21:1-11

disciples with ass-garments stewn

 

Ch 21:1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage to the mount of the olives, then Jesus sent two disciples 2 telling them; Go ye into the village opposite you, and at once ye will find an ass having been tied and a colt with her/it; loosening bring to me. 3 And if anyone to you says anything ye shall say The Lord of them need has; and immediately he will send them. 4 Now this has happened that might be fulfilled the thing spoken through the prophet saying 5 Tell y the daughter of Zion; Behold the king of thee comes to thee meek and having mounted on an ass and on a colt son of an ass. 6 and going the

disciples and doing as directed them Jesus 7 they brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat on them. 8 and the very large crowd strewed of themselves the garments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees and strewed in the way. 9 And the crowds the ones going before him and the ones following cried out saying: Hosanna to the son of David; blessed the one coming in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest 10 and entering him into Jerusalem was shaken all the city saying; Who is this? 11 and the crowds said; This is the prophet Jesus the one from Nazareth of Galilee.

Money lenders

 

21:12 and entered Jesus into the temple and cast out all the ones selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changes he overturned and the seats of the ones selling the doves 13 and says to them: It has been written: The house of me a house of prayer shall be called, ye but it are making a den of robbers. 14 and approached to him blind and lame (ones) in the temple, and he healed them. 15 Seeing but the chief priests

and the scribes the marvels which he did and the children crying out in the temple and saying; Hosanna to the some of David, they were incensed 16 and said to him: Hearest what these are saying? And Jesus says to them: Yes; never did ye read, Out of the mouth of infants and sucking ones thou didst prepare praise? 17 and leaving them he went forth outside the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

...Curse of fig tree

 

21:18 Now early going up to the city he hungered 19 And seeing fig-tree one on the way he went up to it, and nothing found in it except leaves only, and says to it: Never of thee fruit may be to the age. And was dried up instantly the fig-tree. 20 And seeing the disciples marvelled saying: How instantly was withered the fig-tree?

21 and answering Jesus said to them: Truly I say to you, If ye have faith ad do not doubt not only the of the fig-tree ye will do, but also if mountain to this ye say: Be thou taken and cast into the sea, it shall be: 22 And all things whatever ye may ask in prayer believing ye shall receive.
