* And when they came near to Jerusalem , to Bethphage and Bethany , at the mount of Olives , he sends forth two of his disciples , * and says to them , Go ye into the village opposite you , and straightaway as ye enter into it , ye will find a colt tied , on which none of men have ever sat . After untying it , bring it . * And if any man should say to you , Why are ye doing this ? say ye , The Lord has need of it , and straightaway he sends it here . * And they departed , and found the colt tied by the door outside in the street , and they untied it . * And some of those who stood there said to them , What are ye doing , untying the colt ? * And they said to them just as Jesus commanded , and they allowed them . * And they brought the colt to Jesus , and threw their garments on it , and he sat upon it . * And many spread their garments upon the road , and others were cutting branches from the fields , and were spreading on the road . * And those who went in front , and those who came behind , cried out saying , Hosanna ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord ! * Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of Lord ! Hosanna in the highest ! * And Jesus entered into Jerusalem , and into the temple . And when he looked around on all things , the hour now being evening , he went out to Bethany with the twelve . * And on the morrow when they came out from Bethany he was hungry . * And having seen a fig tree afar off having leaves , he came , if perhaps he will find anything on it . And when he came to it he found nothing except leaves , for it was not the time of figs . * And having responded , Jesus said to it , No man may eat fruit from thee , no more into the age . And his disciples heard it . * And they come to Jerusalem . And having entered into the temple , Jesus began to drive out those who sold and bought in the temple . And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers , and the seats of those who sold the doves . * And he did not permit that any man might carry a container through the temple . * And he taught , saying to them , Is it not written , My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations ? But ye made it a den of robbers . * And the scholars and the chief priests heard it , and sought how they might destroy him , for they feared him , because all the people were awed at his doctrine . * And when it became evening he went forth outside of the city . * And passing by in the morning , they saw the fig tree dried out from the roots . * And having remembered , Peter says to him , Rabbi , behold , the fig tree that thou cursed has been dried out . * And having answered , Jesus says to them , Have faith in God . * For truly I say to you , that whoever may say to this mountain , Be thou taken up and cast into the sea , and will not doubt in his heart , but will believe that what he says comes to pass , whatever he may say will be for him . * Because of this I say to you , all things , as many as ye may ask , praying , believe that ye receive , and it will be for you . * And whenever ye may stand praying , forgive , if ye have anything against any man , so that also your Father in the heavens will forgive you your trespasses . * But if ye do not forgive , neither will your Father in the heavens forgive your trespasses . * And they come again to Jerusalem . And as he was walking in the temple , the chief priests , and the scholars , and the elders come to him . * And they say to him , By what authority are thou doing these things ? Or who gave thee this authority so that thou may do these things ? * And having answering , Jesus said to them , I also will question you one word , and answer me , and I will tell you by what authority I do these things . * The immersion of John , was it from heaven , or from men ? Answer me . * And they reasoned with themselves , saying , If we should say , From heaven , he will say , Why then did ye not believe him ? * But should we say , From men ? (They feared the people , for all held John that he was indeed a prophet .) * And having answered , they say to Jesus , We do not know . And having answering , Jesus says to them , Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things .
