MATTHEW 81.


And when they drew nigh unto Je-
rusalem, and came unto Bethphage,
unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus
sent two disciples, saying unto them,
Go into the village that is over
against you, and straightway We shall
find an ass tied, and a colt with her;
loose them, and bring them unto me.
8 And if any one say aught unto you,
We shall say. The Lord hath need of
them; and straightway he will send
them. Now this is come to pass,
that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken through the prophet, saying, 5
Tell We the daughter of Zion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and riding upon an ass,
And upon a colt the foal of an ass
And the disciples went and did even
as Jesus appointed them, and
brought the ass, and the colt, and
put on them their garments; and he
sat thereon. And the most part Of
the multitude spread their garments
in the way; and others cut branches
from the trees, and spread them
in the way. 9 And the multitudes that
went before him, 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. 10 And when he was come
into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred,
saying, Who is this? IL And the multi
tudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus,
from Nazareth of Galilee.
- And Jesus entered into the temple
of God, and cast out all them that
sold and bought in the temple, and
overthrow the tables of the money
changers, and the seats of them that
sold the doves; 10 and he saith unto
them, It is written, My house shall be
called a house of prayer; but We make
it a den of robbers. ii And the blind
and the lame came to him in the tenn
pie; and he healed them. Is But when
the chief priests and the scribes saw
the wonderful things that he did, and
the children that were crying in the
temple and saying, Hosanna to the
SON of David: they were moved with
Indignation, IS and said unto him,
Nearest thou what these are saying?
And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did
We never read Out of the mouth of
babes and Stockings thou hast perfect
ed praise? II And he left them, ana
went forth out of the city to Bethany,
and lodged there.
IS Now in the morning as he return
ed to the city, he hungered. Is And
seeing a fig tree by the way side, he
came to it, and found nothing thereon,
but leaves only; and he saith unto it,
Let there be no fruit from thee hence
forward for ever. And Immediately the
fig tree withered away. 20 And when
the disciples saw it. they marvelled,
saying, How didt he fig tree imme-
diately wither away? u And Jesus
answered and said unto them, Verify
I say unto you. If We have faith, and
doubt not, ye shall not only do what
is done to the fig tree, but even if We
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
taken up and cast into the sea, it shall
be done. y And all things, whatso-
ever ye shall ask in prayer, believing
We shall receive.
% And when he was come into the
temple, the chief priests and the elders
of the people came unto him as he was
teaching, and said, BY what authority
doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority? "A And Jesus an
swered, and said unto them, I also
will ask you one question, which if
ye tell me, I likewise viii tell you by
what authority I do these things. %
