King James Version
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
came nigh
to Jerusalem,
unto
Bethphage and Bethany ,
at the mount of Olives, he
sendeth
forth
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 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
.
If anyone
asks
, ‘
Why are
you
doing
this? ’
tell
him,
‘
The Lord needs
it
and will return
it
shortly
. ’”
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
.
So
they went and found the colt outside
in
the
street,
tied at
a doorway.
They untied
it,
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.
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 commanded:
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 brought
the colt to Jesus ,
and cast
their garments
on
him;
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
in
the way:
and
others cut down
branches
off
the trees,
and
strawed
them
in
the
way
.
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,
saying,
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 be
the kingdom of our father David ,
that
cometh
in
the
name
of
the
Lord:
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
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.
The next
day
, when they had
left
Bethany, Jesus
was hungry .
And
on
the morrow
, when they were
come
from
Bethany, he
was hungry :
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
any thing
thereon:
and
when he came
to
it, he found nothing but
leaves ;
for the
time
of
figs was
not
yet
.
Then
He
said to
the
tree
, “May
no one
ever
eat of
your
fruit again
. ”
And His disciples heard this
statement
.
And
Jesus
answered
and
said unto
it
, No man
eat fruit of
thee
hereafter
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
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 ;
And He
would not allow
anyone
to
carry merchandise
through the temple courts
.
And would not suffer
that
any
man
should
carry any
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
, 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
.
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 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
.
And when evening
came
, Jesus
and
His
disciples
went out of the city.
And when even
was
come
, he
went out of the city.
As
they
were
walking
back
in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered
from its
roots.
And
in the morning, as
they passed
by,
they
saw the fig tree dried
up
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
, Master
, 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
.
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
.
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, What
things
soever
ye
desire
, when
ye
pray,
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 when ye
stand praying
, forgive, if
ye
have
ought
against
any:
that your Father also
which
is
in heaven may
forgive you
your trespasses.
Not present in BSB
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which 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
say
unto
him,
By what authority doest
thou
these things? and 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
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.
John’s
baptism —
was it from heaven or from
men? Answer Me !”
The
baptism of
John,
was it from heaven ,
or of
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 if we shall
say, Of
men ;
they feared
the people :
for all men
counted
John ,
that
he
was a prophet indeed
.
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 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.
