Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
1Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,
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.
2dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
3If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
3et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
4All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
4Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:
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.”
5[Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subjugalis.]
6The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
6Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Jesus.
7and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
7Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
8A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. 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 multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept 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 he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
10Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
11The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
11Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.
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.
12Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
13He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
13et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
14The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
14Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
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,
15Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ mirabilia quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,
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 children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
16et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
17He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
17Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
18Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
18Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.
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.
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 it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
20Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
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.
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.
22All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
22Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
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?”
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?
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.
24Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.
25The 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?’
25Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
26But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold 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.
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.
27Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
28But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
28Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
29He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
29Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.
30He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t 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?” 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 God’s Kingdom 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 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.
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.
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 wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
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 season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
34Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.
35The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
35Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
36Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
36Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
37But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
37Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
38But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
38Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus.
39So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
39Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
40Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?
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.”
41Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
42Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. 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?]
43“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing 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 on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
44Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
45Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
46When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
46Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
