1 | And when they
came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he
sendeth forth two of his disciples, |
2 | 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 | 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 | 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 | And certain
of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? |
6 | And they said unto them even as
Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. |
7 | And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their
garments on him; and he sat upon him. |
8 | And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down
branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. |
9 | And they that went before, and they that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord:
Ps 118:25,26
Matt 21:9
|
10 | Blessed be the
kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in
the highest.
Ps 118:25,26
|
11 | 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 | And
on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: |
13 | 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 | And Jesus answered and
said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples
heard it. |
15 | 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 | And would not suffer that any man
should carry any vessel through the temple. |
17 | 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.
Isa 56:7 Jer 7:11
Matt 21:13 Luke 19:46
|
18 | 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 | And when even was come,
he went out of the city. |
20 |
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from
the roots. |
21 | And Peter
calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou
cursedst is withered away. |
22
| And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. |
23 | 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 say unto you, What
things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye
shall have them. |
25 | 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 ye do not forgive, neither will
your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. |
27 | 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 |
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority to do these things? |
29 | 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 | The
baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. |
31 | 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 shall
say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a
prophet indeed. |
33 | 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. |
