1 W hen they were getting near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent ahead two of His disciples

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

2 A nd instructed them, Go into the village in front of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, which has never been ridden by anyone; unfasten it and bring it.

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.

3 I f anyone asks you, Why are you doing this? answer, The Lord needs it, and He will send it back here presently.

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

4 S o they went away and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street, and they loosed it.

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

5 A nd some who were standing there said to them, What are you doing, untying the colt?

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

6 A nd they replied as Jesus had directed them, and they allowed them to go.

Responderam como Jesus lhes tinha mandado; e lho deixaram levar.

7 A nd they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their outer garments upon it, and He sat on it.

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

8 A nd many spread their garments on the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

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

9 A nd those who went before and those who followed cried out '> with a cry of happiness], Hosanna! Praised and blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!

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

10 P raised and blessed in the name of the Lord is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna (O save us) in the highest!

Bendito o reino que vem, o reino de nosso pai Davi! Hosana nas alturas!

11 A nd Jesus went into Jerusalem and entered the temple '> enclosure]; and when He had looked around, surveying and observing everything, as it was already late, He went out to Bethany together with the Twelve.

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

12 O n the day following, when they had come away from Bethany, He was hungry.

No dia seguinte, depois de saírem de Betânia teve fome,

13 A nd seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to see if He could find any on it '> for in the fig tree the fruit appears at the same time as the leaves]. But when He came up to it, He found nothing but leaves, for the fig season had not yet come.

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.

14 A nd He said to it, No one ever again shall eat fruit from you. And His disciples were listening.

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

15 A nd they came to Jerusalem. And He went into the temple '> porches and courts] and began to drive out those who sold and bought in the temple area, and He overturned the '> four-footed] tables of the money changers and the seats of those who dealt in doves;

Chegaram, 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;

16 A nd He would not permit anyone to carry any household equipment through the temple enclosure.

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

17 A nd He taught and said to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have turned it into a den of robbers.

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.

18 A nd the chief priests and the scribes heard and kept seeking some way to destroy Him, for they feared Him, because the entire multitude was struck with astonishment at His teaching.

Ora, 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.

19 A nd when evening came on, He and His disciples, as accustomed, went out of the city.

Ao cair da tarde, saíam da cidade.

20 I n the morning, when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered away to its roots.

Quando passavam na manhã seguinte, viram que a figueira tinha secado desde as raízes.

21 A nd Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away!

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

22 A nd Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God.

Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Tende fé em Deus.

23 T ruly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

Em 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.

24 F or this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will.

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

25 A nd whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your failings and shortcomings and let them drop.

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

26 B ut if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.

27 A nd they came again to Jerusalem. And when Jesus was walking about in the '> courts and porches of the] temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him,

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

28 A nd they kept saying to Him, By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do them?

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

29 J esus told them, I will ask you a question. Answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

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

30 W as the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer Me.

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

31 A nd they reasoned and argued with one another, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did you not believe him?

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

32 B ut can we say, From men? For they were afraid of the people, because everybody considered and held John actually to be a prophet.

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

33 S o they replied to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus said to them, Neither am I going to tell you what authority I have for doing these things.

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