The Triumphal Entry
When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to * Bethsphage ¦ Bethphage BYZ CT TRBethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ¦ has ever CThas sat.

But some of the people who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They answered them just as Jesus had * instructed ¦ said CTinstructed, and the people let them go. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it, and he sat on it. Many people spread their garments on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and also spread them on the road 77.7% ¦ spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields CT 0.4%cut down leafy branches from the trees and also spread them on the road. Those who went ahead of him and those who followed were crying out,
 
“Hosanna!

11 Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. When he had looked around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve, since the hour was already late.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
12 On the next day, as they went out from Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to the fig tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from yoʋ again.” And his disciples heard it.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
15 Then they § came ¦ came again ANTcame to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves, 16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple courts. 17 Then he began to teach * the people ¦ — WHthe people, saying, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 When the scribes and the chief priests ¦ scribes, the Pharisees, and the chief priests ANT ¦ chief priests and the scribes CTscribes and the chief priests heard this, they began looking for a way to destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because the entire crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came, he ¦ they ECM* NA SBL WHhe went out of the city.
The Withered Fig Tree
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw that the fig tree had withered from its roots. 21 Then Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, behold, the fig tree that yoʋ cursed has withered!” 22 In response Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God. 23  § For truly ¦ Truly NA SBL TH WHFor truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, * whatever he says 93.2% ¦ it CT 0.3%whatever he says will be granted to him. 24  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you are receiving 97.7% ¦ have received CT 0.7%are receiving it, and it will be yours. 25  And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses. 26  But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses. ¦ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The Authority of Jesus Questioned
27 Again they came to Jerusalem, and as Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came up to him 28 and said to him, “By what authority are yoʋ doing these things? § And ¦ Or ANT CTAnd who gave yoʋ this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus * answered ¦ said to CTanswered them, “I will also ¦ — CTalso ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things: 30  Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven or from men?
