11 1 Christ entereth into Jerusalem riding on an ass. 13 The fruitless fig tree is cursed. 15 Sellers and buyers are cast out of the Temple. 23 The force of faith. 24 Faith in prayer. 25 The brother’s offenses must be pardoned. 27 The Priests ask by what authority he wrought those things that he did. 30 Whence John’s baptism was.

And (A)[a]when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany unto the mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples,

And said unto them, Go your ways into that town that is over against you, and as soon as ye shall enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat: loose him, and bring him.

And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? Say that the Lord hath need of him, and straightway he will send him hither.

And they went their way, and found a colt, tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met, and they loosed him.

Then certain of them, that stood there, said unto them, What do ye loosing the colt?

And they said unto them, as Jesus had commanded them: So they let them go.

(B)And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him.

And many spread their garments in the way: others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: [b]blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord.

10 [c]Blessed be the kingdom that cometh in the Name of the Lord of our father David: Hosanna, O thou which art in the highest heavens.

11 (C)So Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the Temple: and when he had looked about on all things, and now it was evening, he went forth unto Bethany with the twelve.
