¹[] Και οτε επλησιασαν εις Ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εις Βηθφαγη προς το ορος των ελαιων, τοτε ο Ιησους απεστειλε δυο μαθητας,

¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

²λεγων προς αυτους· Υπαγετε εις την κωμην την απεναντι υμων, και ευθυς θελετε ευρει ονον δεδεμενην και πωλαριον μετ' αυτης· λυσατε και φερετε μοι.

²saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.

³Και εαν τις σας ειπη τι, θελετε ειπει οτι ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτων· και ευθυς θελει αποστειλει αυτα.

³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

⁴Τουτο δε ολον εγεινε δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου, λεγοντος·

⁴All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁵Ειπατε προς την θυγατερα Σιων, Ιδου, ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται προς σε πραυς και καθημενος επι ονου και πωλου υιου υποζυγιου.

⁵“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9

⁶Πορευθεντες δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντες καθως προσεταξεν αυτους ο Ιησους,

⁶The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them,

⁷εφεραν την ονον και το πωλαριον, και εβαλον επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων και επεκαθισαν αυτον επανω αυτων.

⁷and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

⁸Ο δε περισσοτερος οχλος εστρωσαν τα ιματια εαυτων εις την οδον, αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδους απο των δενδρων και εστρωνον εις την οδον.

⁸A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.

⁹Οι δε οχλοι οι προπορευομενοι και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον, λεγοντες· Ωσαννα τω υιω Δαβιδ· ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι Κυριου· Ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις.

⁹The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Psalm 118:26

¹⁰Και οτε εισηλθεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, εσεισθη πασα η πολις, λεγουσα· Τις ειναι ουτος;

¹⁰When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

¹¹Οι δε οχλοι ελεγον· Ουτος ειναι Ιησους ο προφητης ο απο Ναζαρετ της Γαλιλαιας.

¹¹The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

¹²[] Και εισηλθεν ο Ιησους εις το ιερον του Θεου και εξεβαλε παντας τους πωλουντας και αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω, και τας τραπεζας των αργυραμοιβων ανετρεψε και τα καθισματα των πωλουντων τας περιστερας,

¹²Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹³και λεγει προς αυτους· Ειναι γεγραμμενον, Ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης θελει ονομαζεσθαι; σεις δε εκαμετε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων.

¹³He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁴Και προσηλθον προς αυτον τυφλοι και χωλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτους.

¹⁴The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹⁵Ιδοντες δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις τα θαυμασια, τα οποια εκαμε, και τους παιδας κραζοντας εν τω ιερω και λεγοντας, Ωσαννα τω υιω Δαβιδ, ηγανακτησαν

¹⁵But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

¹⁶και ειπον προς αυτον· Ακουεις τι λεγουσιν ουτοι; Ο δε Ιησους λεγει προς αυτους· Ναι· ποτε δεν ανεγνωσατε οτι εκ στοματος νηπιων και θηλαζοντων ητοιμασας αινεσιν;

¹⁶and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’” Psalm 8:2

¹⁷Και αφησας αυτους εξηλθεν εξω της πολεως εις Βηθανιαν και διενυκτερευσεν εκει.

¹⁷He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

¹⁸[] Οτε δε το πρωι επεστρεφεν εις την πολιν, επεινασε·

¹⁸Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

¹⁹και ιδων μιαν συκην επι της οδου, ηλθε προς αυτην και ουδεν ηυρεν επ' αυτην ειμη φυλλα μονον, και λεγει προς αυτην· να μη γεινη πλεον απο σου καρπος εις τον αιωνα. Και παρευθυς εξηρανθη η συκη.

¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

²⁰Και ιδοντες οι μαθηται, εθαυμασαν λεγοντες· Πως παρευθυς εξηρανθη συκη;

²⁰When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

²¹Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους· Αληθως σας λεγω, εαν εχητε πιστιν και δεν διστασητε, ουχι μονον το της συκης θελετε καμει, αλλα και εις το ορος τουτο αν ειπητε, Σηκωθητι και ριφθητι εις την θαλασσαν, θελει γεινει·

²¹Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

²²και παντα οσα αν ζητησητε εν τη προσευχη εχοντες πιστιν θελετε λαβει.

