Ang Matagumpay na Pagpasok sa Jerusalem(A)
11 Narating nina Jesus ang mga bayan ng Bethfage at Bethania, malapit sa may Bundok ng mga Olibo. Nang papalapit na sila sa Jerusalem, pinauna ni Jesus ang dalawa sa mga alagad 2 at sinabi sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo sa susunod na nayon. Pagpasok na pagpasok, makikita ninyo ang isang batang asno na hindi pa nasasakyan ninuman. Kalagan ninyo iyon at dalhin dito. 3 Kapag may nagtanong kung bakit ninyo kinakalagan iyon, sabihin ninyong iyon ay kailangan ng Panginoon[a] at ibabalik din niya agad.”
4 Kaya't lumakad ang dalawang alagad at nakita nga nila ang batang asno sa tabi ng daan, nakatali ito sa may pinto ng isang bahay. Nang kinakalagan na nila ang hayop, 5 tinanong sila ng ilang nakatayo roon, “Bakit ninyo kinakalagan iyan?”
6 Sumagot sila gaya ng bilin ni Jesus, at hinayaan na silang umalis. 7 Dinala nila kay Jesus ang batang asno. Matapos isapin sa likod nito ang kanilang mga balabal ay sumakay si Jesus. 8 Marami ang naglatag ng kanilang mga balabal sa daan, samantalang ang iba nama'y pumutol ng madahong sanga ng kahoy at iyon ang kanilang inilatag sa daan. 9 Ang(B) mga tao sa unahan at sa hulihan ni Jesus ay sumisigaw ng ganito, “Purihin ang Diyos![b] Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon! 10 Pagpalain ang malapit nang itatatag na kaharian ng ating amang si David! Purihin ang Panginoon sa Kataas-taasan!”
11 Pumunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem at pumasok sa Templo at tiningnan niya ang lahat ng bagay doon. At dahil gumagabi na, lumabas siya at nagbalik sa Bethania na kasama ang Labindalawa.
Sinumpa ang Puno ng Igos(C)
12 Kinabukasan, nang pabalik na sila mula sa Bethania, si Jesus ay nakaramdam ng gutom. 13 Nakita niya sa di-kalayuan ang isang malagong puno ng igos. Nilapitan niya ito upang tingnan kung may bunga. Dahil hindi pa panahon ng igos noon, wala siyang nakita kundi mga dahon lamang. 14 Kaya't sinabi niya sa puno ng igos, “Wala nang makakakain pa ng iyong bunga.” Ang sinabi niyang iyon ay narinig ng kanyang mga alagad.
Pinalayas ang mga Nangangalakal sa Templo(D)
15 Pagdating nila sa Jerusalem, si Jesus ay pumasok sa Templo. Ipinagtabuyan niya ang mga nagbebenta at namimili roon, at ipinagtataob niya ang mga mesa ng mga namamalit ng salapi at ang mga upuan ng mga nagtitinda ng kalapati. 16 Pinagbawalan din niyang tumawid sa patyo ng Templo ang mga may dalang paninda 17 at(E) tinuruan niya ang mga tao nang ganito, “Nasusulat, ‘Ang aking tahanan ay tatawaging bahay-dalanginan ng lahat ng bansa.’ Ngunit ginawa ninyo itong lungga ng mga magnanakaw!”
18 Narinig ito ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Buhat noo'y humanap na sila ng paraan upang patayin si Jesus. Subalit natatakot sila sa kanya dahil humahanga ang lahat sa kanyang mga turo.
19 Pagsapit ng gabi, si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad ay muling lumabas ng lungsod.
Ang Aral Mula sa Puno ng Igos(F)
20 Kinaumagahan, pagdaan nila'y nakita nilang natuyo ang puno ng igos hanggang sa mga ugat nito. 21 Naalala ni Pedro ang nangyari dito kaya't kanyang sinabi kay Jesus, “Guro, tingnan ninyo! Patay na ang puno ng igos na isinumpa ninyo.”
22 Sumagot si Jesus, “Manalig kayo sa Diyos. 23 Tandaan(G) ninyo ito: kung kayo'y nananampalataya sa Diyos at hindi kayo nag-aalinlangan, maaari ninyong sabihin sa bundok na ito, ‘Umalis ka riyan at tumalon ka sa dagat,’ at ito nga ay mangyayari. 24 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, anuman ang hingin ninyo sa inyong panalangin, maniwala kayong natanggap na ninyo iyon, at matatanggap nga ninyo iyon. 25 Kapag(H) kayo'y tumayo upang manalangin, patawarin muna ninyo ang nagkasala sa inyo upang ang inyong mga kasalanan ay patawarin din ng inyong Ama na nasa langit. [26 Ngunit kung hindi kayo magpapatawad, hindi rin naman kayo patatawarin ng inyong Ama na nasa langit.][c]”
Pag-aalinlangan tungkol sa Karapatan ni Jesus(I)
27 Muli silang pumasok sa Jerusalem. Habang si Jesus ay naglalakad sa patyo ng Templo, nilapitan siya ng mga punong pari, ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ng mga pinuno ng bayan. 28 Siya'y tinanong nila, “Ano ang karapatan mong gumawa ng mga bagay na ito? Sino ang nagbigay sa iyo ng ganyang karapatan?”
