Jesus Enters Jerusalem as a King(A)

11 As Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] were coming closer to Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives. From there Jesus sent two of his ·followers [disciples] and said to them, “Go to the town ·you can see there [ahead of you; or opposite you C either Bethphage, Bethany, or another village]. When you enter it, you will ·quickly [immediately] find a ·colt [young donkey] tied, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here to me. If anyone asks you why you are doing this, tell him ·its Master [the Lord; or its Owner] needs the colt and ·he will send it at once [or he will return it soon; C “he” could be either Jesus or the colt’s owner].”

They went into the town, found a colt tied in the street near the door of a house, and untied it. Some people were standing there and asked, “What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?” They answered the way Jesus told them to answer, and the people let them take the colt.

They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it, and Jesus sat on it [Zech. 9:9]. Many people spread their coats on the road. Others cut [leafy] branches in the fields and spread them on the road. The people were walking ahead of Jesus and behind him, shouting,

“·Praise God! [L Hosanna! C A Hebrew word originally used in praying for help, but by this time a joyful shout of praise to God.]
·God bless [Blessed is] the One who comes in the name of the Lord [Ps. 118:26]!
10 ·God bless [Blessed is] the coming kingdom of our father David!
·Praise to God in heaven [L Hosanna in the highest]!”

11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After he had looked [around] at everything, since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with ·the twelve apostles [the Twelve].

12 The next day as Jesus was leaving Bethany, he became hungry. 13 Seeing a fig tree in leaf from far away, he went to see if it had any figs on it. But he found no figs, only leaves, because it was not the right season for figs. 14 So Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] heard him say this.

Jesus Goes to the Temple(B)

15 When Jesus ·returned [came] to Jerusalem, he went into the ·Temple [temple complex; C the large temple area, not the inner building where only the priests could go] and began to ·throw [drive] out those who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of ·those who were exchanging different kinds of money [L  the moneychangers], and he upset the benches of those who were selling doves [or pigeons; C moneychangers provided particular coins for the temple tax; doves or pigeons were sold for sacrifices; Lev. 5:7]. 16 Jesus refused to allow anyone to carry goods through the Temple courts. 17 Then he taught the people, saying, “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘My ·Temple [L House] will be called a house for prayer for people from all nations’ [Is. 56:7]. But you ·are changing God’s house [L have made it] into a ·‘hideout for robbers’ [T den of thieves’; Jer. 7:11].”

18 The ·leading [T chief] priests and the ·teachers of the law [scribes] heard all this and began trying to find a way to kill Jesus. They were afraid of him, because all the people were amazed at his teaching. 19 That evening, Jesus and his ·followers[a] [disciples] left the city.

The Power of Faith(C)

20 The next morning as Jesus was passing by with his ·followers [disciples], they saw the fig tree ·dry and dead [withered], even to the roots. 21 Peter ·remembered the tree and said to Jesus, “·Teacher [L Rabbi], look! The fig tree you cursed is ·dry and dead [withered]!”

22 Jesus answered, “Have faith in God. 23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘·Go [Be lifted up], fall into the sea.’ And if you have no doubts in your ·mind [heart] and believe that what you say will happen, ·God will do it for you [it will be done for you]. 24 So I tell you to believe that you have received ·the things [everything] you ask for in prayer, and ·God will give them to you [you will receive them]. 25 When you ·are praying [L stand praying], if you ·are angry with [have anything against] someone, forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your ·sins [transgressions; trespasses]. |26 But if you don’t forgive other people, then your Father in heaven will not forgive your ·sins [transgressions; trespasses].|”[b]

Leaders Doubt Jesus’ Authority(D)

27 Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] went again to Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking in the Temple [complex; area; courts; see 11:15], the ·leading [T chief] priests, the ·teachers of the law [scribes], and the elders came to him. 28 They said to him, “What authority do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

29 Jesus answered, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you what authority I have to do these things. 30 Tell me: When John baptized people, was that authority from ·God [L heaven; C a reverential Jewish way of referring to God] or just from ·other people [human beings]?”

31 They argued about Jesus’ question, saying, “If we answer, ‘John’s baptism was from ·God [L heaven],’ Jesus will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘It was from ·other people [human beings],’ the crowd will be against us.” (These leaders were afraid of the people, because all the people believed that John was a prophet.)

33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Jesus said to them, “Then I won’t tell you what authority I have to do these things.”

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 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. Kapag may nagtanong kung bakit ninyo kinakalagan iyon, sabihin ninyong iyon ay kailangan ng Panginoon[a] at ibabalik din niya agad.”

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, tinanong sila ng ilang nakatayo roon, “Bakit ninyo kinakalagan iyan?”

Sumagot sila gaya ng bilin ni Jesus, at hinayaan na silang umalis. Dinala nila kay Jesus ang batang asno. Matapos isapin sa likod nito ang kanilang mga balabal ay sumakay si Jesus. 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. 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.

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.”

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.”

荣入圣城(A)

11 耶稣和门徒快到耶路撒冷,来到伯法其伯大尼,在橄榄山那里。耶稣打发两个门徒, 对他们说:“你们往对面村子里去,一进去的时候会看见一匹驴驹拴在那里,是从来没有人骑过的,把它解开,牵来。 若有人对你们说:‘为什么做这事?’你们就说:‘主要用它,但会立刻把它牵回到这里来。’” 他们去了,看见一匹驴驹拴在门外街道上,就把它解开。 在那里站着的人,有几个说:“你们解开驴驹做什么?” 门徒照着耶稣的话说,那些人就任凭他们牵去了。 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶稣就骑上。 有许多人把衣服铺在路上,还有人把田间的树枝砍下来铺上。 前呼后拥的人都喊着说:

“和散那[a]
奉主名来的是应当称颂的!
10 那将要来的我祖大卫之国是应当称颂的!
至高无上的,和散那!”

11 耶稣到了耶路撒冷,进入圣殿,看了周围的一切。天色已晚,他就和十二使徒出城,往伯大尼去。

诅咒无花果树(B)

12 第二天,他们从伯大尼出来,耶稣饿了。 13 他远远地看见一棵无花果树,树上有叶子,就过去,看是不是在树上可以找到什么。他到了树下,竟找不到什么,只有叶子,因为不是无花果的季节。 14 耶稣就对树说:“从今以后,永没有人吃你的果子。”他的门徒都听到了。

洁净圣殿(C)

15 他们来到耶路撒冷。耶稣一进圣殿,就赶出在圣殿里做买卖的人,推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子; 16 也不许人拿着器具从圣殿里经过。 17 他教导他们说:“经上不是记着:

‘我的殿要称为万国祷告的殿吗?
你们倒使它成为贼窝了。’”

18 祭司长和文士听见这话,就想法子要除掉耶稣,却又怕他,因为众人都对他的教导感到惊奇。 19 每天晚上,他们[b]都到城外去。

从无花果树得教导(D)

20 早晨,他们从那里经过,看见无花果树连根都枯干了。 21 彼得想起耶稣的话来,就对他说:“拉比,你看!你所诅咒的无花果树已经枯干了。” 22 耶稣回答:“你们对 神要有信心。 23 我实在告诉你们,无论何人对这座山说:‘离开此地,投在海里!’他心里若不疑惑,只信所说的必成,就为他实现。 24 所以我告诉你们,凡你们祷告祈求的,无论是什么,只要信你们已经得着了,就为你们实现。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪你们,就该饶恕他,好让你们在天上的父也饶恕你们的过犯。[c]

耶稣的权柄受到质问(E)

27 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在圣殿里行走的时候,祭司长、文士和长老进前来, 28 问他说:“你仗着什么权柄做这些事?给你权柄做这些事的是谁呢?” 29 耶稣对他们说:“我要问你们一句话,你们回答我,我就告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的,还是从人间来的呢?你们回答我吧。” 31 他们彼此商议说:“我们若说‘从天上来的’,他会说:‘这样,你们为什么不信他呢?’ 32 但若说‘从人间来的’,却又怕众人,因为大家认为约翰确是先知。” 33 于是他们回答耶稣:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们,我仗着什么权柄做这些事。”
