1 As they approached Jerusalem, near to Bethphage and Bethany, beside the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead.
1 Y COMO fueron cerca de Jerusalem, de Bethphagé, y de Bethania, al monte de las Olivas, envía dos de sus discípulos,
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
2 He told them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter, you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden before. Untie it and bring it here.
2 Y les dice: Id al lugar que [está] delante de vosotros, y luego entrados en él, hallaréis un pollino atado, sobre el cual ningún hombre ha subido; desatadlo y traedlo.
2 and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.
3 If anyone asks you what you are doing, tell them, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back soon.’”
3 Y si alguien os dijere: ¿Por qué hacéis eso? decid que el Señor lo ha menester: y luego lo enviará acá.
3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
4 So they set off, and found a colt tied to a door, out on the street, and they untied it.
4 Y fueron, y hallaron el pollino atado á la puerta fuera, entre dos caminos; y le desataron.
4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 Some of the people standing around asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt”?
5 Y unos de los que estaban allí, les dijeron: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino?
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
6 The disciples replied just as Jesus told them to, and the people let them go.
6 Ellos entonces les dijeron como Jesús había mandado: y los dejaron.
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus, put their cloaks on it, and Jesus sat on it.
7 Y trajeron el pollino á Jesús, y echaron sobre él sus vestidos, y se sentó sobre él.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others laid down leafy branches that they'd cut in the fields.
8 Y muchos tendían sus vestidos por el camino, y otros cortaban hojas de los árboles, y [las] tendían por el camino.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 Those leading in the front and those that were following were all shouting, “Hosanna! Bless the one coming in the name of the Lord.
9 Y los que iban delante, y los que iban detrás, daban voces diciendo: ¡Hosanna! Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor.
9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Bless the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene: ¡Hosanna en las alturas!
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went in to the Temple. He looked around him, observing everything, and then, since it was getting late, he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
11 Y entró Jesús en Jerusalem, y en el templo: y habiendo mirado alrededor todas las cosas, y siendo ya tarde, salióse á Bethania con los doce.
11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 The next day, as they left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
12 Y el día siguiente, como salieron de Bethania, tuvo hambre.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 From some distance away he saw a fig tree with leaves, so he went over to it to see if it had any fruit. But when he got there, he found it had only leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
13 Y viendo de lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, se acercó, si quizá hallaría en ella algo: y como vino á ella, nada halló sino hojas; porque no era tiempo de higos.
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 He said to the tree, “May no one eat fruit from you ever again.” His disciples heard his words.
14 Entonces Jesús respondiendo, dijo á la higuera: Nunca más coma nadie fruto de ti para siempre. Y lo oyeron sus discípulos.
14 Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.
15 They arrived back in Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the Temple. He started driving out the people who were buying and selling in the Temple. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the people selling doves.
15 Vienen, pues, á Jerusalem; y entrando Jesús en el templo, comenzó á echar fuera á los que vendían y compraban en el templo; y trastornó las mesas de los cambistas, y las sillas de los que vendían palomas;
15 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 He stopped anyone carrying things through the Temple.
16 Y no consentía que alguien llevase vaso por el templo.
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 He explained to them, “Doesn't Scripture say, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
17 Y les enseñaba diciendo: ¿No está escrito que mi casa, casa de oración será llamada por todas las gentes? Mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
17 He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers!”
18 The chief priests and religious teachers heard what had happened, and tried to find a way to kill Jesus. But they were afraid of him, for everyone was so impressed by his teaching.
18 Y lo oyeron los escribas y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y procuraban cómo le matarían; porque le tenían miedo, por cuanto todo el pueblo estaba maravillado de su doctrina.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19 When evening came Jesus and his disciples left the city.
19 Mas como fué tarde, Jesús salió de la ciudad.
19 When evening came, he went out of the city.
20 The following morning as they returned, they saw the fig tree, withered from the roots up.
20 Y pasando por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Peter remembered what Jesus had done, and said to him, “Rabbi, look, the fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
21 Entonces Pedro acordándose, le dice: Maestro, he aquí la higuera que maldijiste, se ha secado.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
22 “Trust in God,” Jesus replied.
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios.
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23 “Believe me when I say to you that if you told this mountain, ‘Get out of here and be thrown into the sea,’ and you don't doubt in your heart, but are convinced about what you're asking, then it will happen!
23 Porque de cierto os digo que cualquiera que dijere á este monte: Quítate, y échate en la mar, y no dudare en su corazón, mas creyere que será hecho lo que dice, lo que dijere le será hecho.
23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
24 I'm telling you that whatever you pray for, whatever you ask, trust that you've received it, and it's yours.
24 Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que orando pidiereis, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá.
24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
25 But when you're praying, if you have something against someone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your sins.”
25 Y cuando estuviereis orando, perdonad, si tenéis algo contra alguno, para que vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdone también á vosotros vuestras ofensas.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
26 Not in this translation
26 Porque si vosotros no perdonareis, tampoco vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdonará vuestras ofensas.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
27 They returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, religious teachers, and the leaders approached him.
27 Y volvieron á Jerusalem; y andando él por el templo, vienen á él los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los ancianos;
27 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 “By what authority are you doing all this?” they demanded. “Who gave you the right?”
28 Y le dicen: ¿Con qué facultad haces estas cosas? ¿y quién te ha dado esta facultad para hacer estas cosas?
28 and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
29 “Let me ask you a question,” Jesus told them. “You answer me, and I'll tell you by whose authority I do these things.
29 Y Jesús respondiendo entonces, les dice: Os preguntaré también yo una palabra; y respondedme, y os diré con qué facultad hago estas cosas:
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 John's baptism—did that come from heaven, or from people?”
30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres? Respondedme.
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
31 They discussed it among themselves. They said, “If we say it's from heaven, he'll reply, ‘So why didn't you believe him?’
31 Entonces ellos pensaron dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 But if we say, it's of human origin, well…” They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone believed that John was a true prophet.
32 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, tememos al pueblo: porque todos juzgaban de Juan, que verdaderamente era profeta.
32 If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I'm not telling you by whose authority I do these things,” replied Jesus.
33 Y respondiendo, dicen á Jesús: No sabemos. Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tampoco yo os diré con qué facultad hago estas cosas.
33 They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But to this is added, that as we read it in the narrative of the other Evangelist who expressly mentions this, "it was not the time for that fruit." For that was the time when the fig-tree shoots forth its tender leaves, which come, we know, before the fruit; and this we prove, because the day of the Lord's Passion …

"And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only." Another evangelist saith, "The time of figs was not yet;" but if it was not time, how doth the other evangelist say, "He came, if haply He might find fruit thereon." Whence it is manifest that this belongs to …

For he who says that Christ only worked miracles, for the miracles' sake, may say too that He was ignorant that it was not the time for fruit, when He sought figs upon the fig-tree. For it was not the time for that fruit, as the Evangelist testifies; and yet being hungry He sought for fruit upon the tree.
