1 Quando se aproximavam de Jerusalém, e tinham chegado a Betfagé e Betânia, junto do monte das Oliveiras, enviou Jesus dois de seus discípulos,
2 e disse-lhes: Ide à aldeia que está em frente de vós, e logo que nela entrardes, achareis um jumentinho preso, que nunca foi montado; desprendei-o e trazei-o.
3 Se alguém vos perguntar: Por que fazeis isso? respondei: O Senhor precisa dele, e logo tornará a enviá-lo para aqui.
4 Eles partiram e acharam um jumentinho preso ao portão do lado de fora na rua, e o desprenderam.
5 Alguns que ali se achavam, lhes perguntaram: Que fazeis, desprendendo o jumentinho?
6 Eles responderam como Jesus lhes havia dito; e os deixaram ir.
7 Então trouxeram o jumentinho, sobre que lançaram as suas capas; e Jesus montou nele.
8 Muitos também estenderam as suas capas na estrada, e outros espalharam ramagens que tinham cortado nos campos.
9 Tanto os que precediam, como os que seguiam, clamavam: Hosana! Bendito aquele que vem em nome do Senhor!
10 Bendito o reino que vem, o reino de nosso pai Davi! Hosana nas maiores alturas!
11 Tendo Jesus entrado em Jerusalém, foi ao templo; e observando tudo, como fosse já tarde, saiu com os doze para Betânia.
12 No dia seguinte, saindo eles de Betânia, teve fome.
13 Vendo ao longe uma figueira que tinha folhas, foi ver se, porventura, acharia nela alguma coisa. Aproximando-se, nada achou senão folhas; porque ainda não era tempo de figos.
14 Disse-lhe: Nunca jamais coma alguém fruto de ti; e seus discípulos ouviram isto.
15 Chegaram a Jerusalém. Entrando ele no templo, começou a expulsar os que ali vendiam e compravam, e derrubou as mesas dos cambistas, e as cadeiras dos que vendiam as pombas.
16 Não permitia que ninguém atravessasse o templo,
17 levando qualquer objeto, e ensinava, dizendo: Não está escrito que a minha casa será chamada casa de oração para todas as nações? mas vós a tendes feito um covil de salteadores.
18 Ouvindo isto os principais sacerdotes e os escribas, procuravam um modo de lhe tirar a vida; pois o temiam, porque toda a multidão estava muito admirada do seu ensino.
19 Quando chegava a tarde, saíam da cidade.
20 Ao passarem de manhã, viram que a figueira estava seca até a raiz.
21 Pedro, lembrando-se, disse-lhe: Olha, Mestre, secou-se a figueira, que amaldiçoaste!
22 Tornou-lhes Jesus: Tende fé em Deus.
23 Em verdade vos digo que quem disser a este monte: Levanta-te e lança-te no mar, e não duvidar no seu coração, mas crer que se faz o que ele diz, assim lhe será feito.
24 Por isso vos afirmo: Tudo quanto suplicais e pedis, crede que o tendes recebido, e tê-lo-eis.
25 Quando estiverdes orando, se tendes alguma coisa contra alguém, perdoai-lha; para que também vosso Pai que está nos céus, vos perdoe as vossas ofensas.
26 {Mas se vós não perdoardes, também vosso Pai que está nos céus, vos não perdoará as vossas ofensas.}
27 Entraram de novo em Jerusalém. Andando Jesus pelo templo, aproximaram-se dele os principais sacerdotes, os escribas e os anciãos,
28 e perguntaram: Com que autoridade fazes estas coisas? ou quem te deu tal autoridade para fazê-las?
29 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Eu vos farei uma só pergunta, respondei-me; então vos direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas.
30 O batismo de João era do céu ou dos homens? respondei-me.
31 Discorriam entre si: Se dissermos: Do céu, ele dirá: Por que, então, não lhe destes crédito?
32 Diremos, porém: Dos homens? -temiam o povo; porque todos realmente tinham a João como profeta.
33 Responderam a Jesus: Não sabemos. Jesus replicou: Nem eu vos digo com que autoridade faço estas coisas.
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.
