11 Og da de nærme sig Jerusalem til Bethfage og Betania ved Oliebjerget, udsender han to af sine Disciple og siger til dem: "Går hen til den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder, og straks, når I komme ind i den, skulle I finde et Føl bundet, på hvilket der endnu aldrig har siddet noget Menneske; løser det og fører det hid! Og dersom nogen siger til eder: Hvorfor gøre I dette? da siger: Herren har Brug for det, og han sender det straks herhen igen." Og de gik hen og fandt Føllet bundet ved Døren udenfor ved Gyden, og de løse det. Og nogle af dem, som stode der, sagde til dem: "Hvad gøre I, at I løse Føllet?" Men de sagde til dem, ligesom Jesus havde sagt, og de tilstedte dem det. Og de føre Føllet til Jesus og lægge deres Klæder på det, og han satte sig på det. Og mange bredte deres Klæder på Vejen, andre Kviste, som de afskare på Markerne. Og de, som gik foran, og de, som fulgte efter, råbte: "Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! 10 Velsignet være vor Fader Davids Rige, som kommer, Hosanna i det højeste!" 11 Og han gik ind i Jerusalem, i Helligdommen, og da han havde beset alt, gik han, da det allerede var Aftenstid, ud til Bethania med de tolv.

12 Og den følgende Dag; da de gik ud fra Bethania, blev han hungrig. 13 Og da han så et Figentræ langt borte, som havde Blade, gik han derhen, om han måske kunde finde noget derpå, og da han kom til det, fandt han intet uden Blade; thi det var ikke Figentid. 14 Og han tog til Orde og sagde til det: "Aldrig i Evighed skal nogen mere spise Frugt af dig!" Og hans Disciple hørte det.

15 Og de komme til Jerusalem; og han gik ind i Helligdommen og begyndte at uddrive dem, som solgte og købte i Helligdommen, og han væltede Vekselerernes Borde og Duekræmmernes Stole. 16 Og han tilstedte ikke, at nogen bar nogen Ting igennem Helligdommen. 17. Og han lærte og sagde til dem: "Er der ikke skrevet, at mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus for alle Folkeslagene? Men I have gjort det til en Røverkule." 18 Og Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge hørte det, og de søgte, hvorledes de kunde slå ham ihjel; thi de frygtede for ham, eftersom hele Skaren blev slagen af, Forundring over hans Lære.

19 Og da det blev Aften, gik han uden for Staden. 20 Og da de om Morgenen gik forbi, så de, at Figentræet var visnet fra Roden af. 21 Og Peter kom det i Hu og siger til ham; "Rabbi! se, Figentræet, som du forbandede, er visnet." 22 Og Jesus svarede og siger til dem: "Haver Tro til Gud! 23 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som siger til dette Bjerg: Løft dig op og; kast dig i Havet, og ikke tvivler i sit Hjerte, men tror, at det sker, som han siger, ham skal det ske. 24 Derfor siger jeg eder: Alt, hvad I bede om og begære, tror, at I have fået det, så skal det ske eder. 25 Og når I stå og bede, da forlader, dersom I have noget imod nogen, for at også eders Fader, som er i Himlene, må forlade eder eders Overtrædelser. 26 Men dersom I ikke forlade, skal eders Fader, som er i Himlene, ej heller forlade eders Overtrædelser"

27 Og de komme atter til Jerusalem; og medens han gik omkring i Helligdommen, komme Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge og de Ældste hen til ham. 28 Og de sagde til ham: "Af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting? eller hvem har givet dig denne Magt til at gøre disse Ting?" 29 Men Jesus sagde til dem: "Jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og svarer mig derpå, så vil jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting. 30 Johannes's Dåb, var den fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker? Svarer mig!" 31 Og de tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: "Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige, hvorfor troede I ham da ikke? 32 Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker" så frygtede de for Folket; thi alle holdt for, at Johannes virkelig var en Profet. 33 Og de svare og sige til Jesus: "Vi vide det ikke." Og Jesus siger til dem: "Så siger jeg eder ikke heller, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting."

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.”

The Triumphal Entry

11 (A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to (B)Bethphage and Bethany, at (C)the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent (D)two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, (E)on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many (F)spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, (G)“Hosanna! (H)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is (I)the coming (J)kingdom of (K)our father (L)David! (M)Hosanna (N)in the highest!”

11 (O)And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, (P)he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

12 (Q)On the following day, when they came from Bethany, (R)he was hungry. 13 (S)And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for (T)it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15 (U)And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (V)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (W)pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, (X)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But (Y)you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and (Z)were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because (AA)all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 (AB)And when evening came they[b] went out of the city.

The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree

20 (AC)As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, (AD)“Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have (AE)faith in God. 23 (AF)Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, (AG)‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not (AH)doubt in his heart, but (AI)believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, (AJ)whatever you ask in prayer, (AK)believe that you (AL)have received[c] it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever (AM)you stand praying, (AN)forgive, (AO)if you have anything against anyone, so that (AP)your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[d]

The Authority of Jesus Challenged

27 (AQ)And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, (AR)“By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John (AS)from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, (AT)‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—(AU)they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was (AV)a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
