Young's Literal Translation
As
they approached
Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on
the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out
two disciples,
And
when
they came
nigh
to
Jerusalem ,
and came to Bethphage ,
unto
the mount of the
Olives, then
Jesus sent two disciples,
saying to them, “
Go into
the village ahead
of
you, and at
once
you
will
find a
donkey
tied
there
, with
her
colt beside
her .
Untie
them
and
bring them
to Me .
saying to them, `
Go on
to
the village over-against
you, and immediately
ye
shall
find an
ass
bound
, and
a
colt with
her --
having
loosed,
bring ye
to me ;
If anyone
questions
you, tell
him
that the Lord needs
them, and he will send them right
away
. ”
and
if any
one
may
say
anything
to
you, ye
shall
say,
that the lord hath
need
of
them, and immediately
he will send them. '
This took
place
to fulfill
what
was spoken through the prophet :
And
all
this came
to pass,
that
it
might
be
fulfilled
that
was spoken through the prophet ,
saying,
“Say
to
the Daughter of Zion, ‘See
, your
King comes
to you
, gentle
and riding
on a
donkey
, on
a colt, the
foal of a donkey
. ’”
`Tell
ye
the daughter of Zion, Lo
, thy
king doth
come
to thee
, meek,
and mounted
on an
ass
, and
a colt, a
foal of a beast
of
burden
. '
So
the disciples went
and did
as Jesus had
directed
them .
And
the disciples having
gone
and having
done
as Jesus commanded
them ,
They
brought the donkey
and the colt and laid
their
cloaks
on them, and Jesus
sat
on
them .
brought the ass
and the colt ,
and did
put
on them their
garments
, and set
`him'
upon
them ;
A
massive
crowd
spread their cloaks
on
the road
, while
others cut
branches from the trees and spread
them
on
the road.
and
the
very
great
multitude
spread their own
garments
in
the way
, and
others were
cutting
branches from the trees ,
and were
strewing
in
the way,
The crowds
that
went
ahead
of
Him
and those
that
followed
were shouting:
“
Hosanna to the Son of David !”
“
Blessed is He who comes
in the name of the Lord !”
“
Hosanna in the highest !”
and
the multitudes
who
were
going
before,
and who
were following,
were
crying,
saying,
`
Hosanna to the Son of David ,
blessed is he who is
coming
in the name of the Lord ;
Hosanna in the highest .'
When
Jesus
had
entered Jerusalem, the whole
city was stirred
and
asked
, “
Who is this? ”
And
he
having
entered into
Jerusalem, all
the city was moved
, saying,
`
Who is this? '
The crowds
replied
, “
This is Jesus ,
the prophet from Nazareth in
Galilee. ”
And
the multitudes
said
, `
This is Jesus the prophet ,
who
`is'
from Nazareth of
Galilee. '
Then
Jesus entered the temple courts
and drove
out
all who
were
buying and selling
there.
He
overturned
the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves .
And
Jesus entered into
the temple of
God,
and did
cast
forth
all those
selling
and
buying in
the
temple,
and the tables of the money -
changers he
overturned,
and the seats of those selling the
doves ,
And He declared
to them, “
It is
written :
‘
My house will
be
called
a house of prayer .’
But you
are
making
it ‘
a den of robbers. ’”
and he saith
to them, `
It hath
been
written ,
My house a house of prayer shall
be
called,
but ye
did
make
it a den of robbers. '
The
blind
and the
lame
came to Him at
the temple, and He healed them .
And there
came to him blind
and
lame
men
in
the temple, and he healed them ,
But
the chief priests and scribes were
indignant
when
they
saw
the wonders
He performed
and the children shouting
in the temple courts
, “
Hosanna to the Son of David !”
and
the chief priests and the
scribes having
seen
the wonderful
things
that
he did,
and the children crying
in the temple, and
saying,
`
Hosanna to the Son of David ,'
were
much
displeased;
“Do
you
hear
what these children
are
saying
? ”
they
asked.
“
Yes, ”
Jesus
answered.
“Have
you
never read :
‘From
the mouths
of children
and infants
You
have
ordained
praise ’
? ”
and
they
said
to
him,
`Hearest
thou
what these say
? '
And
Jesus
saith
to
them,
`
Yes, did
ye
never read ,
that,
Out
of
the mouth
of babes
and sucklings
Thou
didst
prepare
praise? '
Then
He
left them and
went out of the city to Bethany, where
He
spent
the
night.
