1 When they had almost reached Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two of his disciples.
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

1 When(A) they approached Jerusalem,(B) at Bethphage and Bethany(C) near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples
1 When they came near Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead
2 "Go to the village facing you," he said; "and, as soon as you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has ever ridden; untie it, and bring it.
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.
2 and *said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.
2 and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
2 and told them, "Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you go into it, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it, and bring it along.
3 And, if any one says to you 'Why are you doing that?', say 'The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.'"
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.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he (a)will send it back here.”
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”
3 If anyone asks you, "Why are you doing this?,' say, "The Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
4 The two disciples went, and, finding a foal tethered outside a door in the street, they untied it.
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.
4 They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they *untied it.
4 So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it,
4 So they went and found the colt outside in the street tied up next to a doorway. While they were untying it,
5 Some of the by-standers said to them: "What are you doing, untying the foal?"
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
5 Some of the bystanders were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
5 and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the donkey?”
5 some men standing there asked them, "What are you doing untying that colt?"
6 And the two disciples answered as Jesus had told them; and they allowed them to go.
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
6 They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.
6 They answered them just as Jesus had said, so they let them go.
6 The disciples told them what Jesus had said, and the men let them go.
7 Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself upon it.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
7 Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their robes on it, and He sat on it.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their coats on it, and he sat on it.
8 Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs which they had cut from the fields;
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
8 And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.
8 Many people spread their robes on the road,(D) and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.(a)

9 And those who led the way, as well as those who followed, kept shouting: "'God save him! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
9 Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting:“Hosanna!(E)Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;

A Barren Fig Tree Cursed
13 And, noticing a fig-tree at a distance in leaf, he went to it to see if by any chance he could find something on it; but, on coming up to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
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.
14 He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening.
14 So he told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" Now his disciples were listening to this.
The Cleansing Of The Temple

17 Then he began to teach. "Does not Scripture say," he asked, "'My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.'"
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.

The Barren Fig Tree Withered
20 As they passed by early in the morning, they noticed that the fig-tree was withered up from the very roots.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

23 "I tell you that if any one should say to this hill 'Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!', without ever a doubt in his mind, but in the faith that what he says will be done, he would find that it would be.
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.
23 (S)Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.
23 I assure you:(AF) If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt(AG) in his heart, but believes(AH) that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.(AI)
23 I tell all of you with certainty, if anyone says to this mountain, "Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' if he doesn't doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24 And therefore I say to you 'Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.'
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
24 Therefore I say to you, (T)all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
24 Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray(AJ) and ask for(AK)—believe that you have received(e)(AL) them, and you will have them.
24 That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.
25 And, whenever you stand up to pray, forgive any grievance that you have against any one, that your Father who is in Heaven also may forgive you your offenses."
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.

Jesus' Authority Challenged

28 "What authority have you to do these things?" they said. "Who gave you the authority to do them?"
28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
28 and began saying to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?”
28 and asked Him, “By what authority(AX) are You doing these things? Who gave You this authority to do these things?”
28 and asked him, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority to do them?"
29 "I will put one question to you," said Jesus. "Answer me that, and then I will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
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.
29 And Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question;(AY) then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
29 Jesus told them, "I'll ask you one question. Answer me, and then I'll tell you by what authority I'm doing these things.
31 They began arguing together; "If we say 'divine,' he will say 'Why then did not you believe him?'
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
31 They began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
31 They began to argue among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe(BA) him?’
31 They began discussing this among themselves. "If we say, "From heaven,' he'll say, "Then why didn't you believe him?'
32 Yet can we say 'human'?"--They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a Prophet.
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
32 But (g)shall we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.
32 But if we say, ‘From men’”—they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.(BB)
32 But if we say, "From humans'"?" They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone really thought John was a prophet.
33 So their answer to Jesus was--"We do not know." "Then I," replied Jesus, "refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things."
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.
33 Answering Jesus, they *said, “We do not know.” And Jesus *said to them, “Nor (h)will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
33 So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then Jesus told them, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things."
