1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓϯⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏϫ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲁⲗⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁϯⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲓⲧϥ.
2and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲁϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣ⳿ⲭⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲙⲛⲁⲓ.
3If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏϫ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϧⲓⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
4So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϯⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏϫ.
5and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
6⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲩ.
6The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.

7Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.

8Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.

9The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

10“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

11Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

12The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϫⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ϩⲓⲱϯ ϣⲁ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏ.
14Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲱⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲗⲩⲃⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲕⲁⲑⲉⲇⲣ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϯ ϭⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲥⲟⲩ.
15When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ.
16And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲏⲓ ⲉⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲙⲃⲏⲃ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲛⲓ.
17Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲕⲱϯ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲁϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲁⲧⲉϥϩⲏⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
18When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

19And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.

20As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

21Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”

22“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.

27After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.

28“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”

30John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”

31They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

32But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.

33So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
