As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead.
As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead.
and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.
“Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”
If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.’”
The two disciples left and found the colt standing in the street, tied outside the front door.
But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”
As they were untying it, some bystanders demanded, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go.
They said what Jesus had told them to say, and they were permitted to take it.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it, and he sat on it.
And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields.
Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
The next morning as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
He noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off, so he went over to see if he could find any figs. But there were only leaves because it was too early in the season for fruit.
In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”
And His disciples heard it.
And His disciples heard it.
Then Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat your fruit again!” And the disciples heard him say it.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”
And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.
When the leading priests and teachers of religious law heard what Jesus had done, they began planning how to kill him. But they were afraid of him because the people were so amazed at his teaching.
When evening had come, He went out of the city.
The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree
Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
The next morning as they passed by the fig tree he had cursed, the disciples noticed it had withered from the roots up.
And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”
Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree you cursed has withered and died!”
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.
Forgiveness and Prayer
“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
