1 - And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

2 - and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 - And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.

4 - And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.

5 - And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

6 - And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.

7 - And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.

8 - And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

9 - And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

10 - Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

11 - And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 - And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.

13 - And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.

14 - And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 - And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

16 - and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

17 - And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.

18 - And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

19 - And every evening he went forth out of the city.

20 - And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

21 - And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 - And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 - Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

24 - Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 - And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

27 - And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

28 - and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29 - And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30 - The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

31 - And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32 - But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

33 - And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
