Matthew 21:14-17
New English Translation
14 The blind and lame came to him in the temple courts, and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the experts in the law[a] saw the wonderful things he did and heard the children crying out in the temple courts,[b] “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became indignant 16 and said to him, “Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have prepared praise for yourself’?”[c] 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
