1Kai hote engizala eis Hierosolumeim kai erchala eis Bēthfagē ⸀eis tem Orem taiu Elaiaiu, tote ⸀Iēsus apostelata duo mathētoinAs they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples, 2legarōntos autoi; ⸀Poreuovōr eis tan kōman tan ⸀katenanti vu, kai ⸀eutheōs heuriskavi onan dorēntan kai pōlon meta autau; luarantois ⸀agavar mi.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. 3kai ean tinos vi legateia tinem, legavi hoti Tos kurios autoiu chreian echatō; ⸀euthuos de ⸀apostelati autoin.If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” 4Houtem ⸀de genatē hina plēriteia tem legirantem dia tou profētou legarōntou;This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: 5Legavar ta thugatra Siōn; Idou tos basilevos su erchotō si prauos kai epibainarēntos epi onan kai ⸀epi pōlon huion hupozugieu.“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.’” 6poreuirantois de tois mathētois kai poiarantois kathōs ⸀suntassata autoi tos IēsusSo the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7agala tan onan kai ton pōlon, kai epitithala ⸀epi autoiu teim ⸀himatieim, kai epikathizata epanō autoiu.They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. 8tos de pollotatos ochlos strōnnuala heautoiu teim himatieim en ta hoda, allosois de koptale kladoin apo teiu dendreiu kai strōnnuale en ta hoda.A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9tois de ochlois tois proagarōntois ⸀auton kai tois akoloutharōntois krazale legarōntois; Hōsanna to huio David; Eulogorēntos tos erchorōntos en onome kuriou; Hōsanna en tei hupsistei.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!” 10kai eisercharantou autou eis Hierosolumeim seiita pantas tas polas legarōntas; Tinos atō houtos?When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” 11tois de ochlois legale; Houtos atō ⸂tos profētos Iēsus⸃ tos apo Nazareth tau Galilaiau.The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” 12Kai eiserchata ⸀Iēsus eis tem ⸀hierem, kai ekbalata pantoin toin pōlarōntoin kai agorazarōntoin en te hiere kai tain trapezain toiu kollubistoiu katastrefata kai tain kathedrain toiu pōlarōntoiu tain peristerain,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. 13kai legatō autoi; Grafotē; Tos oikos mu oikos proseuchau kaliti, vis de auton ⸀poiavō spēlaiem lēstoiu.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.’” 14Kai proserchala auto ⸂tuflois kai chōlois⸃ en te hiere, kai therapeuata autoin.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them. 15horarantois de tois archierevois kai tois grammatevois teim thaumasieim heim poiata kai toin paidoin ⸀toin krazarōntoin en te hiere kai legarōntoin; Hōsanna to huio David aganaktalaBut 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!” 16kai legala auto; Akouasō tinem houtois legalō? tos de Iēsus legatō autoi; Nai. oudepote anagnōskava hoti Ek stomeu nēpioiu kai thēlazarōntoiu katartizesa ainon?“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’?” 17kai kataleiparantos autoin exerchata exō tau polau eis Bēthanian, kai aulizita ekei.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night. 18⸀Prōi de ⸀epanagarōntos eis tan polan peinata.In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry. 19kai horarantos sukan henan epi tau hodau erchata epi autan, kai oudenem heuriskata en auta ei mē fulleim monem, kai legatō auta; ⸀Mēketi ek su karpos geneteia eis ton aiōnon; kai xēranita parachrēma tas sukas.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. 20kai horarantois tois mathētois thaumazala legarōntois; Pōs parachrēma xēranita tas sukas?When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” 21apokrinirantos de tos Iēsus legata autoi; Amēn legamō vi, ean echaveiō pistian kai mē diakriniveia, ouk monem tem tau sukau poiavi, alla kan te ore houte legaveia; Airisar kai balisar eis tan thalassan, geneti;“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. 22kai panteim hoseim ⸀an aitaveia en ta proseucha pisteuarōntois labevi.If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” 23Kai ⸂ercharantou autou⸃ eis tem hierem proserchala auto didaskarōnto tois archierevois kai tois presbuterois tou laou legarōntois; En poia exousia houteim poiasō? kai tinos si dōata tan exousian houtan?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?” 