29 Sumagot si Jesus, “Tatanungin ko kayo. Sagutin ninyo ito at sasabihin ko sa inyo kung kanino galing ang karapatan kong gumawa ng mga bagay na ito. 30 Sabihin ninyo sa akin, kanino galing ang karapatan ni Juan na magbautismo: sa Diyos ba o sa mga tao?”
31 At sila'y nag-usap-usap, “Kung sasabihin nating galing sa Diyos, itatanong naman niya sa atin kung bakit hindi natin pinaniwalaan si Juan. 32 Ngunit kung sasabihin naman nating galing sa tao, baka kung ano naman ang gawin sa atin ng mga tao.” Nangangamba sila sapagkat naniniwala ang marami na si Juan ay isang tunay na propeta. 33 Kaya't ganito ang kanilang isinagot: “Hindi namin alam.”
“Kung gayon, hindi ko rin sasabihin sa inyo kung kanino galing ang karapatan kong gawin ang mga ito,” tugon ni Jesus sa kanila.

New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 11
The Entry into Jerusalem.[a] 1 When they drew near to Jerusalem,(A) to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately on entering it, you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone should say to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ reply, ‘The Master has need of it and will send it back here at once.’” 4 So they went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. 5 Some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 They answered them just as Jesus had told them to, and they permitted them to do it. 7 So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out:(B)
“Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come!
Hosanna in the highest!”
11 He entered Jerusalem and went into the temple area. He looked around at everything and, since it was already late, went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(C)
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree.[b] 12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany he was hungry.(D) 13 Seeing from a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went over to see if he could find anything on it. When he reached it he found nothing but leaves; it was not the time for figs. 14 And he said to it in reply, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again!” And his disciples heard it.
Cleansing of the Temple.[c] 15 They came to Jerusalem,(E) and on entering the temple area he began to drive out those selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 16 He did not permit anyone to carry anything through the temple area. 17 Then he taught them saying, “Is it not written:
‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples’?
But you have made it a den of thieves.”(F)
18 The chief priests and the scribes came to hear of it and were seeking a way to put him to death, yet they feared him because the whole crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 When evening came, they went out of the city.(G)
The Withered Fig Tree. 20 (H)Early in the morning, as they were walking along, they saw the fig tree withered to its roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 Jesus said to them in reply, “Have faith in God. 23 Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.(I) 24 Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.(J) 25 When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions.”(K) [26 ][d]
The Authority of Jesus Questioned.[e] 27 They returned once more to Jerusalem.(L) As he was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached him 28 and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I shall ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.” 31 They discussed this among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say, ‘[Then] why did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?”—they feared the crowd, for they all thought John really was a prophet. 33 So they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Footnotes
- 11:1–11 In Mark’s account Jesus takes the initiative in ordering the preparation for his entry into Jerusalem (Mk 11:1–6) even as he later orders the preparation of his last Passover supper (Mk 14:12–16). In Mk 10:9–10 the greeting Jesus receives stops short of proclaiming him Messiah. He is greeted rather as the prophet of the coming messianic kingdom. Contrast Mt 21:9.
- 11:12–14 Jesus’ search for fruit on the fig tree recalls the prophets’ earlier use of this image to designate Israel; cf. Jer 8:13; 29:17; Jl 1:7; Hos 9:10, 16. Cursing the fig tree is a parable in action representing Jesus’ judgment (Mk 11:20) on barren Israel and the fate of Jerusalem for failing to receive his teaching; cf. Is 34:4; Hos 2:14; Lk 13:6–9.
- 11:15–19 See note on Mt 21:12–17.
- 11:26 This verse, which reads, “But if you do not forgive, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your transgressions,” is omitted in the best manuscripts. It was probably added by copyists under the influence of Mt 6:15.
- 11:27–33 The mounting hostility toward Jesus came from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders (Mk 11:27); the Herodians and the Pharisees (Mk 12:13); and the Sadducees (Mk 12:18). By their rejection of God’s messengers, John the Baptist and Jesus, they incurred the divine judgment implied in Mk 11:27–33 and confirmed in the parable of the vineyard tenants (Mk 12:1–12).
