21 Now kai when hote they drew engizō near to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma and kai came erchomai to eis Bethphage Bēthphagē, to eis the ho Mount oros of ho Olives elaia, then tote Jesus Iēsous sent apostellō two dyo disciples mathētēs, 2 saying legō to them autos, “ Go poreuō into eis the ho village kōmē · ho ahead katenanti of you hymeis, and kai right eutheōs away you will find heuriskō a donkey onos tethered deō, and kai a colt pōlos with meta her autos. Untie lyō them and bring agō them to me egō. 3 · kai If ean anyone tis says legō anything tis to you hymeis, you are to say legō, ‘ The ho Lord kyrios has echō need chreia of them autos.’ And de he will send apostellō them autos at once.” 4 This houtos · de took ginomai place in hina order that what ho had been spoken legō by dia the ho prophet prophētēs might be fulfilled plēroō, saying legō, 5 “ Say legō to the ho daughter thugatēr of Zion Siōn, ‘ Behold idou, · ho your sy king basileus is coming erchomai to you sy, humble praus and kai mounted epibainō on epi a donkey onos, and kai on epi a colt pōlos, the foal hyios of a beast hypozygion of burden .’”

6 So de the ho disciples mathētēs went poreuō and kai did poieō as kathōs Jesus Iēsous had instructed syntassō them autos. · ho 7 They brought agō the ho donkey onos and kai the ho colt pōlos, and kai placed epitithēmi their ho cloaks himation on epi them autos; and kai he sat epikathizō on epanō them autos. 8 · ho · de A very large polys crowd ochlos spread strōnnyō their heautou · ho cloaks himation on en the ho road hodos, while de others allos cut koptō branches klados from apo · ho trees dendron and kai spread strōnnyō them on en the ho road hodos. 9 The ho · de crowds ochlos that ho went proagō before him autos and kai those ho that followed akoloutheō were shouting krazō, “ Hosanna hōsanna to the ho Son hyios of David Dauid! Blessed eulogeō is he ho who comes erchomai in en the name onoma of the Lord kyrios! Hosanna hōsanna in en the ho highest hypsistos!” 10 And kai when he autos entered eiserchomai Jerusalem Hierosolyma, the ho whole pas city polis was seiō in turmoil , asking legō, “ Who tis is eimi this houtos?” 11 And de the ho crowds ochlos said legō, “ This houtos is eimi the ho prophet prophētēs, Jesus Iēsous · ho from apo Nazareth Nazareth of ho Galilee Galilaia.”

12 And kai Jesus Iēsous entered eiserchomai the ho temple hieron and kai drove ekballō out all pas who ho were selling pōleō and kai buying agorazō in en the ho temple hieron, and kai he overturned katastrephō the ho tables trapeza of the ho moneychangers kollybistēs and kai the ho chairs kathedra of those ho who were selling pōleō · ho doves peristera. 13 And kai he said legō to them autos, “ It stands written graphō, · ho ‘ My egō house oikos will be called kaleō a house oikos of prayer proseuchē,’ but de you hymeis are making poieō it autos a den spēlaion of thieves lēstēs.”

14 Then kai the blind typhlos and kai the lame chōlos came proserchomai to him autos in en the ho temple hieron and kai he healed therapeuō them autos. 15 But de when the ho ruling archiereus priests and kai the ho scribes grammateus saw the ho wonderful thaumasios things that hos he did poieō, and kai the ho children pais who ho were crying krazō out in en the ho temple hieron, · kai “ Hosanna hōsanna to the ho Son hyios of David Dauid!” they were indignant aganakteō, 16 and kai they said legō to him autos, “ Do you hear akouō what tis they houtos are saying legō?” “ Yes nai,” replied legō · ho · de Jesus Iēsous, “ but oudepote have you never read anaginōskō, ‘ Out ek of the mouth stoma of infants nēpios and kai nursing thēlazō babies you have brought katartizō forth praise ainos’?” 17 And kai leaving kataleipō them autos, he went exerchomai out exō of the ho city polis to eis Bethany Bēthania and kai spent aulizomai the night there ekei.

