1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,2 And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.3 And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.4 And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.5 And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?6 And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.7 And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.8 And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields.9 And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:10 A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.11 And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.12 And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food.13 And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.14 And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.15 And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;16 And he would not let any man take a vessel through the Temple.17 And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.18 And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching.19 And every evening he went out of the town.20 And when they were going by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dead from the roots.21 And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.22 And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith.23 Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.24 For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.25 And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.26 []27 And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:28 And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you authority to do these things?29 And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.31 And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him?32 But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.33 And they said in answer to Jesus, We have no idea. And Jesus said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

1 Et cum appropinquarent Jerosolym et Bethani ad montem Olivarum, mittit duos ex discipulis suis, 2 et ait illis : Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim intrountes illuc, invenietis pullum ligatum, super quem nemo adhuc hominum sedit : solvite illum, et adducite. 3 Et si quis vobis dixerit : Quid facitis ? dicite, quia Domino necessarius est : et continuo illum dimittet huc. 4 Et abeuntes invenerunt pullum ligatum ante januam foris in bivio : et solvunt eum. 5 Et quidam de illic stantibus dicebant illis : Quid facitis solventes pullum ? 6 Qui dixerunt eis sicut prceperat illis Jesus, et dimiserunt eis. 7 Et duxerunt pullum ad Jesum : et imponunt illi vestimenta sua, et sedit super eum. 8 Multi autem vestimenta sua straverunt in via : alii autem frondes cdebant de arboribus, et sternebant in via. 9 Et qui pribant, et qui sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes : Hosanna : benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini : 10 benedictum quod venit regnum patris nostri David : hosanna in excelsis. 11 Et introivit Jerosolymam in templum : et circumspectis omnibus, cum jam vespera esset hora, exiit in Bethaniam cum duodecim.12 Et alia die cum exirent a Bethania, esuriit. 13 Cumque vidisset a longe ficum habentem folia, venit si quid forte inveniret in ea : et cum venisset ad eam, nihil invenit prter folia : non enim erat tempus ficorum. 14 Et respondens dixit ei : Jam non amplius in ternum ex te fructum quisquam manducet. Et audiebant discipuli ejus.15 Et veniunt in Jerosolymam. Et cum introisset in templum, cpit ejicere vendentes et ementes in templo : et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit : 16 et non sinebat ut quisquam transferret vas per templum : 17 et docebat, dicens eis : Nonne scriptum est : Quia domus mea, domus orationis vocabitur omnibus gentibus ? vos autem fecistis eam speluncam latronum. 18 Quo audito principes sacerdotum et scrib, qurebant quomodo eum perderent : timebant enim eum, quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina ejus. 19 Et cum vespera facta esset, egrediebatur de civitate.20 Et cum mane transirent, viderunt ficum aridam factam a radicibus. 21 Et recordatus Petrus, dixit ei : Rabbi, ecce ficus, cui maledixisti, aruit. 22 Et respondens Jesus ait illis : Habete fidem Dei. 23 Amen dico vobis, quia quicumque dixerit huic monti : Tollere, et mittere in mare, et non hsitaverit in corde suo, sed crediderit, quia quodcumque dixerit fiat, fiat ei. 24 Propterea dico vobis, omnia qucumque orantes petitis, credite quia accipietis, et evenient vobis. 25 Et cum stabitis ad orandum, dimittite si quis habetis adversus aliquem : ut et Pater vester, qui in clis est, dimittat vobis peccata vestra. 26 Quod si vos non dimiseritis : nec Pater vester, qui in clis est, dimittet vobis peccata vestra.27 Et veniunt rursus Jerosolymam. Et cum ambularet in templo, accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes, et scrib, et seniores : 28 et dicunt ei : In qua potestate hc facis ? et quis dedit tibi hanc potestatem ut ista facias ? 29 Jesus autem respondens, ait illis : Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum, et respondete mihi : et dicam vobis in qua potestate hc faciam. 30 Baptismus Joannis, de clo erat, an ex hominibus ? Respondete mihi. 31 At illi cogitabant secum, dicentes : Si dixerimus : De clo, dicet : Quare non credidistis ei ? 32 Si dixerimus : Ex hominibus, timemus populum : omnes enim habebant Joannem quia vere propheta esset. 33 Et respondentes dicunt Jesu : Nescimus. Et respondens Jesus ait illis : Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hc faciam.
