And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,
and says to them, Go into the village that is over against you; and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which none of men hath ever sat: loose and bring it.
And if anyone say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord hath need of it; and immediately he sends it here.
And they went away and found a colt tied to the door without at the crossway; and they loose it.
And some of those standing there said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
And they said to them even as Jesus said: and they suffered them.
And they bring the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
And many strewed their garments on the way, and others beds of twigs, having cut them from the fields.
And those that went before and those that followed cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of [the] Lord.
Blessed [be] the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest.
And he entered into Jerusalem into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
And on the morrow, when they came out from Bethany, he was hungry;
and seeing a fig tree from afar having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it; and having come up to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the time of figs.
And, answering, he said to it, Let none eat fruit of thee any more forever. And his disciples heard.
And they come to Jerusalem, and entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers,
and suffered not that anyone should carry any package through the temple.
And he taught saying to 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.
And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.
And when it was evening he went forth without the city.
And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig tree which thou cursedst is dried up.
And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.
Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he speaks comes to pass, he shall have it.
For this reason I say unto you, All things, whatsoever ye shall pray and beg, believe that ye have received, and ye shall have them.
And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against anyone, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.
And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,
and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?
And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:
The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men? answer me.
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?
but should we say, Of men—They feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.
And they answering say to Jesus, We know not. And Jesus [answering] says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
