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.
