1 Now as they came to Jerusalem, they were close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, and 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 opposite us. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
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 says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you should say, 'The Lord has need of it and will immediately send it back here.'”
3 Y si alguien os dijere: ¿Por qué hacéis eso? decid que el Señor lo ha menester: y luego lo enviará acá.
4 They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
4 Y fueron, y hallaron el pollino atado á la puerta fuera, entre dos caminos; y le desataron.
5 Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
5 Y unos de los que estaban allí, les dijeron: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino?
6 They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
6 Ellos entonces les dijeron como Jesús había mandado: y los dejaron.
7 The two disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it so Jesus could ride it.
7 Y trajeron el pollino á Jesús, y echaron sobre él sus vestidos, y se sentó sobre él.
8 Many people spread their garments on the road, and others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
8 Y muchos tendían sus vestidos por el camino, y otros cortaban hojas de los árboles, y [las] tendían por el camino.
9 Those who went before him and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one 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 coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene: ¡Hosanna en las alturas!
11 Then Jesus entered into Jerusalem and went into the temple and looked around at everything. Now, the time being 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 returned from Bethany, he was hungry.
12 Y el día siguiente, como salieron de Bethania, tuvo hambre.
13 Seeing from far away a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for 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 He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
14 Entonces Jesús respondiendo, dijo á la higuera: Nunca más coma nadie fruto de ti para siempre. Y lo oyeron sus discípulos.
15 They came to Jerusalem, and he entered the temple and began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
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 He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
16 Y no consentía que alguien llevase vaso por el templo.
17 He taught them and said, “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 The chief priests and the scribes heard what he had said, and they looked for a way to kill him. For they feared him because the entire crowd was amazed 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 When evening came, they left the city.
19 Mas como fué tarde, Jesús salió de la ciudad.
20 As they walked by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
20 Y pasando por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces.
21 Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
21 Entonces Pedro acordándose, le dice: Maestro, he aquí la higuera que maldijiste, se ha secado.
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios.
23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and cast yourself into the sea,' and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said will happen, that is what God will do.
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 say to you: Everything you pray and ask for, believe that you 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 When you stand and pray, you must forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.”
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 Not in this translation
26 Porque si vosotros no perdonareis, tampoco vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdonará vuestras ofensas.
27 They came to Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came 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 They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, 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 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Tell me and I will tell you by what 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:
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres? Respondedme.
31 They discussed between themselves and argued and said, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, '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 everyone was convinced that John was a prophet.
32 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, tememos al pueblo: porque todos juzgaban de Juan, que verdaderamente era profeta.
33 Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do 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.