24apokrinirantos de tos Iēsus legata autoi; Erōtami vin kamis logon henon, hon ean legaveia mi kamis vi legami en poia exousia houteim poiamō;“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. 25tem baptismem ⸀tem Iōannou pothen ate? ek ouranou ē ek anthrōpoiu? tois de dialogizole ⸀en heautoi legarōntois; Ean leganeia; Ek ouranou, legati ni; Dia tinem oun ouk pisteuava auto?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?’ 26ean de leganeia; Ek anthrōpoiu, fobonō ton ochlon, pantois gar ⸂hōs profēton echalō ton Iōannon.⸃But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.” 27kai apokrinirantois to Iēso legala; Ouk oidanē. fēate autoi kai autos; Oude mis legamō vi en poia exousia houteim poiamō.So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 28Tinem de vi dokatō? anthrōpos echate tekneim duo. ⸀prosercharantos te prōte legata; Teknem, hupagasōr sēmeron ergazosōr en to ⸀ampelōno.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.’ 29tos de apokrinirantos legata; ⸂Ouk thelamō; husterem de metamelirantos⸃ aperchata.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went. 30⸂prosercharantos de⸃ to ⸀deutero legata hōsautōs; tos de apokrinirantos legata; ⸂Mis, kurior; kai ouk⸃ aperchata.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go. 31tinos ek toiu duo poiata tem thelēmem tou patrou? ⸀legalō; Tos ⸀prōtos. legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Amēn legamō vi hoti tois telōnois kai tais pornais proagalō vin eis tan basileian tou theou.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. 32erchata gar ⸂Iōannos pros vin⸃ en hoda dikaiosunau, kai ouk pisteuava auto; tois de telōnois kai tais pornais pisteuala auto; vis de horarantois ⸀oude metameliva husterem teu pisteuara auto.For John came to you in the way of righteousness, 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. 33Allosan parabolan akouavar. ⸀Anthrōpos ate oikodespotos hotinos futeuata ampelōnon kai fragmon auto peritithata kai orussata en auto lēnan kai oikodomata purgon, kai ekdōeta auton geōrgoi, kai apodēmata.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. 34hote de engizata tos kairos toiu karpoiu, apostelata toin douloin autou pros toin geōrgoin labara toin karpoin autou.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit. 35kai labarantois tois geōrgois toin douloin autou hon men derala, hon de apoktenala, hon de lithobolala.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 36palin apostelata allosoin douloin polloteroin toiu prōtoiu, kai poiala autoi hōsautōs.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them. 37husterem de apostelata pros autoin ton huion autou legarōntos; Entrapili ton huion mu.Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. 38tois de geōrgois horarantois ton huion legala en heautoi; Houtos atō tos klēronomos; deute apoktenaneia auton kai ⸀echaneia tan klēronomian autou;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.’ 39kai labarantois auton ekbalala exō tou ampelōnou kai apoktenala.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40hotan oun erchateia tos kurios tou ampelōnou, tinem poiati toi geōrgoi ekeinoi?Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?” 41legalō auto; Kakosoin kakōs apolati autoin, kai ton ampelōnon ekdōeti allosoi geōrgoi, hotinois apodōali auto toin karpoin en toi kairoi autoiu.“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.” 42Legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Oudepote anagnōskava en tai grafai; Lithon hon apodokimazala tois oikodomarōntois houtos genita eis kefalan gōniau; para kuriou geneta houtas, kai atō thaumastas en ofthalmoi nu?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’? 43dia houtem legamō vi hoti airiti apo vu tas basileias tou theou kai dōiti ethne poiarōnte toin karpoin autau.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. 44⸂Kai tos piptarantos epi ton lithon houton sunthliti; epi hon de an piptateia likmati auton.⸃He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.” 45Kai akouarantois tois archierevois kai tois Farisaiois tain parabolain autou gnōskala hoti peri autoiu legatō;When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them. 46kai zētarōntois auton kratara fobila toin ochloin, ⸂epei eis⸃ profēton auton echale.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
