1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. 4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. 19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, 28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? 29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? 32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. 33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
1 他们走近耶路撒冷， 到了伯法其和伯大尼， 来到橄榄山那里， 耶稣派了两个门徒，
2 对他们说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 一进去， 就会看见一头小驴拴在那里， 是没有人骑过的， 把它解开牵来。
3 如果有人问你们： ‘为什么这样作？’你们就说： ‘主需要它， 并且很快会送还到这里来。’"
4 门徒去了， 就发现一头小驴， 拴在门外的街上， 就把它解开。
5 站在那里的人有的问他们说： "你们为什么解它？"
6 门徒照着耶稣所说的话回答他们， 那些人就让他们牵走了。
7 门徒把小驴牵到耶稣那里， 把自己的衣服搭在上面， 耶稣就骑了上去。
8 许多人把衣服铺在路上， 还有人从田野里砍了些树枝也铺在路上。
9 前行后随的人都喊着说： "‘和散那’， 奉主名来的是应当称颂的！
10 那将要来临的， 我们祖先大卫的国是应当称颂的！ 高天之上当唱‘和散那’！ "
11 耶稣到了耶路撒冷， 进入圣殿， 察看了一切， 因为时候已经不早， 就和十二门徒出城往伯大尼去。
12 第二天他们从伯大尼出来， 耶稣饿了。
13 他远远看见一棵长满了叶子的无花果树， 就走过去， 看看是否可以在树上找到什么。到了树下， 除了叶子什么也找不着， 因为这不是收无花果的时候。
14 耶稣对树说： "永远再没有人吃你的果子了！ "他的门徒也听见了。
15 他们来到耶路撒冷。耶稣进了圣殿， 就把殿里作买卖的人赶走， 又推倒找换银钱的人的桌子， 和卖鸽子的人的凳子；
16 不许人拿着器皿穿过圣殿。
17 他又教训众人说： "经上不是写着‘我的殿要称为万国祷告的殿’吗？你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。"
18 祭司长和经学家听见了， 就想办法怎样除掉耶稣， 却又怕他， 因为群众都希奇他的教训。
19 到了晚上， 他们就到城外去。
20 早晨， 他们经过的时候， 看见那棵无花果树连根都枯萎了。
21 彼得想起来就对耶稣说： "拉比， 请看， 你所咒诅的无花果树， 已经枯萎了。"
22 耶稣回答他们： "你们对 神要有信心（"你们对 神要有信心"有些抄本作"如果你们对 神有信心"）。
23 我实在告诉你们， 无论什么人对这座山说‘移开， 投到海里’， 只要他心里不怀疑， 相信他所说的一定能够成就， 就必给他成就。
24 所以我告诉你们， 凡是你们祷告祈求的， 只要相信能够得到， 就必得到。
25 你们站着祷告的时候， 如果有谁得罪了你们， 就该饶恕他， 好使你们的天父也饶恕你们的过犯。"
26 （有些抄本有第26节： "如果你们不饶恕人， 你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。"）
27 他们又来到耶路撒冷。耶稣在殿里行走的时候， 祭司长、经学家和长老来到他跟前，
28 问他： "你凭什么权柄作这些事？谁给你权柄作这些事？"
29 耶稣对他们说： "我要问你们一句话， 你们回答了我， 我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄作这些事。
30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的， 还是从人来的呢？你们回答我吧。"
31 他们就彼此议论： "如果我们说‘是从天上来的’， 他就会说‘那你们为什么不信他呢？’
32 如果我们说‘是从人来的’......"他们害怕群众， 因为众人都认为约翰的确是先知。
33 于是他们回答耶稣： "我们不知道。"耶稣对他们说： "我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄作这些事。"
