Now when they were drawing near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
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 young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.
saying to them: “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you enter it you will find a foal tied, on which no man has sat. Untie and bring it.
3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and thereupon he will send it here.”
4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
So they went and found the foal tied at the door, out in the street, and they loosed it.
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
Some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the foal?”
6 They said to them just as Yeshua had said, and they let them go.
So they answered them just as Jesus had instructed, and they let them go.
7 They brought the young donkey to Yeshua and threw their garments on it, and Yeshua sat on it.
Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and they placed their clothes on it, and He sat on it.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
And many spread their clothes on the road, while others were cutting leafy branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hoshia'na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Both those who went in front and those who followed started calling out, saying: “Hosanna!” “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!”

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.
And seeing from a distance a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it He found nothing but leaves, because it was not fig season.
14 Yeshua told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
So Jesus reacted by saying to it, “Let no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and Yeshua entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

And He kept teaching them by saying: “Is it not written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? but you have made it ‘a den of robbers’!”
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
Well the scribes and the chief priests heard it, and kept on looking for a way to destroy Him; because they were afraid of Him, in that all the people were astonished at His teaching.
19 When evening came, he went out of the city.

20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
And Peter, remembering, said to Him: “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has dried up!”
22 Yeshua answered them, “Have faith in God.
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Have faith in God.
23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
Because I tell you assuredly, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be picked up and be thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that the things he says will happen, he will have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
That is why I say to you, whatever things you ask for in prayer, believe that you receive, and you will have them.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
“And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,
Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes and the elders came to Him.
28 and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
And they said to Him, “By what authority are you doing these things?” and “Who gave you this authority to do these things?”
29 Yeshua said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
So in answer Jesus said to them: “I also will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30 The immersion of Yochanan—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
The baptism of John: was it from heaven or from men?”
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
They considered among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘So why did you not believe him?’
32 If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held Yochanan to really be a prophet.
But if we say, ‘From men’…”—they feared the people, for everyone held John to really be a prophet.
33 They answered Yeshua, “We don’t know.” Yeshua said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
So they answered Jesus by saying, “We don't know.” And in answer Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
