Matthew 21:1-22

Young's Literal Translation

21 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

² saying to them, `Go on to the village over-against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her -- having loosed, bring ye to me;

³ and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.'

⁴ And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁵ `Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.'

⁶ And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,

⁷ brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set [him] upon them;

⁸ and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,

⁹ and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'

¹⁰ And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, `Who is this?'

¹¹ And the multitudes said, `This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.'

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,

¹³ and he saith to them, `It hath been written, My house a house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of robbers.'

¹⁴ And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,

¹⁵ and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;

¹⁶ and they said to him, `Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, `Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'

¹⁷ And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there,

¹⁸ and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered,

¹⁹ and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, `No more from thee may fruit be -- to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered.

²⁰ And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, `How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?'

²¹ And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;

²² and all -- as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'
