1And, when they drew near unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then, Jesus sent forth two disciples; 2saying unto themBe going into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, ye shall find an ass, bound, and a colt with her,loose them, and lead them unto me. 3And, if anyone, unto you, say aught, ye shall sayTheir Lord, hath, need,and, straightway, he will send them. 4But, this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying: 5Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy King, is coming unto thee, meek and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a toiling ass. 6And the disciples, went, and did as Jesus directed them; 7and led the ass and the colt, and laid upon them their garments, and he took his seat upon them. 8And, the chief multitude, spread their own mantles in the way, and, others, were cutting off young branches from the trees, and spreading them in the way; 9and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, sayingHosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest. 10And, when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was startled, sayingWho is this? 11And, the multitudes, were sayingThis, is the prophet Jesus,He from Nazareth of Galilee. 12And Jesus entered into the temple, and cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple,and, the tables of the money-changers, he overthrew, and the seats of them who were selling doves; 13and saith unto themIt is written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called; but, ye, are making it, A den of robbers! 14And there came unto him blind and lame, in the temple, and he cured them. 15But the Chief-priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased; 16and said unto himHearest thou what these are saying? And, Jesus, saith unto themYea: Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, hast thou prepared praise? 17And, leaving them behind, he went forth outside the city into Bethany, and spent the night there. 18And, early, returning into the city, he hungered; 19and, seeing one fig-tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only,and he saith unto itNo more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age-abiding,and the fig-tree, instantly withered away. 20And the disciples, seeing it, marvelled, sayingHow instantly, did the fig-tree wither away. 21And Jesus, answering, said unto themVerily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only, this of the fig-tree, shall ye do,but, even if, unto this mountain, ye shall say, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it shall be done. 22And, all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 23And, when he, entered, the temple, the Chief-priests and the Elders of the people, came unto him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority, these things, art thou doing? and, who, to thee, gave, this authority? 24And, making answer, Jesus said unto themI also, will ask, you, one thing,which if ye tell me, I also, will tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing: 25The immersion by John, whence was it? Of heaven, or of men? But, they, began to deliberate among themselves, sayingIf we say, Of heaven; He will say unto us, Wherefore then did ye not believe him? 26But, if we say, Of men, we fear the multitude, for, all, as a prophet, are holding John. 27And, making answer to Jesus, they saidWe know not. He also, said unto themNeither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing. 28But how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, to-day, be working in the vineyard. 29And, he, answering, said, I, sir! and went not; 30And, coming unto the second, he spake, in like manner,and, he, answering, said, I will not: afterwards, smitten with regret, he went. 31Which of the two, did the will of the father? They say, The latter. Jesus saith unto themVerily, I say unto you, the tax-collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God; 32For John came unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not,but, the tax-collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as to believe him. 33Another parable, hear ye:A man there was, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and, a wall around it, placed, and digged in it a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen,and left home. 34And, when the season of fruits drew near, He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits. 35And the husbandmen, taking his servants, one, indeed, they beat, and, another, slew,and, another, stoned. 36Again, sent he forth other servants, more than the first, and they did unto them, likewise. 37Afterwards, however, he sent forth unto them his son, saying,They will pay deference unto my son! 38But, the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves,This, is, the heir: Come on! Let us slay him, and have his inheritance. 39And, taking him, they cast him forth outside the vineyard,and slew him. 40When therefore the master of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41They say unto himMiserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons. 42Jesus saith unto themHave ye, never, read in the Scriptures, A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become, head of the corner: From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes. 43Wherefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God, will be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof: 44And, he that falleth on this stone, will be sorely bruised; but, on whomsoever it may fall, it will utterly destroy him. 45And the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking. 46And, seeking to secure him, they feared the multitudes; since, for a prophet, were they holding him.
