Chapter 11
|
1
|
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage
and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth
two of his disciples, |
2
|
And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over
against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye
shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose
him, and bring him. |
3
|
And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye
that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will
send him hither. |
4
|
And they went their way, and found the colt tied by
the door without in a place where two ways met; and they
loose him. |
5
|
And certain of them that stood there said unto them,
What do ye, loosing the colt? |
6
|
And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded:
and they let them go. |
7
|
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their
garments on him; and he sat upon him. |
8
|
And many spread their garments in the way: and others
cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in
the way. |
9
|
And they that went before, and they that followed,
cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord: |
10
|
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh
in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. |
11
|
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple:
and when he had looked round about upon all things, and
now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with
the twelve. |
12
|
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany,
he was hungry: |
13
|
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came,
if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he
came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time
of figs was not yet. |
14
|
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit
of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. |
15
|
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the
temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought
in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers,
and the seats of them that sold doves; |
16
|
And would not suffer that any man should carry any
vessel through the temple. |
17
|
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written,
My house shall be called of all nations the house of
prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. |
18
|
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought
how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because
all the people was astonished at his doctrine. |
19
|
And when even was come, he went out of the city. |
20
|
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the
fig tree dried up from the roots. |
21
|
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master,
behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered
away. |
22
|
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in
God. |
23
|
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast
into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall
believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. |
24
|
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall
have them. |
25
|
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought
against any: that your Father also which is in heaven
may forgive you your trespasses. |
26
|
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father
which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. |
27
|
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking
in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and
the scribes, and the elders, |
28
|
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these
things? and who gave thee this authority to do these
things? |
29
|
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also
ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell
you by what authority I do these things. |
30
|
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
answer me. |
31
|
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe
him? |
32
|
But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people:
for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. |
33
|
And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell.
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell
you by what authority I do these things. |