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

²³[] Και οτε ηλθεν εις το ιερον, προσηλθον προς αυτον, ενω εδιδασκεν οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου, λεγοντες· Εν ποια εξουσια πραττεις ταυτα, και τις σοι εδωκε την εξουσιαν ταυτην;

²³When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

²⁴Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους· Θελω σας ερωτησει και εγω ενα λογον, τον οποιον εαν μοι ειπητε, και εγω θελω σας ειπει εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα·

²⁴Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁵το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου ποθεν ητο, εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων; Και εκεινοι διελογιζοντο καθ' εαυτους λεγοντες· Εαν ειπωμεν, Εξ ουρανου, θελει ειπει προς ημας, Δια τι λοιπον δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον·

²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

²⁶εαν δε ειπωμεν, Εξ ανθρωπων, φοβουμεθα τον οχλον· διοτι παντες εχουσι τον Ιωαννην ως προφητην.

²⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

²⁷Και αποκριθεντες προς τον Ιησουν, ειπον· Δεν εξευρομεν. Ειπε προς αυτους και αυτος· Ουδε εγω λεγω προς υμας εν ποια εξουσια πραττω ταυτα.

²⁷They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁸[] Αλλα τι σας φαινεται; Ανθρωπος τις ειχε δυο υιους, και ελθων προς τον πρωτον ειπε· Τεκνον, υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου.

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

²⁹Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε· Δεν θελω· υστερον ομως μετανοησας υπηγε.

²⁹ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

³⁰Και ελθων προς τον δευτερον ειπεν ωσαυτως. Και εκεινος αποκριθεις ειπεν· Εγω υπαγω, κυριε· και δεν υπηγε.

³⁰ He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

³¹Τις εκ των δυο εκαμε το θελημα του πατρος; Λεγουσι προς αυτον· Ο πρωτος. Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους· Αληθως σας λεγω οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι υπαγουσι προτερον υμων εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

³²Διοτι ηλθε προς υμας ο Ιωαννης εν οδω δικαιοσυνης, και δεν επιστευσατε εις αυτον· οι τελωναι ομως και αι πορναι επιστευσαν εις αυτον· σεις δε ιδοντες δεν μετεμεληθητε υστερον, ωστε να πιστευσητε εις αυτον.

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

³³[] Αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε. Ητο ανθρωπος τις οικοδεσποτης, οστις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και περιεβαλεν εις αυτον φραγμον και εσκαψεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησε πυργον, και εμισθωσεν αυτον εις γεωργους και απεδημησεν.

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

³⁴Οτε δε επλησιασεν ο καιρος των καρπων, απεστειλε τους δουλους αυτου προς τους γεωργους δια να λαβωσι τους καρπους αυτου.

³⁴ When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

³⁵Και πιασαντες οι γεωργοι τους δουλους αυτου, αλλον μεν εδειραν, αλλον δε εφονευσαν, αλλον δε ελιθοβολησαν.

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁶Παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους πλειοτερους των πρωτων, και εκαμον εις αυτους ωσαυτως.

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

³⁷Υστερον δε απεστειλε προς αυτους τον υιον αυτου λεγων· Θελουσιν εντραπη τον υιον μου.

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

³⁸Αλλ' οι γεωργοι, ιδοντες τον υιον, ειπον προς αλληλους· Ουτος ειναι ο κληρονομος· ελθετε, ας φονευσωμεν αυτον και ας κατακρατησωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου.

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’

³⁹Και πιασαντες αυτον, εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνος και εφονευσαν.

³⁹ So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

⁴⁰Οταν λοιπον ελθη ο κυριος του αμπελωνος, τι θελει καμει εις τους γεωργους εκεινους;

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

⁴¹Λεγουσι προς αυτον· Κακους κακως θελει απολεσει αυτους, και τον αμπελωνα θελει μισθωσει εις αλλους γεωργους, οιτινες θελουσιν αποδωσει εις αυτον τους καρπους εν τοις καιροις αυτων.

⁴¹They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.”

⁴²Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους· Ποτε δεν ανεγνωσατε εν ταις γραφαις, Ο λιθος, τον οποιον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας· παρα Κυριου εγεινεν αυτη και ειναι θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις υμων;

⁴²Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?’ Psalm 118:22-23

⁴³Δια τουτο λεγω προς υμας οτι θελει αφαιρεθη αφ' υμων η βασιλεια του Θεου και θελει δοθη εις εθνος καμνον τους καρπους αυτης·

⁴³ “Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.

⁴⁴και οστις πεση επι τον λιθον τουτον θελει συντριφθη· εις οντινα δε επιπεση, θελει κατασυντριψει αυτον.

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

⁴⁵Και ακουσαντες οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι τας παραβολας αυτου, ενοησαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει·

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

⁴⁶και ζητουντες να πιασωσιν αυτον, εφοβηθησαν τους οχλους, επειδη ειχον αυτον ως προφητην.

⁴⁶When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
