Matthew 21:6-16

6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,
7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats.
8 Most of the crowd 1spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.
9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the 2Son of David; 3BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna 4in the highest!"
10 When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"
11 And the crowds were saying, "This is 5the prophet Jesus, from 6Nazareth in Galilee."

Cleansing the Temple

12 7And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the 8money changers and the seats of those who were selling 9doves.
13 And He said to them, "It is written, '10MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER '; but you are making it a 11ROBBERS' DEN."
14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and 12He healed them.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, "Hosanna to the 13Son of David," they became indignant
16 and said to Him, "Do You hear what these children are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, '14OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIES YOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF'?"
