1 E, logo que se aproximaram de Jerusalém, de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto do Monte das Oliveiras, enviou dois dos seus discípulos,

2 E disse-lhes: Ide à aldeia que está defronte de vós; e, logo que ali entrardes, encontrareis preso um jumentinho, sobre o qual ainda não montou homem algum; soltai-o, e trazei-mo.

3 E, se alguém vos disser: Por que fazeis isso? Dizei-lhe que o Senhor precisa dele, e logo o deixará trazer para aqui.

4 E foram, e encontraram o jumentinho preso fora da porta, entre dois caminhos, e o soltaram.

5 E alguns dos que ali estavam lhes disseram: Que fazeis, soltando o jumentinho?

6 Eles, porém, disseram-lhes como Jesus lhes tinha mandado; e deixaram-nos ir.

7 E levaram o jumentinho a Jesus, e lançaram sobre ele as suas vestes, e assentou-se sobre ele.

8 E muitos estendiam as suas vestes pelo caminho, e outros cortavam ramos das árvores, e os espalhavam pelo caminho.

9 E aqueles que iam adiante, e os que seguiam, clamavam, dizendo: Hosana, bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor;

10 Bendito o reino do nosso pai Davi, que vem em nome do Senhor. Hosana nas alturas.

11 E Jesus entrou em Jerusalém, no templo e, tendo visto tudo em redor, como fosse já tarde, saiu para Betânia com os doze.

12 E, no dia seguinte, quando saíram de Betânia, teve fome.

13 E, vendo de longe uma figueira que tinha folhas, foi ver se nela acharia alguma coisa; e, chegando a ela, não achou senão folhas, porque não era tempo de figos.

14 E Jesus, falando, disse-lhe: Nunca mais coma alguém fruto de ti, para sempre. E os seus discípulos ouviram isto.

15 E vieram a Jerusalém; e Jesus, entrando no templo, começou a expulsar os que vendiam e compravam no templo; e derrubou as mesas dos cambistas e as cadeiras dos que vendiam pombas.

16 E não consentia que alguém levasse algum vaso pelo templo.

17 E os ensinava, dizendo: Não está escrito: A minha casa será chamada, por todas as nações, casa de oração? Mas vós a tendes feito covil de ladrões.

18 E os escribas e principais sacerdotes, tendo ouvido isto, buscavam ocasião para o matar; pois eles o temiam, porque toda a multidão estava admirada acerca da sua doutrina.

19 E, sendo já tarde, saiu para fora da cidade.

20 E eles, passando pela manhã, viram que a figueira se tinha secado desde as raízes.

21 E Pedro, lembrando-se, disse-lhe: Mestre, eis que a figueira, que tu amaldiçoaste, se secou.

22 E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhes: Tende fé em Deus;

23 Porque 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, tudo o que disser lhe será feito.

24 Por isso vos digo que todas as coisas que pedirdes, orando, crede receber, e tê-las-eis.

25 E, quando estiverdes orando, perdoai, se tendes alguma coisa contra alguém, para que 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 E tornaram a Jerusalém, e, andando ele pelo templo, os principais sacerdotes, e os escribas, e os anciãos, se aproximaram dele.

28 E lhe disseram: Com que autoridade fazes tu estas coisas? Ou quem te deu tal autoridade para fazer estas coisas?

29 Mas Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhes: Também eu vos perguntarei uma coisa, e respondei-me; e então vos direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas:

30 O batismo de João era do céu ou dos homens? Respondei-me.

31 E eles arrazoavam entre si, dizendo: Se dissermos: Do céu, ele nos dirá: Então por que o não crestes?

32 Se, porém, dissermos: Dos homens, tememos o povo. Porque todos sustentavam que João verdadeiramente era profeta.

33 E, respondendo, disseram a Jesus: Não sabemos. E Jesus lhes replicou: Também eu vos não direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas.

1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples,

2 And said unto them, Go your way into the village opposite you: and as soon as you are entered into it, you shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 And if any man say unto you, Why do you this? say that the Lord has need of him; and immediately he will send him here.

4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside in a place where two ways met; and they loosed him.

5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What are you doing, 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 spread them in the way.

9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord:

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that came 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 around upon all things, and now the evening was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 And on the next day, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find anything 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 you hereafter forever. 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 money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

16 And would not allow 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 you 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 were astonished at his doctrine.

19 And when evening 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 said unto him, Teacher, behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering said unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said.

24 Therefore I say unto you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them.

25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

27 And they came again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

28 And said unto him, By what authority do you these things? and who gave you 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 among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you 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 said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
