And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 yuvAM sammukhasthagrAmaM gatvA baddhAM yAM savatsAM garddabhIM haThAt prApsyathaH, tAM mochayitvA madantikam AnayataM|
saying to them, 'Go on to the village over-against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her — having loosed, bring ye to me;
3 tatra yadi kashchit ki nchid vakShyati, tarhi vadiShyathaH, etasyAM prabhoH prayojanamAste, tena sa tatkShaNAt praheShyati|
and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.'
4 sIyonaH kanyakAM yUyaM bhAShadhvamiti bhAratIM| pashya te namrashIlaH san nR^ipa Aruhya gardabhIM| arthAdAruhya tadvatsamAyAsyati tvadantikaM|
And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 bhaviShyadvAdinoktaM vachanamidaM tadA saphalamabhUt|
'Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.'
6 anantaraM tau shShyi yIsho ryathAnideshaM taM grAmaM gatvA
And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,
7 gardabhIM tadvatsa ncha samAnItavantau, pashchAt tadupari svIyavasanAnI pAtayitvA tamArohayAmAsatuH|
brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set [him] upon them;
8 tato bahavo lokA nijavasanAni pathi prasArayitumArebhire, katipayA janAshcha pAdapaparNAdikaM ChitvA pathi vistArayAmAsuH|
and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,
9 agragAminaH pashchAdgAminashcha manujA uchchairjaya jaya dAyUdaH santAneti jagaduH parameshvarasya nAmnA ya AyAti sa dhanyaH, sarvvoparisthasvargepi jayati|
and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'
10 itthaM tasmin yirUshAlamaM praviShTe ko. ayamiti kathanAt kR^itsnaM nagaraM cha nchalamabhavat|
And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?'
11 tatra lokoH kathayAmAsuH, eSha gAlIlpradeshIya-nAsaratIya-bhaviShyadvAdI yIshuH|
And the multitudes said, 'This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.'

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,
13 aparaM tAnuvAcha, eShA lipirAste, "mama gR^ihaM prArthanAgR^ihamiti vikhyAsyati", kintu yUyaM tad dasyUnAM gahvaraM kR^itavantaH|
and he saith to them, 'It hath been written, My house a house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of robbers.'
14 tadanantaram andhakha nchalokAstasya samIpamAgatAH, sa tAn nirAmayAn kR^itavAn|
And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,
15 yadA pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAshcha tena kR^itAnyetAni chitrakarmmANi dadR^ishuH, jaya jaya dAyUdaH santAna, mandire bAlakAnAm etAdR^isham uchchadhvaniM shushruvushcha, tadA mahAkruddhA babhUvaH,
and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;
16 taM paprachChushcha, ime yad vadanti, tat kiM tvaM shR^iNoShi? tato yIshustAn avochat, satyam; stanyapAyishishUnA ncha bAlakAnA ncha vaktrataH| svakIyaM mahimAnaM tvaM saMprakAshayasi svayaM| etadvAkyaM yUyaM kiM nApaThata?
and they said to him, 'Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, 'Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'
17 tatastAn vihAya sa nagarAd baithaniyAgrAmaM gatvA tatra rajanIM yApayAmAsa|
And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there,
18 anantaraM prabhAte sati yIshuH punarapi nagaramAgachChan kShudhArtto babhUva|
and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered,
19 tato mArgapArshva uDumbaravR^ikShamekaM vilokya tatsamIpaM gatvA patrANi vinA kimapi na prApya taM pAdapaM provAcha, adyArabhya kadApi tvayi phalaM na bhavatu; tena tatkShaNAt sa uDumbaramAhIruhaH shuShkatAM gataH| (aiōn g165)
and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, 'No more from thee may fruit be — to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 tad dR^iShTvA shiShyA AshcharyyaM vij nAya kathayAmAsuH, AH, uDumvarapAdapo. atitUrNaM shuShko. abhavat|
And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, 'How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?'
21 tato yIshustAnuvAcha, yuShmAnahaM satyaM vadAmi, yadi yUyamasandigdhAH pratItha, tarhi yUyamapi kevaloDumvarapAdapaM pratItthaM karttuM shakShyatha, tanna, tvaM chalitvA sAgare pateti vAkyaM yuShmAbhirasmina shaile proktepi tadaiva tad ghaTiShyate|
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;
22 tathA vishvasya prArthya yuShmAbhi ryad yAchiShyate, tadeva prApsyate|
and all — as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'

