AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, (2)saying to them, Go into the village, which is opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a foal with her; loose and bring them to me. (3)And if any man say aught to you, ye shall tell them, That the Lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them. (4)Now this was entirely done, that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, (5)"Tell the daughter of Sion, Lo! thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting on an ass, even on a foal the ass's colt." (6)Then the disciples going, and doing as Jesus had commanded them, (7)brought the ass and her foal, and they spread over them their garments, and seated him upon them. (8)And a vast multitude spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them on the road: (9)and the multitudes who went before, and who followed after, cried, saying, Hosanna, to the son of David; blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. (10)And when he was entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this? (11)Then the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee. (12)And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves (13)and said unto them, It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer," but ye have made it a den of robbers. (14)Then the blind and the lame came unto him, into the temple, and he cured them. (15)But when the chief priests and scribes saw the marvellous acts which he did, and the children crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were filled with indignation; (16)and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? Jesus replied to them, Yes; but have ye never read, "That out of the mouths of infants and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" (17)And turning his back upon them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. (18)Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry: (19)and seeing a fig-tree at the road side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only: and saith unto it, Let no fruit spring from thee henceforth for ever: and immediately the fig-tree withered entirely away. (20)And when his disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered away! (21)But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done. (22)And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
