When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.

This happened in fulfilment of these words in the prophet –
5 to say the/this/who daughter Zion look! the/this/who king you to come/go you gentle and to mount/board upon/to/against donkey and (upon/to/against *no*) colt son donkey
“Say to the people of Zion – ‘Your King is coming to you, gentle, and riding on a donkey, and on the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 to travel then the/this/who disciple and to do/make: do as/just as (to direct *N(k)O*) it/s/he the/this/who Jesus
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 to bring the/this/who donkey and the/this/who colt and to put/lay on (upon/to/against *N(k)O*) it/s/he the/this/who clothing (it/s/he *k*) and to sit on above it/s/he
They led the donkey and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself on them.
8 the/this/who then most crowd to spread themself the/this/who clothing in/on/among the/this/who road another then to cut/mourn branch away from the/this/who tree and to spread in/on/among the/this/who road
The immense crowd of people spread their cloaks in the road, while some cut branches off the trees, and spread them on the road.

The crowds that led the way, as well as those that followed behind, kept shouting, ‘God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God save him from on high!’
10 and to enter it/s/he toward Jerusalem to shake all the/this/who city to say which? to be this/he/she/it
When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked –
11 the/this/who then crowd to say this/he/she/it to be the/this/who prophet Jesus the/this/who away from Nazareth the/this/who Galilee
‘Who is this?’, to which the crowd replied – ‘This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’
12 and to enter (the/this/who *k*) Jesus toward the/this/who temple (the/this/who God *K*) and to expel all the/this/who to sell and to buy in/on/among the/this/who temple and the/this/who table the/this/who moneychanger to overturn and the/this/who seat the/this/who to sell the/this/who dove
Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
13 and to say it/s/he to write the/this/who house: home me house: home prayer to call: call you then it/s/he (to do/make: do *N(k)O*) cave robber/rebel
and said to them, ‘Scripture says “My house will be called a house of prayer”; but you are making it a den of robbers.’
14 and to come near/agree it/s/he blind and lame in/on/among the/this/who temple and to serve/heal it/s/he
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.
15 to perceive: see then the/this/who high-priest and the/this/who scribe the/this/who marvelous which to do/make: do and the/this/who child (the/this/who *no*) to cry in/on/among the/this/who temple and to say Hosanna the/this/who son David be indignant
But, when the chief priests and the teachers of the Law saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the boys who were calling out in the Temple Courts ‘God save the Son of David!’, they were indignant,
16 and to say it/s/he to hear which? this/he/she/it to say the/this/who then Jesus to say it/s/he yes never to read that/since: that out from mouth child and to suckle to complete praise
and said to him, ‘Do you hear what these boys are saying?’ ‘Yes,’ answered Jesus, ‘but did you never read the words – “Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have called forth perfect praise”?’
17 and to leave behind it/s/he to go out out/outside(r) the/this/who city toward Bethany and to spend the night there
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 (early *N(k)O*) then (to set off *NK(o)*) toward the/this/who city to hunger
The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry;
19 and to perceive: see fig tree one upon/to/against the/this/who road to come/go upon/to/against it/s/he and none to find/meet in/on/among it/s/he if: not not leaf alone and to say it/s/he (no *o*) never again out from you fruit to be toward the/this/who an age: eternity and to dry instantly the/this/who fig tree (aiōn g165)
and, noticing a solitary fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it, ‘Never again will fruit be gathered off you.’ And suddenly the fruit tree withered up. (aiōn g165)
20 and to perceive: see the/this/who disciple to marvel to say how! instantly to dry the/this/who fig tree
When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment, ‘How suddenly the fig tree withered up!’
21 to answer then the/this/who Jesus to say it/s/he amen to say you if to have/be faith and not to judge/doubt no alone the/this/who the/this/who fig tree to do/make: do but and if the/this/who mountain this/he/she/it to say to take up and to throw: throw toward the/this/who sea to be
‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘if you have faith, without ever a doubt, you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill “Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!” it would be done.
22 and all just as/how much (if *NK(o)*) to ask in/on/among the/this/who prayer to trust (in) to take
And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.’
23 and (to come/go it/s/he *N(k)O*) toward the/this/who temple to come near/agree it/s/he to teach the/this/who high-priest and the/this/who elder: Elder the/this/who a people to say in/on/among what? authority this/he/she/it to do/make: do and which? you to give the/this/who authority this/he/she/it
After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?’
24 to answer then the/this/who Jesus to say it/s/he to ask you I/we and word one which if to say me I/we and you to say in/on/among what? authority this/he/she/it to do/make: do
‘I, too,’ said Jesus in reply, ‘will ask you one question; if you will give me an answer to it, then I, also, will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
25 the/this/who baptism (the/this/who *no*) John whence to be out from heaven or out from a human the/this/who then to discuss (in/on/among *N(k)O*) themself to say if to say out from heaven to say me through/because of which? therefore/then no to trust (in) it/s/he
It is about John’s baptism. What was its origin? Divine or human?’ But they began arguing among themselves, ‘If we say “divine,” he will say to us “Why then didn’t you believe him?”
