1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mountain of the olive trees, he sends two of the disciples of himself, and says to them:
2 Go you into the town that opposite you; and immediately entering into her, you will find a colt having been tied, upon which no one of men has sat; having loosed him lead you.
3 And if any one to you should say: Why do you this? say you: That the master of him need has; and immediately him he will send here.
4 They went and, and found a colt having been tied near the door without in the street; and they loosen him.
5 And some of those there standing said to them: What do you loosing the colt?
6 They and said to them even as commanded the Jesus; and they suffered them.
7 And they led the colt to the Jesus, and they threw upon him the mantles of themselves; and he sat upon him.
8 Many and the mantles of themselves spread in the way; others and branches cut off from the trees, and scattered in the way.
9 And those going before and those following did cry, saying: Hosanna; worthy of blessing be coming in name of Lord;
10 worthy of blessing the coming kingdom of the father of us David; Hosanna in the highest.
11 And entered into Jerusalem the Jesus, and into the temple; and having looked round on all, evening now being the hour, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 And the next day coming out of them from Bethany, he was hungry;
13 and seeing a fig tree at a distance, having leavens, he went, if perhaps he will find any thing on her; and coming to her, nothing he found except leaves; not for it was season of figs.
14 And answering he said to her: No more of thee to the age no one fruit may eat. And heard the disciples of him.
15 And they come to Jerusalem; and going into temple he began to cast out those selling and buying in the temple; and the tables the moneychangers, and the seats of those selling the doves he overturned;
16 and not suffered, that any one should carry an article through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying to them: Not is it written: That the house of me, a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations? you but have made it a den of robbers.
18 And heard the scribes and the highpriests, and they sought how him they might destroy; they feared for him, because all the crowd was amazed at the teaching of him.
19 And when evening it became, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning passing along, they saw the figtree having been withered from roots;
21 And remembering the Peter, says to him: Rabbi, lo, the figtree, which thou didst curse, has been withered.
22 And answering the Jesus says to them: Have you faith of God.
23 Indeed for I say to you, that whoever may say to the mountain this: Be lifted up, and cast into the sea; and not should doubt in the heart of himself, but should believe that what he says comes to pass; it shall be to him whatever he may say.
24 Through this I say to you, all things whatever praying you desire, believe you that you receive, and it shall be to you.
25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if any thing you have against any one; that also the Father of you, that in the heavens, may forgive you the faults of you.
26 If but you not forgive, neither the Father of you, that in the heavens, will forgive the faults of you.
27 And they come again to Jerusalem. And in the temple walking of him, come to him the highpriests and the scribes and the elders,
28 and they say to him: By what authority these things doest thou? and who to thee the authority this gave, that these things thou mayest do?
29 The but Jesus answering said to them: I will ask you also I one word; and answer you to me, and I will tell to you, by what authority these things I do.
30 The dipping of John from heaven was or from men? answer you to me.
31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we should say: From heaven, he will say: Why then not did you believe him?
32 But if we should say: From men; they feared the people; all for held the John, that really a prophet was.
33 And answering they say to the Jesus. Not we know. And the Jesus answering says to them: Neither I say to you, by what authority these things I do.
1 They came close to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives. He appointed two of his disciples to
2 go into the village that is nearby. »As soon as you enter it you will find a colt tied there. No man has ever sat on that colt. Untie him and bring him.
3 »If any one questions why you do this say: The Lord has need of him. Immediately he will send it here.«
4 They found a colt tied at the door in the open street and they untied it.
5 Those who stood there asked why are you untying the colt?
6 They told them what Jesus said and they let them go.
7 The colt was brought to Jesus. They laid their garments on him and Jesus sat on him.
8 Many spread their garments along the way. Others spread branches, which they cut from the fields.
9 Those who led the way and those who followed cried: »Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in Jehovahs name!
10 »Blessed is the coming kingdom, the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!«
11 He entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. When evening came he went with the twelve to Bethany.
12 The next day they left Bethany. He was hungry.
13 He saw a fig tree far off. When he got closer he found nothing but leaves for it was not the season of figs.
14 He spoke about the tree that no man would ever eat fruit from it from that day forward.
15 When in Jerusalem he entered the temple and turned over the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the people who sold doves.
16 He would not allow any man to carry merchandise through the temple.
17 When he taught, he said: »Is it not written, my house shall 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. They feared him because the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 And every evening he left the city.
20 They passed by in the morning and saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Peter remembered and said: »Teacher look, the fig tree that you cursed is withered away.«
22 Jesus answered: »Have faith in God.
23 »Truly I say faithful ones shall say to this mountain, be cast into the sea and it will happen. There must be no doubt in his heart and he must believe that what he says will come to pass.
24 »I tell you, believe that you receive what you pray for and you shall have it.
25 »When you say a prayer have forgiveness in your heart. Forgive anything you have against anyone so that your Heavenly Father will forgive you your sins.«

27 Chief priests and scribes approached him at the Temple in Jerusalem.
28 They said to him: »By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you authority to do these things?«
29 Jesus said: »I will ask you one question. Give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.«
30 »The baptism of John was it from heaven or from men?« Give me an answer.
31 They thought about it among themselves saying: »If we say from heaven he will say why did you not have faith in him?«
32 They feared the people. »If we say from men the people would not like it because they all thought John was a true prophet.«
33 They told Jesus« »We have no idea.« Jesus said to them: »I should not say to you by what authority I do these things.«
