46 verses

King James Version

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them,
3 Et si quelqu'un vous dit quelque chose, vous direz que le Seigneur en a besoin, et aussitôt il les enverra.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 ¶ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them,
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them,
17 ¶ And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them,
22 Et tout ce que vous demanderez en priant, si vous croyez, vous le recevrez.
23 ¶ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
25 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them,
28 Mais que vous semble-t-il de ceci? Un homme avait deux fils, et, s'adressant au premier, il lui dit: Mon fils, va, et travaille aujourd'hui dans ma vigne.
29 Mais il répondit: Je ne veux point; cependant, s'étant repenti ensuite, il y alla.
30 Puis il vint au second, et lui dit la même chose. Celui-ci répondit: J'y vais, seigneur; mais il n'y alla pas.
31 They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them,
32 Car Jean est venu à vous dans la voie de la justice, et vous ne l'avez point cru; mais les péagers et les femmes de mauvaise vie l'ont cru; et vous, ayant vu cela, vous ne vous êtes point repentis ensuite pour le croire.
33 Écoutez une autre similitude: Il y avait un père de famille qui planta une vigne; il l'environna d'une haie, il y creusa un pressoir et il y bâtit une tour; puis il la loua à des vignerons, et s'en alla faire un voyage.
34 La saison des fruits étant proche, il envoya ses serviteurs vers les vignerons pour recevoir les fruits de sa vigne.
35 Mais les vignerons, s'étant saisis des serviteurs, battirent l'un, tuèrent l'autre, et en lapidèrent un autre.
36 Il envoya encore d'autres serviteurs, en plus grand nombre que les premiers, et ils les traitèrent de même.
37 Enfin il envoya vers eux son fils, en disant: Ils auront du respect pour mon fils!
38 Mais quand les vignerons virent le fils, ils dirent entre eux: C'est ici l'héritier; venez, tuons-le, et nous saisissons de son héritage.
39 Et l'ayant pris, ils le jetèrent hors de la vigne, et le tuèrent.
40 Quand donc le maître de la vigne sera venu, que fera-t-il à ces vignerons?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them,
43 C'est pourquoi je vous dis que le royaume de Dieu vous sera ôté, et qu'il sera donné à une nation qui en rendra les fruits.
44 Celui qui tombera sur cette pierre sera brisé; et celui sur qui elle tombera, elle l'écrasera.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