26 if then to say out from a human to fear the/this/who crowd all for as/when prophet to have/be the/this/who John
But if we say “human,” we are afraid of the people, for everyone regards John as a prophet.’
27 and to answer the/this/who Jesus to say no to know to assert it/s/he and it/s/he nor I/we to say you in/on/among what? authority this/he/she/it to do/make: do
So the answer they gave Jesus was – ‘We do not know.’ ‘Then I,’ he said, ‘refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.
28 which? then you to think a human to have/be child two and to come near/agree the/this/who first to say child to go today to work in/on/among the/this/who vineyard (me *k*)
What do you think of this? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the elder and said “Go and work in the vineyard today my son.”
29 the/this/who then to answer to say no to will/desire later then to repent to go away
“Yes, sir,” he answered; but he did not go.
30 (and *k*) to come near/agree (then *no*) the/this/who (other *N(K)O*) to say likewise the/this/who then to answer to say I/we lord: master and no to go away
Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. “I will not,” he answered; but afterwards he was sorry and went.
31 which? out from the/this/who two to do/make: do the/this/who will/desire the/this/who father to say (it/s/he *k*) the/this/who (first *NK(O)*) to say it/s/he the/this/who Jesus amen to say you that/since: that the/this/who tax collector and the/this/who prostitute to go/bring before you toward the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God
Which of the two sons did as his father wished?’ ‘The second,’ they said. ‘I tell you,’ added Jesus, ‘that tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God before you.
32 to come/go for John to/with you in/on/among road righteousness and no to trust (in) it/s/he the/this/who then tax collector and the/this/who prostitute to trust (in) it/s/he you then to perceive: see (nor *N(k)O*) to repent later the/this/who to trust (in) it/s/he
For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.
33 another parable to hear a human (one *k*) to be householder who/which to plant vineyard and fence it/s/he to put on and to dig in/on/among it/s/he winepress and to build tower and to lease it/s/he farmer and to go abroad
‘Listen to another parable. A man, who was an employer, once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
34 when then to come near the/this/who time/right time the/this/who fruit to send the/this/who slave it/s/he to/with the/this/who farmer to take the/this/who fruit it/s/he
When the time for the grape harvest drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
35 and to take the/this/who farmer the/this/who slave it/s/he which on the other hand to beat up which then to kill which then to stone
But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 again to send another slave greater the/this/who first and to do/make: do it/s/he likewise
A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37 later then to send to/with it/s/he the/this/who son it/s/he to say to cause shame the/this/who son me
As a last resource he sent his son to them. “They will respect my son,” he said.
38 the/this/who then farmer to perceive: see the/this/who son to say in/on/among themself this/he/she/it to be the/this/who heir come to kill it/s/he and (to have/be *N(k)O*) the/this/who inheritance it/s/he
But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other “Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.”
39 and to take it/s/he to expel out/outside(r) the/this/who vineyard and to kill
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 when(-ever) therefore/then to come/go the/this/who lord: master the/this/who vineyard which? to do/make: do the/this/who farmer that
Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’
41 to say it/s/he evil/harm: evil badly to destroy it/s/he and the/this/who vineyard to lease another farmer who/which to pay it/s/he the/this/who fruit in/on/among the/this/who time/right time it/s/he
‘Miserable wretches!’ they exclaimed, ‘he will put them to a miserable death, and he will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will pay him his share of the produce at the proper times.’
42 to say it/s/he the/this/who Jesus never to read in/on/among the/this/who a writing stone which to reject the/this/who to build this/he/she/it to be toward head corner from/with/beside lord: God to be this/he/she/it and to be marvellous in/on/among eye me
Then Jesus added, ‘Have you never read in the scriptures? – “The stone which the builders despised – has now itself become the cornerstone. This cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.”
43 through/because of this/he/she/it to say you that/since: that to take up away from you the/this/who kingdom the/this/who God and to give Gentiles to do/make: do the/this/who fruit it/s/he
That, I tell you, is why the kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation that does produce the fruit of the kingdom.
44 and the/this/who to collapse upon/to/against the/this/who stone this/he/she/it to shatter upon/to/against which then if to collapse to crush it/s/he
Yes, and he who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.’
45 and to hear the/this/who high-priest and the/this/who Pharisee the/this/who parable it/s/he to know that/since: that about it/s/he to say
After listening to these parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
46 and to seek it/s/he to grasp/seize to fear the/this/who crowd (since toward *N(k)O*) prophet it/s/he to have/be
yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a prophet.
