1
When they drew near to Yerushalayim, to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his talmidim,
2
and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.
3
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here."
4
They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"
6
They said to them just as Yeshua had said, and they let them go.
7
They brought the colt to Yeshua, and threw their garments on him, and Yeshua sat on him.
8
Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.
9
Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried, "Hoshia`na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hoshia`na in the highest!"
11
Yeshua entered into the temple in Yerushalayim. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Beit-Anyah with the twelve.
12
The next day, when they had come out from Beit-Anyah, he was hungry.
13
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14
Yeshua told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his talmidim heard it.
15
They came to Yerushalayim, and Yeshua entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
