Savior's Entry

¹Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, ²saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. ³And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, "The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them." ⁴All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: ⁵"Tell the daughter of Zion, "Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey."' ⁶So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. ⁷They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. ⁸And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' Hosanna in the highest!" ¹⁰And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" ¹¹So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee." ¹²Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. ¹³And He said to them, "It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a "den of thieves."' ¹⁴Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. ¹⁵But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant ¹⁶and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, "Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?" ¹⁷Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there.

^١ وَلَمَّا قَرُبُوا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَيْتِ فَاجِي عِنْدَ جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ، حِينَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ يَسُوعُ تِلْمِيذَيْنِ ^٢قَائِلًا لَهُمَا: «اِذْهَبَا إِلَى ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَكُمَا، فَلِلْوَقْتِ تَجِدَانِ أَتَانًا مَرْبُوطَةً وَجَحْشًا مَعَهَا، فَحُلَّاهُمَا وَأْتِيَانِي بِهِمَا. ^٣وَإِنْ قَالَ لَكُمَا أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا، فَقُولَا: ٱلرَّبُّ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَيْهِمَا. فَلِلْوَقْتِ يُرْسِلُهُمَا». ^٤فَكَانَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: ^٥«قُولُوا لِٱبْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ: هُوَذَا مَلِكُكِ يَأْتِيكِ وَدِيعًا، رَاكِبًا عَلَى أَتَانٍ وَجَحْشٍ ٱبْنِ أَتَانٍ». ^٦فَذَهَبَ ٱلتِّلْمِيذَانِ وَفَعَلَا كَمَا أَمَرَهُمَا يَسُوعُ، ^٧وَأَتَيَا بِٱلْأَتَانِ وَٱلْجَحْشِ، وَوَضَعَا عَلَيْهِمَا ثِيَابَهُمَا فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِمَا. ^٨وَٱلْجَمْعُ ٱلْأَكْثَرُ فَرَشُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَآخَرُونَ قَطَعُوا أَغْصَانًا مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَفَرَشُوهَا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. ^٩وَٱلْجُمُوعُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَقَدَّمُوا وَٱلَّذِينَ تَبِعُوا كَانُوا يَصْرَخُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «أُوصَنَّا لِٱبْنِ دَاوُدَ! مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْآتِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ! أُوصَنَّا فِي ٱلْأَعَالِي!». ^١٠وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ كُلُّهَا قَائِلَةً: «مَنْ هَذَا؟». ^١١فَقَالَتِ ٱلْجُمُوعُ: «هَذَا يَسُوعُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ نَاصِرَةِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ». ^١٢ وَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ ٱللهِ وَأَخْرَجَ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ وَيَشْتَرُونَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَقَلَبَ مَوَائِدَ ٱلصَّيَارِفَةِ وَكَرَاسِيَّ بَاعَةِ ٱلْحَمَامِ ^١٣وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَكْتُوبٌ: بَيْتِي بَيْتَ ٱلصَّلَاةِ يُدْعَى. وَأَنْتُمْ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ!». ^١٤وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ عُمْيٌ وَعُرْجٌ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ فَشَفَاهُمْ. ^١٥فَلَمَّا رَأَى رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْكَتَبَةِ ٱلْعَجَائِبَ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، وَٱلْأَوْلَادَ يَصْرَخُونَ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَيَقُولُونَ: «أُوصَنَّا لِٱبْنِ دَاوُدَ!». غَضِبُوا ^١٦وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَتَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «نَعَمْ! أَمَا قَرَأْتُمْ قَطُّ: مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ ٱلْأَطْفَالِ وَٱلرُّضَّعِ هَيَّأْتَ تَسْبِيحًا؟». ^١٧ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ وَخَرَجَ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ عَنْيَا وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ.
