111 And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 and saith to them, 'Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring 'it': 3 and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.' 4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it, 5 and certain of those standing there said to them, 'What do ye—loosing the colt?' 6 and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them. 7 And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it, 8 and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way. 9 And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, 'Hosanna! blessed 'is' he who is coming in the name of the Lord; 10 blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.' 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered, 13 and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs, 14 and Jesus answering said to it, 'No more from thee—to the age—may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing.
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew, 16 and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple, 17 and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written—My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?' 18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching; 19 and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.
20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots, 21 and Peter having remembered saith to him, 'Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.' 22 And Jesus answering saith to them, 'Have faith of God; 23 for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say. 24 Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you. 25 'And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses; 26 and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'
27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, 28 and they say to him, 'By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?' 29 And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will question you—I also—one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things; 30 the baptism of John—from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.' 31 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him? 32 But if we may say, From men,'—they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet; 33 and answering they say to Jesus, 'We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'
31 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered, 2 and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him. 3 And he saith to the man having the hand withered, 'Rise up in the midst.' 4 And he saith to them, 'Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent. 5 And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other; 6 and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.
7 And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon—a great multitude—having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him. 9 And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him, 10 for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him—as many as had plagues; 11 and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying—'Thou art the Son of God;' 12 and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.
13 And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him; 14 and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and that he may send them forth to preach, 15 and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons. 16 And he put on Simon the name Peter; 17 and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names—Boanerges, that is, 'Sons of thunder;' 18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.
20 And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread; 21 and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,
22 and the scribes who 'are' from Jerusalem having come down, said—'He hath Beelzeboul,' and—'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.' 23 And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, 'How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary? 24 and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand; 25 and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot be made to stand; 26 and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end. 27 'No one is able the vessels of the strong man—having entered into his house—to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil. 28 'Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil, 29 but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness—to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;' 30 because they said, 'He hath an unclean spirit.'
31 Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him, 32 and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.' 33 And he answered them, saying, 'Who is my mother, or my brethren?' 34 And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren! 35 for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'