And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, 'By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?'
24 tato yIshuH pratyavadat, ahamapi yuShmAn vAchamekAM pR^ichChAmi, yadi yUyaM taduttaraM dAtuM shakShyatha, tadA kena sAmarthyena karmmANyetAni karomi, tadahaM yuShmAn vakShyAmi|
And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will ask you — I also — one word, which if ye may tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;
25 yohano majjanaM kasyAj nayAbhavat? kimIshvarasya manuShyasya vA? tataste parasparaM vivichya kathayAmAsuH, yadIshvarasyeti vadAmastarhi yUyaM taM kuto na pratyaita? vAchametAM vakShyati|
the baptism of John, whence was it? — from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
26 manuShyasyeti vaktumapi lokebhyo bibhImaH, yataH sarvvairapi yohan bhaviShyadvAdIti j nAyate|
and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.'

And answering Jesus they said, 'We have not known.' He said to them — he also — 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 kasyachijjanasya dvau sutAvAstAM sa ekasya sutasya samIpaM gatvA jagAda, he suta, tvamadya mama drAkShAkShetre karmma kartuM vraja|
'And what think ye? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.'
29 tataH sa uktavAn, na yAsyAmi, kintu sheShe. anutapya jagAma|
And he answering said, 'I will not,' but at last, having repented, he went.
30 anantaraM sonyasutasya samIpaM gatvA tathaiva kathtivAn; tataH sa pratyuvAcha, mahechCha yAmi, kintu na gataH|
'And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not;
31 etayoH putrayo rmadhye piturabhimataM kena pAlitaM? yuShmAbhiH kiM budhyate? tataste pratyUchuH, prathamena putreNa| tadAnIM yIshustAnuvAcha, ahaM yuShmAn tathyaM vadAmi, chaNDAlA gaNikAshcha yuShmAkamagrata Ishvarasya rAjyaM pravishanti|
which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,
32 yato yuShmAkaM samIpaM yohani dharmmapathenAgate yUyaM taM na pratItha, kintu chaNDAlA gaNikAshcha taM pratyAyan, tad vilokyApi yUyaM pratyetuM nAkhidyadhvaM|
for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last — to believe him.

'Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
34 tadanantaraM phalasamaya upasthite sa phalAni prAptuM kR^iShIvalAnAM samIpaM nijadAsAn preShayAmAsa|
'And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it,
35 kintu kR^iShIvalAstasya tAn dAseyAn dhR^itvA ka nchana prahR^itavantaH, ka nchana pAShANairAhatavantaH, ka nchana cha hatavantaH|
and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
36 punarapi sa prabhuH prathamato. adhikadAseyAn preShayAmAsa, kintu te tAn pratyapi tathaiva chakruH|
'Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.

'And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son;
38 kintu te kR^iShIvalAH sutaM vIkShya parasparam iti mantrayitum Arebhire, ayamuttarAdhikArI vayamenaM nihatyAsyAdhikAraM svavashIkariShyAmaH|
and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
39 pashchAt te taM dhR^itvA drAkShAkShetrAd bahiH pAtayitvAbadhiShuH|
and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
40 yadA sa drAkShAkShetrapatirAgamiShyati, tadA tAn kR^iShIvalAn kiM kariShyati?
whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?'

They say to him, 'Evil men — he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'

Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
43 tasmAdahaM yuShmAn vadAmi, yuShmatta IshvarIyarAjyamapanIya phalotpAdayitranyajAtaye dAyiShyate|
'Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
44 yo jana etatpAShANopari patiShyati, taM sa bhaMkShyate, kintvayaM pAShANo yasyopari patiShyati, taM sa dhUlivat chUrNIkariShyati|
and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.'

And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes, knew that of them he speaketh,

and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.
