Jesus’ Triumphant Entry
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.
The Triumphal Entry
And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,
And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,
“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 says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no [child] of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it [here].
If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.’”
And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.
The two disciples left and found the colt standing in the street, tied outside the front door.
And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.
As they were untying it, some bystanders demanded, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
They said what Jesus had told them to say, and they were permitted to take it.
And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them [do it].
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it, and he sat on it.
And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;
Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields.
and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees [and went on strewing them on the way].
And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that comes in [the] Lord's name.
Blessed [be] the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!
So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around carefully at everything, he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
The next morning as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered.
And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered.
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.
And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had 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.
Then Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat your fruit again!” And the disciples heard him say it.
And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard [it].
Jesus Clears the Temple
When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people buying and selling animals for sacrifices. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,

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 any one 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.
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.
And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and they 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.
The next morning as they passed by the fig tree he had cursed, the disciples noticed it had withered from the roots up.
The Withered Fig Tree
And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.
And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.
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!”
And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.
And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.
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.
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 says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.
For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.
And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.
Again they entered Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking through the Temple area, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him.
Jesus' Authority Challenged
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 come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,
They demanded, “By what authority are you doing all these things? Who gave you the right to do them?”
and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?
“I’ll tell you by what authority I do these things if you answer one question,” Jesus replied.
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:
“Did John’s authority to baptize come from heaven, or was it merely human? Answer me!”
The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.
They talked it over among themselves. “If we say it was from heaven, he will ask why we didn’t believe John.
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?
But do we dare say it was merely human?” For they were afraid of what the people would do, because everyone believed that John was a prophet.
but should we say, Of men -- they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.
