1 As they approached Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples.

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

2 He said to them, 'Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.'

And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 'If anyone asks you,

And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

4 They went away and found the colt tied at the door outside on the street, and they untied it.

And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

5 Some of those standing there said to them, 'What are you doing, untying the colt?'

And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

6 They answered them just as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.

And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

7 They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their garments on it, and he sat on it.

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

8 Many people spread their garments on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9 Those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest heavens!

Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. After looking around at everything, since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 The next day, as they were leaving Bethany, he was hungry.

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14 Jesus said to it, 'May no one ever eat fruit from you again.' And his disciples heard it.

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 When they came to Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

16 He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.

And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

17 As he was teaching them, he said, 'Is it not written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of robbers.'

And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

18 The chief priests and the scribes heard this and began seeking a way to destroy him. They were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

19 When evening came, they went out of the city.

And when even was come, he went out of the city.

20 Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 Peter remembered and said to him, 'Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.'

And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 Jesus replied to them, 'Have faith in God.'

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 'Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.'

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 'Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.'

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 'And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.'

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 'But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.'

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

27 They came again to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, scribes, and elders came to him.

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

28 They asked him, 'By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you the authority to do this?'

And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29 Jesus said to them, 'I will ask you one question. If you answer me, then I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.'

And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30 'Was John's baptism from heaven or from men? Answer me.'

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

31 They reasoned among themselves, saying, 'If we say, From heaven, he will ask, Then why didn’t you believe him?'

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32 But if we say, 'From men,' they were afraid of the crowd, for everyone regarded John as truly a prophet.

But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

33 So they answered Jesus, 'We don't know.' And Jesus said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
