1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
1 Y COMO fueron cerca de Jerusalem, de Bethphagé, y de Bethania, al monte de las Olivas, envía dos de sus discípulos,
2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has sat. 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.
3 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it,’ and he will send it here immediately.”
3 Y si alguien os dijere: ¿Por qué hacéis eso? decid que el Señor lo ha menester: y luego lo enviará acá.
4 So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
4 Y fueron, y hallaron el pollino atado á la puerta fuera, entre dos caminos; y le desataron.
5 and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
5 Y unos de los que estaban allí, les dijeron: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino?
6 The disciples answered as Jesus had commanded them, and the people gave them permission.
6 Ellos entonces les dijeron como Jesús había mandado: y los dejaron.
7 Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
7 Y trajeron el pollino á Jesús, y echaron sobre él sus vestidos, y se sentó sobre él.
8 Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
8 Y muchos tendían sus vestidos por el camino, y otros cortaban hojas de los árboles, y [las] tendían por el camino.
9 The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes 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.
10 “Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene: ¡Hosanna en las alturas!
11 Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
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.
12 The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
12 Y el día siguiente, como salieron de Bethania, tuvo hambre.
13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since 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.
14 Then Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.
14 Entonces Jesús respondiendo, dijo á la higuera: Nunca más coma nadie fruto de ti para siempre. Y lo oyeron sus discípulos.
15 When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those 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;
16 And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
16 Y no consentía que alguien llevase vaso por el templo.
17 Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
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.
18 When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at 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.
19 And when evening came, Jesus went out of the city.
19 Mas como fué tarde, Jesús salió de la ciudad.
20 As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
20 Y pasando por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces.
21 Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
21 Entonces Pedro acordándose, le dice: Maestro, he aquí la higuera que maldijiste, se ha secado.
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios.
23 “For truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, whatever he says will be done for him.
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.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
24 Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que orando pidiereis, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá.
25 And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.
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.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
26 Porque si vosotros no perdonareis, tampoco vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdonará vuestras ofensas.
27 After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to 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;
28 “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
28 Y le dicen: ¿Con qué facultad haces estas cosas? ¿y quién te ha dado esta facultad para hacer estas cosas?
29 “I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing 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:
30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres? Respondedme.
31 They deliberated among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
31 Entonces ellos pensaron dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?
32 But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
32 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, tememos al pueblo: porque todos juzgaban de Juan, que verdaderamente era profeta.
33 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
33 Y respondiendo, dicen á Jesús: No sabemos. Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tampoco yo os diré con qué facultad hago estas cosas.

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.
