[1]ANDwhen they drew nigh to Urishlem, against Bethphage and Beth-ania, at the mount of Olives, he sent two from his disciples,
[2]Andsaid to them, Go to that village which is over against you; and forthwith as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, which no man hath ridden; loose, bring him.
[3]Andif any man shall say to you, Why do you this? say to him, Because for our Lord it is requested, and at once he will send him hither.
[4]Andthey went, and found the colt tied at the gate without in the street. And as they were loosing,
[5]Someof those who were standing said to them, What are you doing that you loosen the colt?
[6]Butthey said to them as Jeshu had instructed them; and they permitted them.
[7]Andthey brought the colt to Jeshu, and threw upon him their garments; and Jeshu rode upon him.
[8]Butmany spread their vestments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in the way;
[9]Andthese who went before him, and these who came after him, cried, saying, Save now!
[10]Andblessed be the coming kingdomⓘ of our father David: Save now, in the heights!ⓘ
[11]AndJeshu entered Urishlem, into the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when it was the time of the evening, he went forth to Beth-ania with the twelve.
[12]Andthe day after, when he went from Beth-ania, he hungered.
[13]Andhe saw a certain fig-tree from afar which had leaves on it, and he came to it, if he might find upon it somewhat; but when he came, he found on it only the leaves, for the time was not for figs [to have been ingathered].
[14]Andhe said to it, Henceforth and for ever man from thee fruit shall not eat. And his disciples heard. And they came to Urishlem.
[15]AndJeshu went into the temple of Aloha, and began to cast forth those who sold and bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them who sold doves:
[16]Andhe would not suffer any man to carry goods through the temple.
[17]Andhe taught, and said to them, Is it not written, That my house the house of prayer shall be called of all nations? but you have made it a den of thieves.
[18]Andthe chief priests and Sophree heard it, and inquired how they might destroy him; for they feared from him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
[19]ANDwhen it was evening, they went without from the city.
[20]Andin the morning, while they passed by, they saw that fig-tree that it was dry from its root.
[21]AndShemun remembered and said to him, Rabi, behold, that fig-tree which thou didst curse hath dried.
[22]AndJeshu answered and said to them, Let there be in you the faith of Aloha.
[23]AmenI say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and fall into the sea, and shall not be divided in his heart, but shall believe that that thing which he speaketh is, he shall have the thing that he saith.
[24]Onthis account I tell you, that every thing whatever you supplicate and ask, believe that you receive, and it shall be unto you.
[25]Andwhen you stand to pray, forgive whatever you have against any man; and your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.
[26]Butif you do not forgive, your Father who is in heaven will also not forgive you your transgressions.
[27]Andthey came again to Urishlem: and as he walked in the temple, the chief priests and the Sophree and the elders came to him,
[28]Andsaid to him, By what authority these things doest thou? and who gave thee the authority to do them?
[29]ButJeshu said to them, I also will ask you one word, that you may tell me, and I tell you by what authority I these things do.
[30]Thebaptism of Juchanon, from whence was it? from heaven, or from the sons of man? Tell me.
[31]Andthey reasoned among themselves, and said, If we say to him, that [it was] from heaven, he saith to us, And why did you not believe him?
[32]Andif we should say, From the sons of man, there is fear from the people; for all have held Juchanon that he was truly a prophet.
[33]Andthey answered, saying to Jeshu, We know not. He saith to them, I also do not tell you by what authority I these things do.