And
having
left them ,
he
went forth
out of the city to Bethany, and
did
lodge
there,
In the morning ,
as
Jesus
was
returning
to the city, He was
hungry.
and
in the morning turning
back
to the city, he hungered,
Seeing
a fig tree by
the road
, He went
up
to it but
found nothing on
it except leaves .
“
May you
never
bear
fruit again!”
He
said.
And immediately
the tree withered.
and
having
seen
a certain
fig -
tree on
the way
, he came
to it ,
and
found nothing in
it except leaves only,
and
he
saith
to
it,
`No
more
from
thee
may fruit be
--
to
the
age;'
and forthwith
the fig-
tree withered.
When
the disciples saw
this
, they
marveled
and
asked
, “
How did the fig tree wither so
quickly
? ”
And
the disciples having
seen
, did
wonder
, saying,
`
How did the fig -
tree forthwith
wither? '
“Truly
I tell
you, ”
Jesus
replied,
“
if you
have faith and do
not doubt, not only will
you
do
what
was
done
to
the fig tree, but even if you
say
to this mountain
, ‘
Be lifted up and thrown
into the sea, ’
it will
happen.
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
`Verily
I say
to
you, If ye
may
have faith ,
and may
not doubt, not only this
of
the fig -
tree shall
ye
do
, but even if to this mount
ye
may
say
, Be lifted up and be
cast
into the sea, it shall
come
to
pass;
If
you
believe,
you
will
receive
whatever
you
ask for
in prayer. ”
and
all
--
as
much
as
ye
may
ask in the
prayer ,
believing,
ye
shall
receive
. '
When
Jesus
returned
to the temple courts
and
began
to
teach
, the chief priests and elders of the people came
up
to
Him.
“
By what authority are
You
doing
these things? ”
they
asked.
“
And who gave You
this authority? ”
And
he
having
come
to the temple, there
came
to
him
when
teaching
the chief priests and the
elders of the people ,
saying,
`
By what authority dost
thou
do
these things? and who gave thee
this authority? '
“
I will also
ask you one question,”
Jesus
replied
, “and
if you
answer
Me, I will tell you by what authority I am
doing
these things .
And
Jesus
answering
said
to
them,
`
I will ask you --
I
also
--
one word
, which
if ye
may
tell
me, I also
will tell you by what authority I do
these things ;
What
was
the source
of
John’s
baptism ?
Was it from heaven or from men? ”
They deliberated
among
themselves and
said
, “
If we say, ‘
From heaven ,’
He will ask
, ‘Why
then did you
not believe him? ’
the baptism of
John,
whence
was it ?
--
from heaven ,
or from men? '
And
they were
reasoning
with
themselves, saying,
`
If we should
say, From heaven ;
he will say
to
us
, Wherefore,
then ,
did ye
not believe him?
But
if we say, ‘
From men, ’
we are
afraid
of
the people
, for they
all regard
John as a prophet. ”
and
if we should
say, From men, we fear
the multitude
, for all hold
John as a prophet. '
So
they answered
, “
We do
not know
. ”
And
Jesus
replied,
“
Neither will
I tell you by what authority I am
doing
these things.
And
answering
Jesus
they said
, `
We have
not known
. '
He
said
to
them
--
he
also
--
`
Neither do
I tell you by what authority I do
these things.
But
what do
you
think? There
was
a man who
had two sons.
He
went
to the first one
and
said, ‘Son
, go and
work
today
in the
vineyard. ’
`And
what think ye
? A man had two children,
and
having
come
to the first ,
he
said, Child
, go ,
to-day
be
working
in my
vineyard. '
‘
I will not, ’
he
replied.
But later
he changed
his
mind
and
went.
And
he
answering
said,
`
I will not, '
but at
last,
having
repented,
he went.
Then
the
man
went
to the second son
and
told
him
the same thing.
‘
I will
, sir, ’
he
said.
But
he
did
not go.
