1 Ora, quando se aproximavam de Jerusalém, de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto do Monte das Oliveiras, enviou Jesus dois dos seus discípulos
2 e disse-lhes: Ide à aldeia que está defronte de vós; e logo que nela entrardes, encontrareis preso um jumentinho, em que ainda ninguém montou; desprendei-o e trazei-o.
3 E se alguém vos perguntar: Por que fazeis isso? respondei: O Senhor precisa dele, e logo tornará a enviá-lo para aqui.
4 Foram, pois, e acharam o jumentinho preso ao portão do lado de fora na rua, e o desprenderam.
5 E alguns dos que ali estavam lhes perguntaram: Que fazeis, desprendendo o jumentinho?
6 Responderam como Jesus lhes tinha mandado; e lho deixaram levar.
7 Então trouxeram a Jesus o jumentinho e lançaram sobre ele os seus mantos; e Jesus montou nele.
8 Muitos também estenderam pelo caminho os seus mantos, e outros, ramagens que tinham cortado nos campos.
9 E tanto os que o precediam como os que o seguiam, clamavam: Hosana! bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor!
10 Bendito o reino que vem, o reino de nosso pai Davi! Hosana nas alturas!
11 Tendo Jesus entrado em Jerusalém, foi ao templo; e tendo observado tudo em redor, como já fosse tarde, saiu para Betânia com os doze.
12 No dia seguinte, depois de saírem de Betânia teve fome,
13 e avistando de longe uma figueira que tinha folhas, foi ver se, porventura, acharia nela alguma coisa; e chegando a ela, nada achou senão folhas, porque não era tempo de figos.
14 E Jesus, falando, disse à figueira: Nunca mais coma alguém fruto de ti. E seus discípulos ouviram isso.
15 Chegaram, pois, a Jerusalém. E entrando ele no templo, começou a expulsar os que ali vendiam e compravam; e derribou as mesas dos cambistas, e as cadeiras dos que vendiam pombas;
16 e não consentia que ninguém atravessasse o templo levando qualquer utensílio;
17 e ensinava, dizendo-lhes: Não está escrito: A minha casa será chamada casa de oração para todas as nações? Vós, porém, a tendes feito covil de salteadores.
18 Ora, os principais sacerdotes e os escribas ouviram isto, e procuravam um modo de o matar; pois o temiam, porque toda a multidão se maravilhava da sua doutrina.
19 Ao cair da tarde, saíam da cidade.
20 Quando passavam na manhã seguinte, viram que a figueira tinha secado desde as raízes.
21 Então Pedro, lembrando-se, disse-lhe: Olha, Mestre, secou-se a figueira que amaldiçoaste.
22 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Tende fé em Deus.
23 Em verdade vos digo que qualquer que disser a este monte: Ergue-te e lança-te no mar; e não duvidar em seu coração, mas crer que se fará aquilo que diz, assim lhe será feito.
24 Por isso vos digo que tudo o que pedirdes em oração, crede que o recebereis, e tê-lo-eis.
25 Quando estiverdes orando, perdoai, se tendes alguma coisa contra alguém, para que também vosso Pai que está no céu, vos perdoe as vossas ofensas.
26 {Mas, se vós não perdoardes, também vosso Pai, que está no céu, não vos perdoará as vossas ofensas.}
27 Vieram de novo a Jerusalém. E andando Jesus pelo templo, aproximaram-se dele os principais sacerdotes, os escribas e os anciãos,
28 que lhe perguntaram: Com que autoridade fazes tu estas coisas? ou quem te deu autoridade para fazê-las?
29 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Eu vos perguntarei uma coisa; respondei-me, pois, e eu vos direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas.
30 O batismo de João era do céu, ou dos homens? respondei-me.
31 Ao que eles arrazoavam entre si: Se dissermos: Do céu, ele dirá: Então por que não o crestes?
32 Mas diremos, porventura: Dos homens?-É que temiam o povo; porque todos verdadeiramente tinham a João como profeta.
33 Responderam, pois, a Jesus: Não sabemos. Replicou-lhes ele: Nem eu vos digo com que autoridade faço estas coisas.
1 And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:
3 and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.`
4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,
5 and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?`
6 and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.
7 And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,
8 and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.
9 And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.`
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,
13 and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,
14 and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee -- to the age -- may any eat fruit;` and his disciples were hearing.
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,
16 and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,
17 and he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?`
18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;
19 and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.
20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,
21 and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.`
22 And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;
23 for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.
24 Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
25 `And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;
26 and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.`
27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?`
29 And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;
30 the baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.`
31 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
32 But if we may say, From men,` -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;
33 and answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;` and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.`
