26 Men, si nou pa padonnen lòt moun yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la p'ap padonnen peche nou yo tou.

27 ¶ Se konsa, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Pandan Jezi t'ap pwonmennen nan tanp lan, chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf fanmi yo te vin bò kote li.

28 Yo di l' konsa: -Ki dwa ou genyen pou w'ap fè tout bagay sa yo? Kilès ki ba ou otorite pou fè yo?

29 Jezi reponn yo: -Mwen pral poze nou yon sèl keksyon tou. Si nou reponn mwen, m'a di nou ak ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.

30 Ki moun ki te voye Jan batize moun: Bondye osinon moun? Reponn mwen non.

31 Men, yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Si nou reponn: Se Bondye ki voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè li.

32 Si nou reponn: Se moun ki voye l'... oum! Yo te pè pèp la, paske tout moun sa yo te pran Jan Batis pou yon bon pwofèt.

33 Lè sa a yo reponn Jezi: -Nou pa konnen. Jezi di yo: -Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite mwen fè bagay sa yo.

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.