`And
having
come
to the second ,
he
said
in
the same manner,
and
he
answering
said,
I `go'
, sir, and
went
not ;
Which of the two did the will of his
father? ”
“
The first ,”
they
answered
. Jesus said
to them, “Truly
I tell
you, the tax collectors
and prostitutes
are
entering
the kingdom
of
God
before you .
which of the two did the will of the
father? '
They
say
to
him,
`
The first. '
Jesus saith
to them, `Verily
I say
to
you, that
the tax -gatherers
and the harlots
do
go
before you into
the
reign
of
God,
For John came to
you in a
righteous
way and you
did not believe him, but
the tax collectors
and prostitutes
did .
And even
after
you
saw
this
, you
did
not repent
and
believe him.
for John came unto
you in the
way of
righteousness,
and ye
did not believe him, and
the tax -gatherers
and the
harlots
did believe
him,
and ye
, having
seen,
repented
not at
last
--
to
believe him.
Listen
to
another parable
: There was a landowner
who planted a vineyard .
He
put a wall
around
it, dug
a
winepress
in it, and built a tower .
Then
he
rented
it out to some
tenants
and went away
on
a
journey
.
`Hear
ye
another simile
: There was a certain
man,
a
householder,
who planted a vineyard ,
and
did
put a hedge
round
it, and
digged
in it a
wine-press
, and built a tower ,
and
gave
it out to husbandmen,
and went abroad
.
When the harvest
time
drew
near
, he sent his servants to
the tenants
to collect
his
share
of
the fruit.
`And
when the season
of
the
fruits
came
nigh
, he sent his servants unto
the husbandmen,
to receive
the fruits
of
it,
But
the tenants
seized
his servants .
They
beat
one, killed another
, and stoned a
third
.
and
the husbandmen
having
taken
his servants ,
one they
scourged
, and
one
they
killed, and one
they
stoned.
Again ,
he sent other servants ,
more than the first group.
But
the
tenants
did the
same
to them.
`
Again he sent other servants more than the first ,
and
they
did to them in
the
same
manner
.
Finally,
he sent his son to
them.
‘
They will respect
my son ,’
he
said.
`And
at
last
he sent unto
them
his son ,
saying,
They will reverence
my son ;
But
when
the tenants
saw
the son, they
said to
one
another
, ‘
This is the heir .
Come, let
us
kill him and take
his inheritance .’
and
the husbandmen
having
seen
the son, said among
themselves
, This is the heir ,
come, we
may
kill him ,
and may
possess
his inheritance ;
So
they
seized
him
and threw
him out of the vineyard and killed him .
and having
taken
him ,
they
cast
`him'
out of the vineyard ,
and killed him ;
Therefore ,
when
the owner
of the vineyard returns
, what will he do to those
tenants
? ”
whenever
therefore the lord
of the vineyard may
come
, what will he do to these
husbandmen
? '
“He
will
bring
those
wretches
to a
wretched
end
, ”
they
replied
, “
and will
rent
out
the vineyard to other tenants
who will give him his
share
of
the fruit
at
harvest
time
. ”
They
say
to him
, `Evil
men
--
he
will
evilly
destroy
them
, and the vineyard will
give
out
to other husbandmen,
who will give back
to
him the fruits
in
their
seasons
. '
Jesus said
to them, “Have
you
never read in the Scriptures:
‘The
stone the builders rejected
has
become
the
cornerstone.
This
is
from the Lord, and it is marvelous
in our eyes ’?
Jesus saith
to them, `Did
ye
never read in the Writings,
A
stone that
the builders disallowed,
it
became
head
of
a
corner;
from the Lord hath
this
come
to
pass
, and it is wonderful
in our eyes .
Therefore
I tell
you that the kingdom
of God will
be taken away
from you and given to a people
who
will
produce
its fruit .
`Because
of
this
I say
to
you ,
that the reign
of God shall
be taken from you ,
and given to a nation
bringing
forth
its fruit ;
He who falls
on this stone will
be broken to
pieces
, but
he
on whom
it falls
will be
crushed
. ”
and
he who is
falling
on this stone shall
be broken, and
on whomsoever
it may
fall
it
will crush
him
to
pieces
. '
When
the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables
, they
knew that Jesus
was
speaking
about
them .
And
the chief priests and the
Pharisees having
heard his similes
, knew that of
them he
speaketh,
Although
they
wanted
to arrest
Him, they were
afraid
of
the crowds
, because
the
people
regarded
Him as a prophet.
and
seeking
to lay
hold
on
him, they feared
the multitudes
, seeing
they
were
holding
him as a prophet.