18 In the morning prōi, · de as he was returning epanagō to eis the ho city polis, he became hungry peinaō. 19 And kai seeing a heis fig sykē tree by epi the ho road hodos, he went erchomai over to epi it autos and kai found heuriskō nothing oudeis on en it autos except ei mē leaves phyllon only monon. And kai he said legō to it autos, “ May ginomai no mēketi fruit karpos ever come ginomai from ek you sy for eis all ho time aiōn!” And kai at once parachrēma the ho fig sykē tree withered away xērainō. 20 · kai When the ho disciples mathētēs saw this, they were astonished thaumazō and said legō, “ How pōs did xērainō the ho fig tree sykē wither away xērainō so quickly parachrēma?” 21 And de Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · ho them autos, “ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, if ean you have echō faith pistis and kai do not mē doubt diakrinō, not ou only monon will you do poieō what ho was done to the ho fig sykē tree , but alla even kan if you say legō to ho this houtos mountain oros, ‘ Be lifted airō up and kai thrown ballō into eis the ho sea thalassa,’ it will happen ginomai. 22 And kai whatever pas hosos you ask aiteō in en · ho prayer proseuchē, if you believe pisteuō, you will receive lambanō.”

23 And kai when he autos had entered erchomai the ho temple hieron, the ho ruling priests archiereus and kai the ho elders presbyteros of the ho people laos approached proserchomai him autos while he was teaching didaskō and said legō, “ By en what poios authority exousia are you doing poieō these houtos things , and kai who tis gave didōmi you sy · ho this houtos authority exousia?” 24 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · de · ho them autos, saying legō, “ I also kagō will ask erōtaō you hymeis one heis question logos, and if ean you give legō me egō an answer , then I kagō will tell legō you hymeis by en what poios authority exousia I do poieō these houtos things . 25 The ho baptism baptisma of ho John Iōannēs, where pothen did eimi it come from?

The Triumphal Entry

21 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie them[a] and[b] bring them[c] to me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, ‘The Lord needs them,’[d] and he will send them at once.” 4 Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
    ‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
    and[e] on a colt, the foal of a pack animal.’”[f]

6 So the disciples went[g] and did[h] just as Jesus directed them, 7 and[i] brought the donkey and the colt and put their[j] cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8 And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them[k] on the road. 9 And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord![l]
    Hosanna in the highest heaven!”[m]

10 And when[n] he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!”

The Cleansing of the Temple

12 And Jesus entered the temple courts[o] and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves. 13 And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[p] but you have made it a cave of robbers!”

14 And the blind and the lame came up to him in the temple courts[q] and he healed them. 15 But when[r] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children shouting in the temple courts[s] and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant. 16 And they said to him, “Do you hear what these children[t] are saying?” So Jesus said to them, “Yes, have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise’?”[u] 17 And leaving them, he went outside of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

A Barren Fig Tree Cursed

18 Now early in the morning, as he[v] was returning to the city, he was hungry. 19 And seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he said to it, “May there be no more fruit from you forever,[w] and the fig tree withered at once. 20 And when they[x] saw it,[y] the disciples were astonished, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” 21 And Jesus answered and[z] said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,” it will happen! 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, if you[aa] believe, you will receive.”

Jesus’ Authority Challenged

23 And after[ab] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him while he[ac] was teaching, saying, “By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?” 24 And Jesus answered and[ad] said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell the answer[ae] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 From where was the baptism of John—from heaven or from men?” And they began to discuss[af] this[ag] among themselves, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet.” 27 And they answered and[ah] said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

The Parable of the Two Sons

28 “Now what do you think? A man had two sons. He approached[ai] the first and[aj] said, ‘Son, go work in the vineyard today.’ 29 And he answered and[ak] said, ‘I do not want to!’ But later he changed his mind and[al] went. 30 And he approached the second[am] and[an] said the same thing. So he answered and[ao] said, ‘I will, sir,’ and he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his[ap] father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God! 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him. And when[aq] you saw it,[ar] you did not even change your minds later so as to believe in him.

The Parable of the Tenant Farmers in the Vineyard

33 “Listen to another parable: There was a man—a master of a house—who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey. 34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the tenant farmers to collect his fruit. 35 And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned. 36 Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them. 37 So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when[as] the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’ 39 And they seized him and[at] threw him[au] out of the vineyard and killed him.[av] 40 Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?” 41 They said to him, “He will destroy those evil men completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures,

‘The stone which the builders rejected,
    this has become the cornerstone.[aw]
This came about from the Lord,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?[ax]

43 For this reason, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people[ay] who produce its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!” 45 And when[az] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them, 46 and although they[ba] wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they looked upon him as a prophet.
