Đức Giê-su Vào Thành Giê-ru-sa-lem(A)
11 Khi họ gần đến Bết-pha-giê và Bê-tha-ni tại núi Ô-liu gần thành Giê-ru-sa-lem, Đức Giê-su sai hai môn đệ đi trước, 2 và dặn rằng: “Hãy vào làng đối diện các con, vừa đến nơi các con sẽ thấy một con lừa con chưa ai cưỡi đang cột tại đó. Hãy mở ra và dắt về đây. 3 Nếu có ai hỏi: ‘Tại sao các anh làm vậy?’ Hãy bảo họ: ‘Chúa cần dùng nó, rồi sẽ trả lại đây ngay.’ ”
4 Họ đi và thấy một con lừa con đang cột trước cửa một căn nhà bên đường. Họ mở lừa ra. 5 Vài người trong số người đứng đó hỏi: “Các anh mở lừa con này làm gì?” 6 Hai môn đệ trả lời như Đức Giê-su đã dặn, thì người ta để cho họ đi. 7 Họ đem lừa về cho Đức Giê-su, trải áo mình trên nó, rồi Ngài ngồi lên. 8 Nhiều người trải áo mình trên đường, người khác trải lá cây vừa chặt ngoài đồng. 9 Người đi trước, kẻ theo sau đều tung hô:
“Hô-sa-na![a]
Phước cho Đấng nhân danh Chúa mà đến!
10 Phước cho vương quốc sắp đến của vua Đa-vít, tổ phụ chúng ta!
Hô-sa-na trên nơi chí cao!”
11 Đức Giê-su đến Giê-ru-sa-lem, đi vào đền thờ và quan sát mọi vật chung quanh. Lúc ấy trời đã tối nên Ngài và mười hai môn đệ đi về Bê-tha-ni.
Cây Vả Chết Khô(B)
12 Ngày hôm sau, khi họ rời làng Bê-tha-ni, Đức Giê-su cảm thấy đói. 13 Từ xa Ngài thấy một cây vả đầy lá nên đến tìm xem thử có trái nào không, nhưng khi đến nơi Ngài chỉ thấy lá vì lúc ấy chưa phải là mùa vả. 14 Đức Giê-su bảo cây vả rằng: “Từ nay về sau sẽ không một ai ăn trái của mày nữa.” Và các môn đệ Ngài đều nghe lời ấy.
Đức Giê-su Vào Đền Thờ(C)
15 Họ đến Giê-ru-sa-lem, khi vào đền thờ Đức Giê-su bắt đầu đuổi những người mua bán trong đền thờ. Ngài lật đổ bàn của bọn đổi tiền và ghế của những kẻ bán bồ câu. 16 Ngài cấm không cho ai đem đồ vật qua lại trong đền thờ. 17 Rồi Ngài truyền dạy họ: “Không phải Kinh Thánh đã chép rằng:
‘Nhà Ta sẽ gọi là
Nhà cầu nguyện cho mọi dân tộc sao?’
Nhưng các ngươi đã biến thành hang trộm cướp!”
18 Các thượng tế và các giáo sư Kinh Luật nghe được điều này thì tìm cách diệt Ngài vì họ sợ Ngài, bởi cả đoàn dân ngưỡng mộ sự giáo huấn của Ngài.
19 Tối đến, Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ rời khỏi thành phố.
Bài Học Cây Vả(D)
20 Sáng hôm sau, khi đi ngang qua đó, họ thấy cây vả đã chết khô đến tận rễ. 21 Phê-rơ nhớ lại nên thưa cùng Đức Giê-su: “Thưa Thầy xem kìa, cây vả mà Thầy quở đã chết khô rồi.”
22 Đức Giê-su trả lời: “Hãy có đức tin nơi Đức Chúa Trời. 23 Thật, Ta nói cùng các con, ai bảo ngọn núi này: Hãy cất lên và ném xuống biển mà lòng không chút nghi ngờ, nhưng tin những gì mình nói sẽ xảy ra thì sẽ đạt được. 24 Vì thế, Ta bảo các con, bất cứ điều gì các con cầu nguyện và nài xin, hãy tin mình đã được thì các con sẽ được như vậy. 25 Khi đang đứng cầu nguyện, nếu có điều gì bất bình với ai, các con hãy tha thứ, để Cha các con trên trời cũng tha thứ lỗi lầm cho các con. 26 Nếu các con không tha lỗi cho người khác, thì Cha các con ở trên trời cũng không tha thứ những lỗi lầm cho các con.”[b]
Thẩm Quyền Của Đức Giê-su(E)
27 Họ lại lên Giê-ru-sa-lem. Khi Đức Giê-su đang đi trong đền thờ, các thượng tế, các giáo sư Kinh Luật, và các trưởng lão đến hỏi Ngài: 28 “Bởi thẩm quyền nào Thầy làm những việc này? Ai cho Thầy thẩm quyền để có thể làm những việc đó?”
29 Đức Giê-su trả lời: “Ta hỏi các ông một câu, các ông hãy trả lời cho Ta, rồi Ta sẽ tỏ cho các ông rõ bởi thẩm quyền nào Ta làm những việc này: 30 ‘Giăng nhận thẩm quyền làm phép báp-tem từ Trời, hay từ người? Hãy trả lời cho Ta.’ ”
31 Họ bàn luận với nhau: “Nếu chúng ta trả lời ‘từ Đức Chúa Trời’ thì người sẽ nói: ‘Vậy tại sao các người không tin lời Giăng?’ 32 Nhưng chúng ta không thể nói: ‘Từ người?’ (Họ sợ dân chúng, vì mọi người đều tin rằng Giăng chính là vị tiên tri.)
33 Nên họ trả lời Ngài: ‘Chúng tôi không biết.’ ” Đức Giê-su bảo: “Ta cũng sẽ không nói cho các người bởi thẩm quyền nào Ta làm những việc này.”
Mark 11
New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany(C) at the Mount of Olives,(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.(E) Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna![a]”
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”(H)
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(I)
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts(J)(K)(L)
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.(M) 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]?(N) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”(O)
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(P) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(Q)
19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples[e] went out of the city.(R)
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(S) look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[f] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.(T) 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.(U) 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(V) [26] [g]
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(W)
27 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28 “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
29 Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
31 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)(X)
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

English Standard Version
The Triumphal Entry
11 (A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to (B)Bethphage and Bethany, at (C)the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent (D)two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, (E)on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many (F)spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, (G)“Hosanna! (H)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is (I)the coming (J)kingdom of (K)our father (L)David! (M)Hosanna (N)in the highest!”
11 (O)And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, (P)he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
12 (Q)On the following day, when they came from Bethany, (R)he was hungry. 13 (S)And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for (T)it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
15 (U)And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (V)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (W)pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, (X)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But (Y)you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and (Z)were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because (AA)all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 (AB)And when evening came they[b] went out of the city.
The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree
20 (AC)As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, (AD)“Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have (AE)faith in God. 23 (AF)Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, (AG)‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not (AH)doubt in his heart, but (AI)believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, (AJ)whatever you ask in prayer, (AK)believe that you (AL)have received[c] it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever (AM)you stand praying, (AN)forgive, (AO)if you have anything against anyone, so that (AP)your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[d]
The Authority of Jesus Challenged
27 (AQ)And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, (AR)“By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John (AS)from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, (AT)‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—(AU)they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was (AV)a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
