1And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓϯⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲱ ⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲏϫ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥ ⲃⲟⲗⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲓ.
2Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.

3And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.

4Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

5Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

6And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.

7And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.

8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:

9And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

10And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?

11And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.

12And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:

13And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.

14And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.

15And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.

16And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

17And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.

18And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.

19And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.

20And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?

21And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.

23And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?

24Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

25The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:

26If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.

27And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

28But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.

31Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.

32For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.

33Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.

34And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.

35And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

36Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
