¹[] Και οτε πλησιαζουσιν εις Ιερουσαλημ εις Βηθφαγη και Βηθανιαν προς το ορος των Ελαιων, αποστελλει δυο των μαθητων αυτου

¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

²και λεγει προς αυτους· Υπαγετε εις την κωμην την κατεναντι υμων, και ευθυς εισερχομενοι εις αυτην θελετε ευρει πωλαριον δεδεμενον, επι του οποιου ουδεις ανθρωπος εκαθησε· λυσατε αυτο και φερετε.

²and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

³Και εαν τις ειπη προς εσας· Δια τι καμνετε τουτο; ειπατε οτι ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτου, και ευθυς θελει αποστειλει αυτο εδω.

³ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”

⁴Και υπηγον και ευρον το πωλαριον δεδεμενον προς την θυραν εξω επι της διοδου, και λυουσιν αυτο.

⁴They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

⁵Και τινες των εκει ισταμενων ελεγον προς αυτους· Τι καμνετε λυοντες το πωλαριον;

⁵Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”

⁶Οι δε ειπον προς αυτους καθως παρηγγειλεν ο Ιησους, και αφηκαν αυτους.

⁶They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

⁷Και εφεραν το πωλαριον προς τον Ιησουν και εβαλον επ' αυτου τα ιματια αυτων, και εκαθησεν επ' αυτου.

⁷They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

⁸Πολλοι δε εστρωσαν τα ιματια αυτων εις την οδον, αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωνον εις την οδον.

⁸Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

⁹Και οι προπορευομενοι και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον, λεγοντες· Ωσαννα, ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι Κυριου.

⁹Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:25-26

¹⁰Ευλογημενη η ερχομενη βασιλεια εν ονοματι Κυριου του πατρος ημων Δαβιδ· Ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις.

¹⁰Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

¹¹Και εισηλθεν ο Ιησους εις Ιεροσολυμα και εις το ιερον· και αφου περιεβλεψε παντα, επειδη η ωρα ητο ηδη προς εσπεραν, εξηλθεν εις Βηθανιαν μετα των δωδεκα.

¹¹Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹²[] Και τη επαυριον, αφου εξηλθον απο Βηθανιας, επεινασε·

¹²The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

¹³και ιδων μακροθεν συκην εχουσαν φυλλα, ηλθεν αν τυχον ευρη τι εν αυτη· και ελθων επ' αυτην ουδεν ευρεν ειμη φυλλα· διοτι δεν ητο καιρος συκων.

¹³Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

¹⁴Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτην· Μηδεις πλεον εις τον αιωνα να μη φαγη καρπον απο σου. Και ηκουον τουτο οι μαθηται αυτου.

¹⁴Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

¹⁵Και ερχονται εις Ιεροσολυμα· και εισελθων ο Ιησους εις το ιερον, ηρχισε να εκβαλλη τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω, και τας τραπεζας των αργυραμοιβων και τα καθισματα των πωλουντων τας περιστερας ανετρεψε,

¹⁵They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹⁶και δεν αφινε να περαση τις σκευος δια του ιερου,

¹⁶He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

¹⁷και εδιδασκε, λεγων προς αυτους· Δεν ειναι γεγραμμενον, οτι Ο οικος μου θελει ονομαζεσθαι οικος προσευχης δια παντα τα εθνη; σεις δε εκαμετε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων.

¹⁷He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ Isaiah 56:7 But you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁸Και ηκουσαν οι γραμματεις και οι αρχιερεις και εζητουν πως να απολεσωσιν αυτον· διοτι εφοβουντο αυτον, επειδη πας ο οχλος εξεπληττετο εις την διδαχην αυτου.

¹⁸The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁹Και οτε εγεινεν εσπερα, εξηρχετο εξω της πολεως.

¹⁹When evening came, he went out of the city.

²⁰Και το πρωι διαβαινοντες ειδον την συκην εξηραμμενην εκ ριζων.

²⁰As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

²¹Και ενθυμηθεις ο Πετρος, λεγει προς αυτον· Ραββι, ιδε, η συκη, την οποιαν κατηρασθης, εξηρανθη.

²¹Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

²²Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, λεγει προς αυτους· Εχετε πιστιν Θεου.

²²Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

²³Διοτι αληθως σας λεγω οτι οστις ειπη προς το ορος τουτο, Σηκωθητε και ριφθητι εις την θαλασσαν, και δεν δισταση εν τη καρδια αυτου, αλλα πιστευση οτι εκεινα τα οποια λεγει γινονται, θελει γεινει εις αυτον ο, τι εαν ειπη.

²³ For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

²⁴Δια τουτο σας λεγω, Παντα οσα προσευχομενοι ζητειτε, πιστευετε οτι λαμβανετε, και θελει γεινει εις εσας.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

²⁵Και οταν ιστασθε προσευχομενοι, συγχωρειτε εαν εχητε τι κατα τινος, δια να συγχωρηση εις εσας και ο Πατηρ σας ο εν τοις ουρανοις τα αμαρτηματα σας.

²⁵ Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

²⁶Αλλ' εαν σεις δεν συγχωρητε, ουδε ο Πατηρ σας ο εν τοις ουρανοις θελει συγχωρησει τα αμαρτηματα σας.

²⁶ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

²⁷[] Και ερχονται παλιν εις Ιεροσολυμα· και ενω περιεπατει εν τω ιερω, ερχονται προς αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι

²⁷They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

²⁸και λεγουσι προς αυτον· Εν ποια εξουσια πραττεις ταυτα; και τις σοι εδωκε την εξουσιαν ταυτην, δια να πραττης ταυτα;

²⁸and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”

²⁹Ο δε Ιησους αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους· Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, και αποκριθητε μοι, και θελω σας ειπει εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.

²⁹Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰Το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ητο η εξ ανθρωπων; αποκριθητε μοι.

³⁰ The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”

³¹Και διελογιζοντο καθ' εαυτους, λεγοντες· Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει· Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον;

³¹They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

³²Αλλ' εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων; εφοβουντο τον λαον· διοτι παντες ειχον τον Ιωαννην οτι ητο τωοντι προφητης.

³²If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

³³Και αποκριθεντες λεγουσι προς τον Ιησουν· Δεν εξευρομεν. Και ο Ιησους αποκριθεις λεγει προς αυτους· Ουδε εγω λεγω προς υμας εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.

³³They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
