"Theywere-on" the "Way"; going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were "amazed"; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him. Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles. They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third "day", he will rise again.

He said to the disciples, The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not "see-it". They will tell you Look here, or Look there! Do not go away or follow after them, for as the lightning when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his "day". But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. "As it wuzz" in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, even "as it wuzz" in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all. It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back: remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it. I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left. Two will be in the field: the one taken and the other left.

They answering asked him, "WhairhLord".  

They answering asked him, "Whair" Lord. They asked him, Where are they taken.

He said to them, Where the corpse is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.  

He said to them, Where the "corpse is", there the "vultures" will also be gathered together.  

"Noah" was left. "Lot" was left. Indeed, the scriptures consistently show us that the wicked are taken away and destroyed in death, dead corpses "awl", and all the birds of the air were filled with their flesh, and the "righteous" are left alive.  

"No-ah" was left. "Lot" was left. Indeed, the scriptures consistently show us that the wicked are taken away and destroyed in death, dead corpses "awl", and all the birds of the air were filled with their flesh, and the "righteous" are left alive.  

He also spoke a parable to them, that they must always pray and not give up, saying, There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect man. A widow was in that city, and she often came to him saying, "De-fendme" from "myadversary". He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, Though I neither fear God, nor respect man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual "coming".

They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go. Then they brought it to Jesus. They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them, and Jesus sat on it. The crowd of disciples was with him.

As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road. Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna"! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! "Hosanna" in the highest!  

As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road. Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, "Ho Sanna"! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! "Hosanna" in the highest! "Hosanna" is a cry of adoration for a deliverer, "O-Save-Now".

As he was now getting near at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen, saying "Blessed" is the King who comes in the name of the Lord, Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!

He answered them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.  

He answered them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.  

When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, If "yew" even "yew", had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side, and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another because you did not know the time of your visitation.

Then Jesus 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. It was Friday, the sixth day of the week, and the Sabbath was about to begin.  

Then Jesus 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. It was Friday, the sixth day of the week, and the Sabbath was about to begin.  

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him. Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. Then Judas "Isscariot" Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor.

Now he said this not because he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. But Jesus said, Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.  

Now he said this not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box used to steal what was put into it. But Jesus said, Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have "Meeh".  

A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there and they came, not for Jesus’s sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also, because "on account of him" many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

On the next day, the day after the Sabbath, which is Sunday, the first day of the week, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree afar off up the road 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. Jesus told it, May no one ever eat fruit from you again! Let there be no fruit from you forever!

And his disciples heard it.  

And his disciples "heardit".  

Immediately the fig tree began to wither away. (But they did not perceive it before the morning of the second day.)

A great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

When they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus, with foreknowledge having found a young donkey, sent two disciples, saying to them, Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, The Lord needs them, and immediately he will send them.  

When they came near to Jerusalem, and came to "Beth-phage", to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus, with "foreknowledge" having found a young donkey, sent two disciples, saying to them, Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a "colt with-her". Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say The Lord needs them, and immediately he will send them.  

All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.  

All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet "saying", Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King "comes to you", humble and riding on a donkey, and on a colt the foal of a donkey.  

The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them, and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them. Jesus, having thus found a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written, Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.

Jesus having thus found a young donkey sat on it, as it is written, Do not be "afraid" daughter of Zion. Behold, your "King comes", sitting on a donkey’s colt.  

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it. For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.

A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road. The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest

Jesus entered into the Temple of God. He 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, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the Temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves, saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers!

He said to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of "prayerh": but you have made it a den of "robbers"!  

He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the Temple. He Taught, saying to them, 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!   

He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the Temple. He Taught, "saying" to them Is it not written, My house will be called a house of "prayerh" for all the nations? But "yew" have made it a den of "robbers"!   

The 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.  

The 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.  

The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the Temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! they were indignant, and said to him, Do you hear what these are saying?  

The blind and the "laim" came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the Temple and saying "Hosanna" to the Son of David, they were indignant, and said to him, Do you "hear what these are saying"?  

Jesus said to them, Yes. Did you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?  

Jesus said to them, Yes. Did you never "reed", Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?  

When evening came, he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there. It was now Sunday evening, and the beginning of Monday the second day of the week.  

When evening came he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there. It was now Sunday evening, and the beginning of "Monday" the second day of the week.  

He was Teaching daily in the Temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.  

He was "Teaching" daily in the Temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.  

Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry. This was the morning of Monday, the second day. As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. Peter, remembering, said to him, Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.

Matthew himself testified to this that Jesus had done to the fig tree, on the day that he passed by and saw it, in a brief summary of remembering that moment, as it is written: Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, Let there be no fruit from you forever! Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.  

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.  

Have faith in God. For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says. Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him, and they began saying to him, By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?  

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him, and they began saying to him, By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?  

Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.  

Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you, by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John. was it from "heaven", or "from men"? Answer me.  

They reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? If we should say, From men: they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.  

They reasoned with themselves saying, If we should say From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? If we should say From men: they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.  

They answered Jesus, We do not know.  

They answered Jesus, We do not know.  

Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?  

Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?  

They reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will ask us, Why then did you not believe him? But if we say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.  

They reasoned with themselves saying, If we say From heaven, he will ask us, Why then did you not believe him? But if we say From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.  

They answered Jesus, and said, We do not know.  

They answered Jesus and said, We do not know.  

He also said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. He answered, I will not, but afterward he changed his mind, and went. He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, I am going, sir, but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?

They said to him, The first.  

They said to him, The first.  

Jesus said to them, Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.  

Jesus said to them, Most certainly I tell you that the "tax" collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.  

Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country. When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit. The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way. But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son. But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and seize his inheritance. So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the Lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?
