1 And when they came near to Jerusalem unto Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples
1
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2 and said unto them, Go to the place which is before you; and as soon as ye are entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which no man ever sat; loose him and bring <em>him</em>.
2
saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
3 And if anyone says unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord has need of him, and straightway he will send him here.
3
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’ ”
4 And they went and found the colt tied by the door outside between two ways, and they loosed him.
4
They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,
5 And some of those that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
6 Then they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.
6
They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him.
7
When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.
8 And many spread their garments in the way, and others cut down leaves off the trees and spread <em>them</em> in the way.
8
Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.
9 And those that went before and those that followed cried out, saying, Hosanna; Blessed <em>is</em> he that comes in the name of the Lord;
9
Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10 blessed <em>be</em> the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
11 And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and when he had looked around upon all things, and it being now late, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
11
Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 And the next day when they left Bethany, he was hungry,
12
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing upon her; but when he came to her, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not <em>yet</em>.
13
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
14 Then Jesus, answering, said to the fig tree, Never again shall anyone eat fruit of thee <em>hereafter</em> for ever. And his disciples heard <em>it</em>.
14
Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus, entering into the temple, began to cast out those that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those that sold doves
15
On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves,
16 and would not suffer that any man should carry <em>any</em> vessel through the temple.
16
and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17 And he taught them, saying, Is it not written that my house shall be called house of prayer by all the nations? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
17
And as he taught 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.’”
18 And the scribes and the princes of the priests heard <em>it</em> and sought how they might kill him, for they feared him because all the multitude was astonished at his doctrine.
18
The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.
19 But when evening was come, Jesus went out of the city.
19
When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.
20 And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
20
In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
21 Then Peter, remembering, said unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.
21
Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Have faith in God.
22
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.
23 For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Remove thyself and cast thyself into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says shall be done whatsoever he says shall be done unto him.
23
“TrulyI tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
24 Therefore I say unto you that everything that ye ask for, praying, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come upon you.
24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 And when ye are praying, forgive if ye have anything against anyone, so that your Father who <em>is</em> in the heavens will also forgive you your trespasses.
25
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
26 For if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.
27 And they returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders came
27
They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him.
28 and said unto him, By what faculty doest thou these things? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things?
28
“By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
29 Then Jesus, answering, said unto them, I will also ask of you one word, and respond unto me, and I will tell you with what faculty I do these things.
29
Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30 The baptism of John, was <em>it</em> of heaven or of men? Respond unto me.
30
John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
31 Then they thought inside themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
31
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’
32 But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people, for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet.
32
But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)
33 And answering, they said unto Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things.
33
So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
