1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him . 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. 4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, 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 strawed them in the way. 9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh 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 round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 ¶ And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing 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 thee hereafter for ever. 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 moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16 And would not suffer 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 ye 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 was astonished at his doctrine. 19 And when even 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 saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them , and ye shall have them . 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 ¶ And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, 28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee 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 with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye 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 saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jēzus iejāj Jeruzālemē
(Mt 21:1–11Lk 19:28–40Jņ 12:12–19)1 Kad tie tuvojās Jeruzālemei, Bētfagei un Bētanijai pie Olīvkalna, viņš sūtīja divus savus mācekļus 2 un tiem sacīja: “Dodieties uz ciemu, kas jūsu priekšā. Tur iegājuši jūs tūlīt atradīsit piesietu ēzelīti, uz kura vēl neviens cilvēks nav sēdējis. Atraisiet to un vediet šurp! 3 Ja kāds jums jautās: kādēļ jūs tā darāt? – tad sakiet: Kungam to vajag, un tūlīt viņš to atsūtīs atpakaļ.” 4 Un tie aizgāja un atrada ēzelīti, piesietu ārā pie durvīm, un to atraisīja. 5 Kādi no tiem, kas tur stāvēja, viņiem jautāja: “Ko jūs darāt, kādēļ jūs atraisāt ēzelīti?” 6 Un viņi atbildēja, kā Jēzus tiem bija teicis. Un tie viņus atlaida. 7 Tie atveda ēzelīti pie Jēzus, uzsedza tam savas drēbes, un viņš sēdās tam virsū. 8 Un daudzi izklāja uz ceļa savas drēbes, bet citi koku zarus, ko bija nocirtuši laukos. 9 Un tie, kas gāja pa priekšu, un tie, kas sekoja, kliedza: “Ozianna, lai svētīts, kas nāk Kunga vārdā! 10 Lai slavēta mūsu tēva Dāvida valstība, kas tuvojas! Ozianna augstībā!” 11 Jēzus iegāja Jeruzālemē templī, un, kad viņš visu bija aplūkojis un bija jau vakara stunda, viņš ar tiem divpadsmit aizgāja uz Bētaniju.
Vīģes koka nolādēšana
(Mt 21:18–19)12 Nākamajā dienā, kad viņi izgāja no Bētanijas, Jēzum gribējās ēst. 13 Ieraudzījis no tālienes salapojušu vīģes koku, viņš gāja pie tā, lai ko atrastu, un, nonācis pie tā, viņš neatrada nekā cita kā vien lapas, jo nebija vīģu laiks. 14 Viņš uzrunāja to, sacīdams: “Lai nemūžam neviens vairs neēd augļus no tevis!” Un viņa mācekļi to dzirdēja.
Jēzus izdzen tirgotājus no tempļa
(Mt 21:12–17Lk 19:45–48Jņ 2:13–22)15 Tad viņi nonāca Jeruzālemē. Templī iegājis, viņš sāka dzīt ārā tos, kas templī pārdeva un pirka, un apgāza naudas mijēju galdus un baložu pārdevēju solus. 16 Un viņš neļāva neko nest caur tempļa pagalmu. 17 Viņš tos mācīja: “Vai nav rakstīts: mans nams tiks saukts par lūgšanas namu visām tautām? – Bet jūs to esat pārvērtuši par laupītāju midzeni.” 18 To dzirdēja virspriesteri un rakstu mācītāji, un tie meklēja, kā viņu pazudināt, jo tie baidījās no viņa, tādēļ ka visi ļaudis apbrīnoja viņa mācību. 19 Kad iestājās vakars, tie izgāja no pilsētas.
Neauglīgais vīģes koks nokaltis
(Mt 21:20–22)20 Rīta agrumā garām iedami, tie redzēja vīģes koku nokaltušu līdz pat saknēm. 21 Un Pēteris atcerējies sacīja viņam: “Rabi, redzi, vīģes koks, kuru tu nolādēji, ir nokaltis.” 22 Jēzus viņiem atbildēja: “Ticiet Dievam! 23 Patiesi es jums saku: ja kāds šim kalnam teiks: celies un meties jūrā! – un kas nešaubīsies savā sirdī, bet ticēs, ka notiks tas, ko viņš saka, tad viņam tas arī notiks. 24 Tādēļ es jums saku: visu, ko jūs lūdzat vai prasāt, ticiet, ka jūs to saņemsiet, un tas jums arī būs. 25 Kad jūs nostājaties, lai Dievu lūgtu, piedodiet, ja jums ir kaut kas pret kādu, lai arī jūsu Tēvs, kas ir debesīs, jums piedotu jūsu pārkāpumus. 26 Bet, ja jūs nepiedosiet, arī jūsu Tēvs debesīs jūsu pārkāpumus jums nepiedos.”
Jēzus pilnvaras apšaubīšana
(Mt 21:23–27Lk 20:1–8)27 Tad tie atkal ieradās Jeruzālemē. Viņam templī staigājot, pie viņa pienāca virspriesteri, rakstu mācītāji un vecajie. 28 Un tie viņam jautāja: “Kā varā tu to dari? Kas tev ir devis varu to darīt?” 29 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Arī es jums uzdošu vienu jautājumu, un atbildiet man, tad es jums teikšu, kā varā es visu to daru. 30 Jāņa kristība nāca no debesīm vai no cilvēkiem? Atbildiet man!” 31 Un tie sprieda savā starpā: “Ko lai sakām? Ja sacīsim: no debesīm, – viņš teiks: kādēļ tad jūs neticējāt viņam? 32 Vai lai sakām: no cilvēkiem?” Taču viņi baidījās no ļaudīm, jo visi par Jāni domāja, ka tas patiesi bijis pravietis. 33 Un viņi Jēzum atbildēja: “Mēs nezinām.” Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Tad arī es jums neteikšu, kā varā es to daru.”
