So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,
5
when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing, untying the foal?"
6
But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.
7
So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer garments over him; and Jesus mounted.
8
Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;
9
while those who led the way and those who followed kept shouting "God save Him!" Blessed be He who comes in the Lord's name.
10
Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"
11
So He came into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and after looking round upon everything there, the hour being now late He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12
The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry.
13
But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it. When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves (for it was not fig time);
14
and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!" And His disciples heard this.
