in the way. 011:001 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage{TR & NU read "Bethphage" instead of "Bethsphage"} and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 011:002 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. 011:003 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here." 011:004 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him. 011:005 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?" 011:006 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go. 011:007 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it. 011:008 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road. 011:009 Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, "Hosanna{"Hosanna" means "save us" or "help us, we pray."}! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!{Psalm 118:25-26} 011:010 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" 011:011 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 011:012 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. 011:013 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. 011:014 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it. 011:015 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves. 011:016 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple. 011:017 He taught, saying to them, "Isn't it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?'{Isaiah 56:7} But you have made it a den of robbers!"{Jeremiah 7:11} 011:018 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. 011:019 When evening came, he went out of the city. 011:020 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. 011:021 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
