Chapter 11
1And when they came
nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2And
saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as
soon
as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never
man sat; loose
him, and bring him.
3And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of
him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place
where two ways met; and they loose him.
5And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the
colt?
6And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat
upon him.
8And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the
trees, and strawed them in the way.
9And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna;
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the
Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11And
Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had
looked
round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he
went out unto
Bethany with the twelve.
12And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13And
seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might
find any
thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but
leaves; for the time of
figs was not yet.
14And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.
And his disciples heard it.
15And
they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to
cast
out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the
tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17And
he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be
called of all
nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18And the
scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy
him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the
roots.
21And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree
which thou cursedst is withered away.
22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23For
verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be
thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall
believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.
24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25And
when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your
Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your
trespasses.
27And
they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple,
there
come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee
this authority to do these things?
29And
Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question,
and
answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will
say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John,
that he was a prophet indeed.
33And
they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering
saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these
things.
