1And when they drew near unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, toward the mount of Olives, He sends two of His disciples,
2And says to them, Go into the village opposite you and directly entering into it, you will find a colt having been tied, upon which no one of men has yet sat; having untied it, and lead it.
3And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? Say, Because the Lord has necessity of it, and directly he will send it back here.
4And they departed and found the colt having been tied to the door outside, upon the street, and they untied it.
5And some of those standing there said to them, What are you doing untying the colt?
6And they spoke to them just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them.
7And they led the colt to Jesus, and they cast their outer garments upon it and he sat upon it;
8And many spread their outer garments onto the way, and others branches having been cut down from the fields. 9And those going before and those following were crying out, Hosanna! Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord! 10Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father, David! Hosanna in the highest! 11And He entered into Jerusalem into the temple; and having looked around on all things the hour already being late, He went out into Bethany with the twelve. 12And on the next day, they having gone out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13And having seen a fig tree from afar having leaves, He went if perhaps He will find anything on it. And having come upon it, He found nothing, except leaves; for it was not the opportune time of figs. 14And answering, He said to it, May no one eat fruit from out of you any more unto the age. And His disciples heard. 15And they come unto Jerusalem; and having entered into the temple, He began to cast out those selling and those buying in the temple; and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. 16And He would not permit that anyone should carry a vessel through the temple. 17And He taught and was saying to them, Has it not been written, My house will be called a house of prayer for all the ethnicities (nations)? However you have made it a den of robbers (those who steal in the open). 18And the chief priests and the scribes heard; and they sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, for all the crowd was astounded at (upon) His teaching. 19And when evening came, He went outside the city. 20And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree having been dried up from the roots. 21And having remembered, Peter says to him, Rabbi, look, the fig tree that You cursed is dried up. 22And answering, Jesus says to them, Have faith from God. 23Truly, I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea and shall not doubt (waver, judge back and forth) in his heart, but shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be for him. 24Because of this I say to you, All things whatever praying and you ask, believe that you receive and they will be to you. 25And when you may stand praying, if you have anything against anyone remit it, so that also your Father, who is in the heavens, might remit you your trespasses (lapses, falling away after being close-beside). 26{If however you do not remit, neither your Father, who is in the heavens, will remit your trespasses}. 27And they come again into Jerusalem. And in the temple, as He is walking, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him. 28And they say to Him, In what authority are You doing these things? Or who gave You this authority, so that you should do these things? 29And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one word and you answer Me, and I will tell you in what authority I do these things. 30Was the baptism of John from out of heaven or from out of men? Answer Me. 31And they dialogued with themselves, saying, What should we say? If we should say, From out of heaven, He will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32But should we say, From out of men, they feared the people; for all held that John was truly a prophet. 33And answering to Jesus, they say, We do not know. And Jesus says to them, Neither will I tell you in what authority I do these things. |
