Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem

And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him. and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.
And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose. They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass? Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go. They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back. They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields. Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.
And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest. Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

The barren fig-tree cursed, The temple cleansed

And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food. The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit. Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words. Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.
And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money; They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
And he would not let any man take a vessel through the Temple. He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves. He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ But you have made it a den of robbers!”
And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching. The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

Prayer in faith

And every evening he went out of the town. When evening came, he went out of the city.
And when they were going by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dead from the roots. As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead. Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith. Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire. For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.
For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it. Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
[] But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

The priests and elders questioned about John the Baptist

And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority: They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you authority to do these things? and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things. Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer. The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him? They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet. If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
And they said in answer to Jesus, We have no idea. And Jesus said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things. They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
