THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER 81.

Jerusalem. and were come to Beth
phage, unto the mount of Olives, then
sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the
village over against you, and straight
way We shall find an ass tied, and a
colt with her: loose them, and bring
them unto me.
And if any man say ought unto
you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need
of them; and straightway he will send
them.
All this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying,
Tell We the daughter of Sion, Be-
hold. thy King cometh unto thee,
meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a
colt the foal of an ass.
And the disciples went, and did
as Jesus commanded them,
And brought the ass, and the colt,
and put on them their clothes, and
they set him thereon.
And very great multitude spread
their garments in the way; others cut
down branches from the trees, and
strawed them in the way.
And the multitudes that went be-
fore, 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 Jeru-
salem, all the city was moved, saying,
Who is this?
IL And the multitude said, This is
Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Cali
lee.
II And Jesus went into the temple
of God, and cast out all them that sold
and bought in the temple, and over
threw the tables of the money
changers, and the seats of them that
sold doves,
13 And said unto them, 1t is written
My house shall be called the house Of
prayer; but We have made it a den Of
thieves.
II And the blind and the lame came
to him in the temple; and he healed
them.
Is And when the chief priests and
scribes saw the wonderful things that
he did, and the children crying in the
temple, and saying, Hosanna TO the
son of David; they were sore dis
pleased,
Is And said unto him. Nearest thou
what these say? And Jesus saith unto
them, Yea; have We never read, Out
Of the mouth of babes and stockings
thou hast perfected praise?
II And he left them, and went out
of the city into Bethany; and he
lodged there.
is Now in the morning as he re-
turned into the city, he hungered.
10 And when he saw fig tree in
the way, ne came to it, and found
nothing thereon, but leaves only, and
said unto il, Let no fruit grow on thee
henccfOrward for ever. And presently
the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it,
they marvelIed, saying, How soon is
the fig tree withcred away,
II Jesus answered and said unto
them, Verify | say unto you, If ye
have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not
only do this which is done to the fig
tree. but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
% And all things, whatsoever ye
shall ask in prayer, believing, We shall
receive.
% And when he was come into the
temple, the chief priests and the cid
ers 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?
~ And Jesus answered and said
unto them, | also will ask you one
thing, which if We tell me, in like
wise will tell you by what authority
do these things.
