11 ¶ And when they came near to Jerusalem unto Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples
2 and said unto them, Go to the place which is before you; and as soon as ye are entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which no man ever sat; loose him and bring him.
3 And if anyone says unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord has need of him, and straightway he will send him here.
4 And they went and found the colt tied by the door outside between two ways, and they loosed him.
5 And some of those that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 Then they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way, and others cut down leaves off the trees and spread them in the way.
9 And those that went before and those that followed cried out, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
11 And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and when he had looked around upon all things, and it being now late, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 ¶ And the next day when they left Bethany, he was hungry,
13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing upon her; but when he came to her, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet.
14 Then Jesus, answering, said to the fig tree, Never again shall anyone eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus, entering into the temple, began to cast out those that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those that sold doves
16 and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught them, saying, Is it not written that my house shall be called house of prayer by all the nations? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and the princes of the priests heard it and sought how they might kill him, for they feared him because all the multitude was astonished at his doctrine.
19 But when evening was come, Jesus went out of the city.
20 And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 Then Peter, remembering, said unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.
22 And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Remove thyself and cast thyself into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says shall be done whatsoever he says shall be done unto him.
24 Therefore I say unto you that everything that ye ask for, praying, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come upon you.
25 And when ye are praying, forgive if ye have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in the heavens will also forgive you your trespasses.
26 For if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.
27 ¶ And they returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders came
28 and said unto him, By what faculty doest thou these things? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things?
29 Then Jesus, answering, said unto them, I will also ask of you one word, and respond unto me, and I will tell you with what faculty I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men? Respond unto me.
31 Then they thought inside themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people, for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet.
33 And answering, they said unto Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things.
12 ¶ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those that sat at the table with him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who should betray him,
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarius and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag and would take from what was put therein.
7 Therefore Jesus said, Let her alone; against the day of my burying she has kept this;
8 for the poor ye always have with you, but ye shall not always have me.
9 A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came not only for Jesus’ sake, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 So the princes of the priests took counsel that they might also put Lazarus to death
11 because by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.
12 ¶ On the next day the multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat upon it, as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold, thy King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things unto him.
17 The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
18 For this cause the multitude also met him, for they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast;
21 the same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour comes in which the Son of man shall be clarified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; the one that serves me, will my Father honour.
27 ¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this have I come in this hour.
28 Father, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again.
29 The people, therefore, that were present and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spoke to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes.
36 While ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may be the sons of light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and hid himself from them.
37 ¶ But although he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who shall believe our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory and spoke of him.
42 ¶ Nevertheless, even among the princes many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 ¶ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes in me, believes not in me, but in him that sent me,
45 and he that sees me sees him that sent me.
46 I am come as a light into the world that whosoever believes in me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if anyone hears my words and believes not, I judge him not, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life; whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
