Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
1Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,
2saying 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.
2dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
3If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
3et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
4This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
4Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:
5“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.’”
5[Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subjugalis.]
6So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
6Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Jesus.
7They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
7Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
8A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
8Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem cædebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:
9The 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!”
9turbæ autem, quæ præcedebant, et quæ sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.
10When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
10Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
11The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
11Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.
12Then 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.
12Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
13And 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.’”
13et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
14The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.
14Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
15But 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!”
15Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ mirabilia quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,
16“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’?”
16et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
17Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
17Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
18In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
18Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.
19Seeing 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.
19Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea.
20When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
20Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
21“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.
21Respondens autem Jesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non hæsitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis: Tolle, et jacta te in mare, fiet.
22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
22Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
23When 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?”
23Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate hæc facis? et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?
24“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.
24Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.
25What 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?’
25Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
26But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”
26Si dixerimus, e cælo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Joannem sicut prophetam.
27So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
27Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
28But 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.’
28Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
29‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
29Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.
30Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.
30Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit:
31Which 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.
31quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Jesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei.
32For John came to you in a righteous way 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.
32Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei: publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.
33Listen 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.
33Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
34When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.
34Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.
35But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
35Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
36Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
36Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
37Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
37Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’
38Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus.
39So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
39Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
40Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
40Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?
41“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.”
41Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
42Jesus 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’?
42Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: [Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli: a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?]
43Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
43Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.
44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
44Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
45When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.
45Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
46Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
46Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
