1 O ra, quando se aproximavam de Jerusalém, de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto do Monte das Oliveiras, enviou Jesus dois dos seus discípulos

Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;

2 e disse-lhes: Ide ã aldeia que está defronte de vós; e logo que nela entrardes, encontrareis preso um jumentinho, em que ainda ninguém montou; desprendei-o e trazei-o.

and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.

3 E se alguém vos perguntar: Por que fazeis isso? respondei: O Senhor precisa dele, e logo tornará a enviá-lo para aqui.

And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

4 F oram, pois, e acharam o jumentinho preso ao portão do lado de fora na rua, e o desprenderam.

So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it.

5 E alguns dos que ali estavam lhes perguntaram: Que fazeis, desprendendo o jumentinho?

But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

6 R esponderam como Jesus lhes tinha mandado; e lho deixaram levar.

And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go.

7 E ntão trouxeram a Jesus o jumentinho e lançaram sobre ele os seus mantos; e Jesus montou nele.

Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.

8 M uitos também estenderam pelo caminho os seus mantos, e outros, ramagens que tinham cortado nos campos.

And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9 E tanto os que o precediam como os que o seguiam, clamavam: Hosana! bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor!

Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the L ord!’

10 B endito o reino que vem, o reino de nosso pai Davi! Hosana nas alturas!

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

11 T endo Jesus entrado em Jerusalém, foi ao templo; e tendo observado tudo em redor, como já fosse tarde, saiu para Betânia com os doze.

And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve. The Fig Tree Withered

12 N o dia seguinte, depois de saírem de Betânia teve fome,

Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry.

13 e avistando de longe uma figueira que tinha folhas, foi ver se, porventura, acharia nela alguma coisa; e chegando a ela, nada achou senão folhas, porque não era tempo de figos.

And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

14 E Jesus, falando, disse ã figueira: Nunca mais coma alguém fruto de ti. E seus discípulos ouviram isso.

In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it. Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15 C hegaram, pois, a Jerusalém. E entrando ele no templo, começou a expulsar os que ali vendiam e compravam; e derribou as mesas dos cambistas, e as cadeiras dos que vendiam pombas;

So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

16 e não consentia que ninguém atravessasse o templo levando qualquer utensílio;

And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple.

17 e ensinava, dizendo-lhes: Não está escrito: A minha casa será chamada casa de oração para todas as nações? Vós, porém, a tendes feito covil de salteadores.

Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”

18 O ra, os principais sacerdotes e os escribas ouviram isto, e procuravam um modo de o matar; pois o temiam, porque toda a multidão se maravilhava da sua doutrina.

And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.

19 A o cair da tarde, saíam da cidade.

When evening had come, He went out of the city. The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree

20 Q uando passavam na manhã seguinte, viram que a figueira tinha secado desde as raízes.

Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 E ntão Pedro, lembrando-se, disse-lhe: Olha, Mestre, secou-se a figueira que amaldiçoaste.

And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22 R espondeu-lhes Jesus: Tende fé em Deus.

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 E m verdade vos digo que qualquer que disser a este monte: Ergue-te e lança-te no mar; e não duvidar em seu coração, mas crer que se fará aquilo que diz, assim lhe será feito.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24 P or isso vos digo que tudo o que pedirdes em oração, crede que o recebereis, e tê-lo-eis.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Forgiveness and Prayer

25 Q uando estiverdes orando, perdoai, se tendes alguma coisa contra alguém, para que também vosso Pai que está no céu, vos perdoe as vossas ofensas.

“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

26

But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Jesus’ Authority Questioned

27 V ieram de novo a Jerusalém. E andando Jesus pelo templo, aproximaram-se dele os principais sacerdotes, os escribas e os anciãos,

Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.

28 q ue lhe perguntaram: Com que autoridade fazes tu estas coisas? ou quem te deu autoridade para fazê-las?

And they said to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?”

29 R espondeu-lhes Jesus: Eu vos perguntarei uma coisa; respondei-me, pois, e eu vos direi com que autoridade faço estas coisas.

But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

30 O batismo de João era do céu, ou dos homens? respondei-me.

The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”

31 A o que eles arrazoavam entre si: Se dissermos: Do céu, ele dirá: Então por que não o crestes?

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

32 M as diremos, porventura: Dos homens? - É que temiam o povo; porque todos verdadeiramente tinham a João como profeta.

But if we say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all counted John to have been a prophet indeed.

33 R esponderam, pois, a Jesus: Não sabemos. Replicou-lhes ele: Nem eu vos digo com que autoridade faço estas coisas.

So they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus answered and said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
