| 1 | And when they came nigh to Jerusalem , unto Bethphage and Bethany , at the mount of Olives , he sendeth forth two of his disciples , |
| 2 | And saith unto them , Go your way into the village over against you : and as soon as ye be entered into it , ye shall find a colt tied , whereon never man sat ; loose him , and bring [him]. |
| 3 | And if any man say unto you , Why do ye this ? say ye that the Lord hath need of him ; and straightway he will send him hither . |
| 4 | And they went their way , and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met ; 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 commanded : and they let them go . |
| 7 | And they brought the colt to Jesus , and cast their garments on him ; and he sat upon him . |
| 8 | And many spread their garments in the way : and others cut down branches off the trees , and strawed [them] in the way . |
| 9 | And they that went before , and they that followed , cried , saying , Hosanna ; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord : |
| 10 | Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David , that cometh in the name of the Lord : Hosanna in the highest . |
| 11 | And Jesus entered into Jerusalem , and into the temple : and when he had looked round about upon all things , and now the eventide was come , he went out unto Bethany with the twelve . |
| 12 | And on the morrow , when they were come from Bethany , he was hungry : |
| 13 | And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves , he came , if haply he might find any thing thereon : and when he came to it , he found nothing but leaves ; for the time of figs was not [yet]. |
| 14 | And Jesus answered and said unto it , No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever . And his disciples heard [it]. |
| 15 | And they come to Jerusalem : and Jesus went into the temple , and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple , and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers , and the seats of them that sold doves ; |
| 16 | And would not suffer that any man should carry [any] vessel through the temple . |
| 17 | And he taught , saying unto them , Is it not written , My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer ? but ye have made it a den of thieves . |
| 18 | And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how they might destroy him : for they feared him , because all the people was astonished at his doctrine . |
| 19 | And when even was come , he went out of the city . |
| 20 | And in the morning , as they passed by , they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots . |
| 21 | And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him , Master , behold , the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away . |
| 22 | And Jesus answering saith unto them , Have faith in God . |
| 23 | For verily I say unto you , That whosoever shall say unto this mountain , Be thou removed , and be thou cast into the sea ; and shall not doubt in his heart , but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass ; he shall have whatsoever he saith . |
| 24 | Therefore I say unto you , What things soever ye desire , when ye pray , believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. |
| 25 | And when ye stand praying , forgive , if ye have ought against any : that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses . |
| 26 | But if ye do not forgive , neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive 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 say unto him , By what authority doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this authority to do these things ? |
| 29 | And Jesus answered and said unto them , I will also 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 of 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 if we shall say , Of men ; they feared the people : for all [men] counted John , that he was a prophet indeed . |
| 33 | And they answered and said unto Jesus , We cannot tell . And Jesus answering saith unto them , Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things . |
