* When they were nigh Jerusalem , being come to Bethphage , near the Mount of Olives , Jesus sent two of his disciples , * saying , lont @Matthew:21:3 " /> * Now all this was done , that the words of the Prophet might be fulfilled , * «Say to the daughters of Zion , behold your King comes to you lowly , riding on an ass , even the colt of a laboring beast .» * Accordingly the disciples went , and having done as Jesus had commanded them , * brought the ass and the colt , and covering them with their mantles , made him ride . * Now the greater part spread their mantles in the way ; others lopped branches off the trees , and strowed them in the way , * while the crowd that went before and that followed , shouted , saying , Hosanna to the Son of David ! Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord ! Hosanna in the highest heaven ! * When he entered Jerusalem , the whole city was in an uproar , everybody asking , Who is this ? * The crowd answered , It is Jesus , the prophet of Nazareth , in Galilee . * Then Jesus went into the temple of God , and drove thence all who sold and who brought in the temple , and overturned the tables of the money-changers , and the stalls of those who sold doves , * «and said to them , » * Then the blind and the lame came to him in the temple , and he healed them . * But the chief priests and the scribes , seeing the wonders which he performed , and the boys crying in the temple , Hosanna to the Son of David , * «said to him with indignation , Do you hear what these say ? Jesus answered , » * And leaving them , he went out of the city of Bethany , where he remained that night . * Returning to the city in the morning , he was hungry , * and seeing a single fig tree by the road , he went to it ; but finding only leaves on it , said , And the fig tree withered forthwith . * When the disciples saw it , they said with astonishment , how soon is the fig tree withered ? * Jesus answered , lont @Matthew:21:22 " /> * Being come into the temple , the chief priests and the elders of the people came near , as he was teaching , and said , by what authority do you these things ? * Jesus answering , said to them , lont @Matthew:21:25 " /> * And if we say , From men , we dread the multitude , amongst whom John is universally accounted a prophet . * They , therefore , answered him , We can not tell . Jesus replied , lont @Matthew:21:28 " /> lont @Matthew:21:29 " /> lont @Matthew:21:30 " /> * They said , The first . Jesus replied , lont @Matthew:21:32 " /> lont @Matthew:21:33 " /> lont @Matthew:21:34 " /> lont @Matthew:21:35 " /> lont @Matthew:21:36 " /> lont @Matthew:21:37 " /> lont @Matthew:21:38 " /> lont @Matthew:21:39 " /> lont @Matthew:21:40 " /> * They answered , He will put those wretched to a wretched death , and will let the vineyard to others , who will render him the fruits in the season . * «Jesus replied , » lont @Matthew:21:43 " /> lont @Matthew:21:44 " /> * The chief priests and the Pharisees hearing his parables , perceived that he spoke of them ; * but though they wished to lay hold on him , they were afraid of the populace , who reckoned him a prophet .
