The Triumphal Entry
11 When(A) they approached Jerusalem,(B) at Bethphage and Bethany(C) near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples 2 and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”
4 So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it, 5 and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the donkey?” 6 They answered them just as Jesus had said, so they let them go. 7 Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their robes on it, and He sat on it.
8 Many people spread their robes on the road,(D) and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.[a] 9 Then those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting:
Hosanna!
He who comes in the name(E)
of the Lord is the blessed One!(F)[b]
10 The coming kingdom(G)
of our father David(H) is blessed!
Hosanna(I) in the highest heaven!
11 And He went into Jerusalem(J) and into the temple complex.(K) After looking around at everything, since it was already late, He went out to Bethany(L) with the Twelve.
The Barren Fig Tree Is Cursed
12 The(M) next day when they came out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 After seeing in the distance a fig(N) tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit(O) from you again!”(P) And His disciples(Q) heard it.
Cleansing the Temple Complex
15 They came to Jerusalem,(R) and He went into the temple complex(S) and began to throw out those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’(T) tables and the chairs of those selling doves, 16 and would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple complex.
17 Then He began to teach them: “Is it not written,(U) My house(V) will be called a house of prayer(W) for all nations?[c] But you have made it a den of thieves!”(X)[d] 18 Then the chief priests and the scribes(Y) heard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid(Z) of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.
19 And whenever evening came, they would go out of the city.
The Barren Fig Tree Is Withered
20 Early(AA) in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. 21 Then Peter(AB) remembered and said to Him, “Rabbi,(AC) look! The fig tree that You cursed(AD) is withered.”
22 Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God.(AE) 23 I assure you:(AF) If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt(AG) in his heart, but believes(AH) that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.(AI) 24 Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray(AJ) and ask for(AK)—believe that you have received[e](AL) them, and you will have them. 25 And whenever you stand(AM) praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive(AN) him, so that your Father(AO) in heaven(AP) will also forgive(AQ) you your wrongdoing. [26 But if you don’t forgive, neither will your Father in heaven(AR) forgive your wrongdoing.]”[f][g]
Messiah’s Authority Challenged
27 They(AS) came again to Jerusalem.(AT) As He was walking in the temple complex,(AU) the chief priests, the scribes,(AV) and the elders(AW) came 28 and asked Him, “By what authority(AX) are You doing these things? Who gave You this authority to do these things?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question;(AY) then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30 Was John’s baptism(AZ) from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”
31 They began to argue among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe(BA) him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘From men’”—they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.(BB) 33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

11 Und da sie nahe an Jerusalem kamen, gen Bethphage und Bethanien an den Ölberg, sandte er seiner Jünger zwei
2 und sprach zu ihnen: Gehet hin in den Flecken, der vor euch liegt; und alsbald, wenn ihr hineinkommt, werdet ihr finden ein Füllen angebunden, auf welchem nie ein Mensch gesessen hat; löset es ab und führet es her!
3 Und so jemand zu euch sagen wird: Warum tut ihr das? so sprechet: Der HERR bedarf sein; so wird er's alsbald hersenden.
4 Sie gingen hin und fanden das Füllen gebunden an die Tür, außen auf der Wegscheide, und lösten es ab.
5 Und etliche, die dastanden, sprachen zu ihnen: Was macht ihr, daß ihr das Füllen ablöset?
6 Sie sagten aber zu ihnen, wie ihnen Jesus geboten hatte, und die ließen's zu.
7 Und sie führten das Füllen zu Jesu und legten ihre Kleider darauf, und er setzte sich darauf.
8 Viele aber breiteten ihre Kleider auf den Weg; etliche hieben Maien von den Bäumen und streuten sie auf den Weg.
9 Und die vorne vorgingen und die hernach folgten, schrieen und sprachen: Hosianna! Gelobt sei, der da kommt im Namen des HERRN!
10 Gelobt sei das Reich unsers Vaters David, das da kommt in dem Namen des HERRN! Hosianna in der Höhe!
11 Und der HERR ging ein zu Jerusalem und in den Tempel, und er besah alles; und am Abend ging er hinaus gen Bethanien mit den Zwölfen.
12 Und des anderen Tages, da sie von Bethanien gingen, hungerte ihn.
13 Und er sah einen Feigenbaum von ferne, der Blätter hatte; da trat er hinzu, ob er etwas darauf fände, und da er hinzukam, fand er nichts denn nur Blätter, denn es war noch nicht Zeit, daß Feigen sein sollten.
14 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Nun esse von dir niemand ewiglich! Und seine Jünger hörten das.
15 Und sie kamen gen Jerusalem. Und Jesus ging in den Tempel, fing an und trieb aus die Verkäufer und Käufer in dem Tempel; und die Tische der Wechsler und die Stühle der Taubenkrämer stieß er um,
16 und ließ nicht zu, das jemand etwas durch den Tempel trüge.
17 Und er lehrte und sprach zu ihnen: Steht nicht geschrieben: "Mein Haus soll heißen ein Bethaus allen Völkern"? Ihr aber habt eine Mördergrube daraus gemacht.
18 Und es kam vor die Schriftgelehrten und Hohenpriester; und sie trachteten, wie sie ihn umbrächten. Sie fürchteten sich aber vor ihm; denn alles Volk verwunderte sich über seine Lehre.
19 Und des Abends ging er hinaus vor die Stadt.
20 Und am Morgen gingen sie vorüber und sahen den Feigenbaum, daß er verdorrt war bis auf die Wurzel.
21 Und Petrus gedachte daran und sprach zu ihm: Rabbi, siehe, der Feigenbaum, den du verflucht hast, ist verdorrt.
22 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Habt Glauben an Gott.
23 Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer zu diesem Berge spräche: Hebe dich und wirf dich ins Meer! und zweifelte nicht in seinem Herzen, sondern glaubte, daß es geschehen würde, was er sagt, so wird's ihm geschehen, was er sagt.
24 Darum sage ich euch: Alles, was ihr bittet in eurem Gebet, glaubet nur, daß ihr's empfangen werdet, so wird's euch werden.
25 Und wenn ihr stehet und betet, so vergebet, wo ihr etwas wider jemand habt, auf daß auch euer Vater im Himmel euch vergebe eure Fehler.
26 Wenn ihr aber nicht vergeben werdet, so wird euch euer Vater, der im Himmel ist, eure Fehler nicht vergeben.
27 Und sie kamen abermals gen Jerusalem. Und da er im Tempel wandelte, kamen zu ihm die Hohenpriester und Schriftgelehrten und die Ältesten
28 und sprachen zu ihm: Aus was für Macht tust du das? und wer hat dir die Macht gegeben, daß du solches tust?
29 Jesus aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Ich will euch auch ein Wort fragen; antwortet mir, so will ich euch sagen, aus was für Macht ich das tue.
30 Die Taufe des Johannes, war sie vom Himmel oder von den Menschen? Antwortet mir!
31 Und sie gedachten bei sich selbst und sprachen: Sagen wir sie war vom Himmel, so wird er sagen: Warum habt ihr denn ihm nicht geglaubt?
32 Sagen wir aber, sie war von Menschen, so fürchten wir uns vor dem Volk. Denn sie hielten alle, daß Johannes ein rechter Prophet wäre.
33 Und sie antworteten und sprachen zu Jesu: Wir wissen's nicht. Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: So sage ich euch auch nicht, aus was für Macht ich solches tue.

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, 2 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. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna![a]”
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.”
