* And when they came near to Jerusalem unto Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of Olives , he sends forth two of his disciples * and said unto them , Go to the place which is before you ; and as soon as ye are entered into it , ye shall find a colt tied , upon which no man ever sat ; loose him and bring [him ]. * And if anyone says unto you , Why do ye this ? say ye that the Lord has need of him , and straightway he will send him here . * And they went and found the colt tied by the door outside between two ways , and they loosed him . * And some of those that stood there said unto them , What do ye , loosing the colt ? * Then they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded , and they let them go . * They brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him , and he sat upon him . * And many spread their garments in the way , and others cut down leaves off the trees and spread [them ] in the way . * And those that went before and those that followed cried out , saying , Hosanna ; Blessed [is ] he that comes in the name of the Lord ; * blessed [be ] the kingdom of our father David , that comes in the name of the Lord ; Hosanna in the highest . * And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple ; and when he had looked around upon all things , and it being now late , he went out unto Bethany with the twelve . * And the next day when they left Bethany , he was hungry , * and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves , he came , if haply he might find any thing upon her ; but when he came to her , he found nothing but leaves , for the time of figs was not [yet ]. * Then Jesus , answering , said to the fig tree , Never again shall anyone eat fruit of thee [hereafter ] for ever . And his disciples heard [it ]. * And they come to Jerusalem , and Jesus , entering into the temple , began to cast out those that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those that sold doves * and would not suffer that any man should carry [any ] vessel through the temple . * And he taught them , saying , Is it not written that my house shall be called House of prayer by all the nations ? but ye have made it a den of thieves . * And the scribes and the princes of the priests heard [it ] and sought how they might kill him , for they feared him because all the multitude was astonished at his doctrine . * But when evening was come , Jesus went out of the city . * And passing by in the morning , they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots . * Then Peter , remembering , said unto him , Master , behold , the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away . * And Jesus , answering , said unto them , Have faith in God . * For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain , Remove thyself and cast thyself into the sea , and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says shall be done whatsoever he says shall be done unto him . * Therefore I say unto you that everything that ye ask for , praying , believe that ye receive it , and it shall come upon you . * And when ye are praying , forgive if ye have anything against anyone , so that your Father who [is ] in the heavens will also forgive you your trespasses . * For if ye do not forgive , neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses . * And they returned to Jerusalem , and as he was walking in the temple , there come to him the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders * and say unto him , By what faculty doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things ? * Then Jesus , answering , said unto them , I will also ask of you one word , and respond unto me , and I will tell you with what faculty I do these things . * The baptism of John , was [it ] of heaven or of men ? Respond unto me . * Then they thought inside themselves , saying , If we shall say , From heaven , he will say , Why then did ye not believe him ? * But if we shall say , Of men , we fear the people , for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet . * And answering , they said unto Jesus , We do not know . And Jesus , answering , said unto them , Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things .:
