1When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples

2and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.

3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”

4They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

5Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”

7They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

8Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

11Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

12The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

13Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

14Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

15They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

16He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

17He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers!”

18The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

19When evening came, he went out of the city.

20As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

21Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

27They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,

28and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
