< Matthew 21 >

1 When they drew near to Urishlim, and came to Beth-Pageh, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua sent two disciples,
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲏⲇⲫⲁⲅⲏ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you are to say, 'Because the Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."

4 This took place that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

5 Say to the daughter of Tsehyun, "Look, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."

12 Yeshua entered into the temple, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

13 He said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."

14 The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Ushanna to the son of Dawid." they were indignant,

16 and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Yeshua said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise?'"

17 He left them, and went out of the city to Beth-Naiya, and lodged there.

18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever." Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)

20 When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"

21 Yeshua answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"

25 The baptism of Yukhanan, where was it from? From heaven or from people?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
