1 耶稣和门徒走近耶路撒冷， 来到橄榄山的伯法其那里。耶稣派了两个门徒，
2 对他们说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 立刻就会看见一头驴拴在那里， 还有小驴跟它在一起。把它们解开， 牵来给我。
3 如果有人问你们， 就要说： ‘主需要它们。’他会立刻让你们牵走。"
4 这件事应验了先知所说的：
5 "要对锡安的居民（"居民"原文作"女子"）说： ‘看哪， 你的王来到你这里了； 他是温柔的， 他骑着驴， 骑的是小驴。’"
6 门徒照着耶稣的吩咐去作。
7 牵了驴和小驴来， 把衣服搭在它们上面， 耶稣就骑上。
8 有一大群人把自己的衣服铺在路上， 也有人从树上把树枝砍下来， 铺在路上。
9 前呼后拥的群众喊叫着： "‘和散那’归于大卫的子孙， 奉主名来的是应当称颂的， 高天之上当唱‘和散那’。"
10 耶稣进了耶路撒冷， 全城都震动起来， 他们问： "这人是谁？"
11 大家都说： "这就是那先知耶稣， 是从加利利的拿撒勒来的。"
12 耶稣进了圣殿， 把殿里所有作买卖的人赶走， 并推倒找换银钱的人的桌子， 和卖鸽子的人的凳子；
13 又对他们说： "经上记着： ‘我的殿要称为祷告的殿。’你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。"
14 殿里的瞎子和瘸腿的都走过来， 耶稣就医好他们。
15 祭司长和经学家看见耶稣所行的奇事， 又看见小孩子在殿中喊叫"‘和散那’归于大卫的子孙"， 就很忿怒，
16 对耶稣说： "你听见他们说什么吗？"耶稣说： "我听见了。’你从小孩和婴儿的口中， 得着了赞美。’这话你们没有念过吗？"
17 于是离开他们， 出了城， 来到伯大尼， 在那里过了一夜。
18 耶稣清早回城的时候， 觉得饿了。
19 他看见路旁有一棵无花果树， 就走过去； 但他在树上什么也找不到， 只有叶子， 就对树说： "你永远不再结果子了。"那棵树就立刻枯萎。
20 门徒看见了， 十分惊奇， 说： "这棵无花果树是怎样立刻枯萎的呢？"
21 耶稣回答他们： "我实在告诉你们， 如果你们有信心， 不怀疑， 不但能作我对无花果树所作的， 就是对这座山说‘移开， 投到海里去’， 也必成就。
22 你们祷告， 无论求什么， 只要相信， 都必得着。"
23 耶稣进了圣殿， 正在教导人的时候， 祭司长和民间的长老前来问他： "你凭什么权柄作这些事？谁给你这权柄？"
24 耶稣回答他们： "我也要问你们一句话， 如果你们告诉我， 我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄作这些事。
25 约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的呢？是从天上来的， 还是从人来的呢？"他们就彼此议论： "如果我们说‘是从天上来的’， 他会问我们’那你们为什么不信他呢？’
26 如果我们说‘是从人来的’， 我们又怕群众， 因为他们都认为约翰是先知。"
27 于是回答耶稣： "我们不知道。"耶稣也对他们说： "我也不告诉你们， 我凭什么权柄作这些事。
28 "你们认为怎样？有一个人， 他有两个儿子。他去对大儿子说： ‘孩子， 你今天到葡萄园去工作吧。’
29 他说： ‘我不想去。’但后来他改变主意， 就去了。
30 父亲又照样去吩咐小儿子。小儿子说： ‘父亲， 我会去的。’后来却没有去。
31 这两个儿子， 哪一个听父亲的话呢？"他们说： "大儿子。"耶稣对他们说： "我实在告诉你们： 税吏和娼妓比你们先进 神的国。
32 约翰来到你们那里， 指示你们行义路（或译： "约翰在义路中， 来到你们这里"）， 你们不信他； 税吏和娼妓却信了他。你们看见了之后， 还是没有改变心意去信他。
33 "你们再听一个比喻： 有一个家主， 栽种了一个葡萄园， 四面围上篱笆， 在园子里挖了一个压酒池， 盖了一座瞭望台， 然后把园子租给佃户， 就远行去了。
34 到了收成的时候， 园主派了仆人到佃户那里， 收取应该纳给他的果子。
35 佃户却抓住他的仆人， 打伤一个， 杀了一个， 又用石头打死一个。
36 于是园主再派其他的仆人去， 人数比前一次更多， 但佃户也是同样对付他们。
37 最后， 他派了自己的儿子去， 说： ‘他们必尊敬我的儿子。’
38 佃户看见他的儿子， 就彼此说： ‘这是继承产业的； 来， 我们杀了他， 占有他的产业吧！ ’
39 于是他们抓住他， 把他推出葡萄园外杀了。
40 那么， 葡萄园的主人来到的时候， 会怎样对待那些佃户呢？"
41 他们回答： "他会毫不留情地除掉那些恶人， 把葡萄园租给按时缴纳果子的佃户。"
42 耶稣对他们说： "经上记着： ‘建筑工人所弃的石头， 成了房角的主要石头； 这是主所作的， 在我们眼中看为希奇。’这话你们没有念过吗？
43 因此我告诉你们， 神的国要从你们那里取去， 赐给那结果子的外族人。
44 谁跌在这石头上， 就必摔碎； 这石头掉在谁的身上， 就必把他压得粉碎。"
45 祭司长和法利赛人听了耶稣这些比喻， 知道是指着他们说的。
46 他们想要逮捕他， 但又怕群众， 因为他们都认为耶稣是先知。
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and riding upon an ass,
And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them, 7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. 8 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; 13 and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation, 16 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away? 21 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him? 26 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. 29 And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner. 37 But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. 39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected,
The same was made the head of the corner;
This was from the Lord,
And it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
