1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to  *1 and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
he sent two of his disciples, 2 and said to them, “Go your way into
the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you
4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the
open street, and they untied him. 5 Some of those who stood there asked
them, “What are you
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it,
and Jesus sat on it. 8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others
were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.
9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom
of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the
highest!”
11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around
at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the
twelve.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he
might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves,
for it was not the season for figs. 14 Jesus told it, “May no one ever
eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.
15 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to
throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew
the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be
called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ But you
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might
destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at
his teaching.
19 When evening came, he went out of the city. 20 As they passed by in
the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. 21 Peter,
remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has
withered away.”
22 Jesus answering said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For most
assuredly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast
into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says
is happening; he shall have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I tell you, all
things whatever you
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the
chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him, 28 and they
began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave
you this authority to do these things?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I
will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John
— was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From
heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you
Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these
things.”
