As
they approached
Jerusalem and
came
to
Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus
sent
out
two of His disciples
And
when
they draw
nigh
unto
Jerusalem ,
unto
Bethphage and Bethany ,
at the mount of Olives, he
sendeth
two of his disciples ,
and said
to
them, “
Go into the village ahead
of
you ,
and as
soon
as you
enter it, you
will
find a colt tied there
, on
which
no one
has
ever sat .
Untie
it
and bring it
here
.
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
.
If anyone
asks
, ‘
Why are
you
doing
this? ’
tell
him
, ‘
The Lord needs
it
and will return
it
shortly
. ’”
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
.
So
they went and found the
colt outside
in the street ,
tied
at
a
doorway.
They untied
it,
And
they went away,
and found a
colt tied
at
the
door
without
in the open
street ;
and
they loose
him.
and some
who
were
standing
there asked
, “Why
are
you
untying
the colt? ”
And certain
of
them
that
stood
there said
unto
them
, What
do
ye,
loosing
the colt?
The
disciples
answered
as Jesus had instructed
them,
and the
people
gave
them permission
.
And
they
said
unto
them
even
as Jesus had said:
and they
let
them go
.
Then
they led
the colt to
Jesus and threw
their cloaks
over
it,
and He sat on
it
.
And
they bring
the colt unto
Jesus ,
and cast
on
him
their garments;
and he sat upon
him
.
Many in
the
crowd
spread their cloaks
on
the road,
while
others spread
branches they had cut from the fields.
And
many spread their garments
upon
the way;
and
others branches ,
which
they had cut from the fields.
The
ones
who
went ahead
and those
who
followed were
shouting:
“
Hosanna !”
“
Blessed is He who
comes
in the name of the Lord !”
And
they
that
went before,
and they
that
followed ,
cried,
Hosanna ;
Blessed `
is '
he that
cometh
in the name of the Lord :
“
Blessed is the coming
kingdom of our father David !”
“
Hosanna in the highest !”
Blessed `
is '
the kingdom that
cometh,
`the
kingdom'
of our father David :
Hosanna in the highest .
Then
Jesus
entered Jerusalem and
went
into the temple courts.
He looked around
at
everything
, but
since
it was
already
late
, He went out to
Bethany with the Twelve.
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.
The next
day
, when they had
left
Bethany, Jesus
was
hungry
.
And
on
the morrow
, when they were
come
out
from
Bethany, he
hungered
.
Seeing in
the
distance
a fig tree in
leaf
, He went
to
see
if there
was
any
fruit
on
it.
But
when He reached
it, He found nothing on
it
except
leaves ,
since
it was not the season for
figs.
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.
Then
He said to
the
tree
, “May
no one
ever
eat of
your
fruit again
. ”
And His disciples heard this
statement
.
And
he answered
and
said unto
it
, No man
eat fruit from
thee
henceforward
for
ever
. And his disciples heard it
.
When
they arrived
in
Jerusalem ,
Jesus
entered the temple courts
and began to drive
out those
who
were
buying
and selling
there.
He
overturned
the tables of the money changers and the seats of those
selling
doves .
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 ;
And He would not allow
anyone
to
carry merchandise
through the temple courts
.
and he would not suffer
that
any
man
should
carry a
vessel
through the temple.
Then
Jesus
began
to
teach
them,
and He declared
, “
Is it not written :
‘
My house will
be called a house of prayer for all the nations ’
? But you
have made it ‘
a den of robbers. ’”
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.
When
the chief priests and scribes heard this
, they looked
for
a
way
to
kill
Him .
For they were
afraid
of
Him, because
the whole
crowd
was astonished at His teaching.
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.
And when
evening came,
Jesus
and
His
disciples
went out of the city.
And every
evening he
went forth
out of the city.
As they were
walking
back
in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its
roots.
And
as they passed
by
in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away
from the
roots.
Peter
remembered
it
and said,
“Look
, Rabbi !
The fig tree You
cursed
has
withered. ”
And Peter
calling
to
remembrance
saith
unto
him
, Rabbi ,
behold,
the fig tree which
thou
cursedst
is
withered away
.
“
Have faith in God ,”
Jesus
said
to
them
.
And
Jesus
answering
saith
unto
them,
Have faith in God.
“Truly
I tell
you that
if
anyone
says
to
this mountain, ‘
Be lifted
up and thrown
into the sea ,’
and has
no
doubt in his heart but believes
that it
will
happen,
it will
be
done
for
him
.
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.
Therefore I tell
you, whatever
you
ask for in
prayer
, believe that you
have
received
it
, and it
will
be
yours
.
Therefore I say
unto
you, All
things
whatsoever
ye
pray
and
ask for, believe that ye
receive
them
, and ye
shall
have
them
.
And when
you
stand to
pray,
if
you
hold
anything
against
another
, forgive it
, so
that your Father in heaven will
forgive your trespasses as
well
. ”
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.
Not present in BSB
`But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.'
After
their
return
to Jerusalem ,
Jesus
was walking in the temple courts
, and
the chief priests, scribes, and elders came
up
to
Him.
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 ;
“
By what authority are
You
doing
these things? ”
they
asked.
“And
who gave You
the
authority to do them
? ”
and
they
said
unto
him,
By what authority doest
thou
these things? or
who gave thee
this
authority to do these
things
?
“
I will ask you one question, ”
Jesus
replied,
“
and if
you
answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am
doing
these things.
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.
John’s
baptism —
was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me !”
The
baptism of
John,
was it from heaven ,
or from men? answer me .
They deliberated
among
themselves what
they
should
answer:
“
If we say, ‘
From heaven ,’
He will ask
, ‘
Why then did you
not believe him? ’
And
they reasoned
with
themselves ,
saying,
If we shall
say, From heaven ;
He will say
, Why then did ye
not believe him?
But if
we say, ‘
From men ’...”
they were
afraid
of
the people ,
for they
all held that
John truly
was
a prophet.
But should
we say, From men --
they feared
the people :
for all verily
held John to
be
a prophet.
So
they answered, “
We do
not
know. ”
And Jesus replied
, “
Neither will
I
tell you by what authority I am
doing
these things. ”
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.
