Matthew 21:1–22

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,

²Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you: and immediately you shall find an ass tied and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me.

³And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them. And forthwith he will let them go.

⁴Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

⁵Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

⁶And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.

⁷And they brought the ass and the colt and laid their garments upon them and made him sit thereon.

⁸And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.

⁹And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

¹⁰And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?

¹¹And the people said: This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.

¹²And Jesus went into the temple of God and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the chairs of them that sold doves.

¹³And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁴And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple: and he healed them.

¹⁵And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying: Hosanna to the son of David, were moved with indignation,

¹⁶And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

¹⁷And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania and remained here.

¹⁸And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.

¹⁹And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.

²⁰And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?

²¹And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.

²²And all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer believing, you shall receive.
