And when
they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth
two of his disciples,
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 And certain of them that stood there said unto
them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
06 And they said unto them even as Jesus had
commanded: and they let them go.
07 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast
their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
08 And many spread their garments in the way: and
others cut down branches off the trees, and
strawed them in the way.
09 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.
